Booked the trip at home, directly with the company online. Great communication and no problems at all on the meet up. Manfred and Julian were our guides. They were really friendly and good company. Our group ranged from 16 to 72 and we all had a great time.

This is very worthwhile doing. Manfred and Kathryn ensure that the day is very fun and that you get to experience the authentic Catalan way of life. Such respect shown to the local people. The cycling was fun as was downhill. Always felt safe. The olive oil experience was nice with the opportunity to buy true organic olive oil at a very reasonable price. We were lucky to squeeze in lunch at the local restaurant sampling local cuisine in the company of our Germans and Dutch friends along with our two fab hosts ..

Amazing day , Kathryn and Manfred Amazing , scenery amazing. Picked up right on time and from that point it was just amazing fun. Safety is 1st but after that , who needs Portaventura for adventure. Great views , empty roads with amazing bends and no hard work or queues. Knowledge of both makes for an even better adventure and buying the pictures at end of trip is a must .

We had a very enjoyable family(2adults & 3 teens) cycle with Downhill Bikes about a week ago. We got to see the beautiful Costa Dorada mountain scenery, from our bikes. Most of the trip is freewheeling downhill, so it wasn't that difficult to complete. It finished with a lovely Tour of the Olive Oil Museum and a group social chat/drink. Kathrin & Manfred (Downhill Bikes) were very friendly, kind and helpful throughout our trip. They made us feel at ease, throughout our cycle. I would highly recommend this Bike Trip to those who are visiting this region.

The entire trip from beginning to end was amazing, especially as we were looking to get away from the chaos and bustle of the city. Guides Katrin and Manfred were very friendly and punctual, and during our drive up to the mountain where we biked, they shared interesting information about the surroundings and Catalonian culture. Although we had just met, we were able to hold great conversations which made us feel right at home. The biking experience itself was great. I was concerned at first about the accessibility, however I was very reassured by the support available. A thorough safety presentation and set of rules (for your own well-being) was given before beginning the ride, ensuring that everyone is well informed. If at any point you were struggling, you were able to get picked up by the support van which was constantly, although not intrusively, following you. Water was provided at regular stops, and hazelnuts were provided as a snack halfway through, and although we did have to pay a couple euros, we all enjoyed them and found they gave a good energy boost. You do have to have a degree of fitness, and obviously know how to ride a bike, however as the name would suggest, the vast majority of the ride is downhill, so you can simply go any speed you feel comfortable while only having to drive the bike and take in the scenery, which was breathtaking. The mountains are fantastic, and the barely used roads and lush vegetation really give you the sense that you've escaped from the city. By the end of the ride, I really felt that I've travelled a long way. The trip ended in a small village, in which we were given a tour of a former olive oil factory turned museum, and given free samples of some of the best olive oil I've tasted. We were able to finish off with a stop at the local bar, and buy a wristband with some photos that we took as a group at the various stops. Would strongly recommend for anyone who loves the countryside, cycling, or both.

This has got to be the most enjoyable cycling experience I’ve had. The tour guides were so attentive and so informative, we learned so much about the history and the area!! When it comes to the cycling!!! What a blast. To be able to cycle through the beautiful countryside at your own pace is a fantastic experience. The olive oil tour gives you an insight into the local production and the tour guides are so mindful to respect the locale culture and business. I can’t wait to do another tour maybe the wine tasting!!!

Great experience, amazing staff. Can’t recommend more. Beautiful views, easy ride and very cool bends on the road. The road was clear mostly of the time with very little traffic.
