Barcelona Open Bike Tour
Starting from: €22.00
This tour offers a different way to discover Barcelona, by bicycle, taking you to the best corners of the city, by day or at night and accompanied by a monitor-guide and a monitor-mechanic.
The bicycle tours offer an intimate, original and privileged way to discover Barcelona; its squares, monuments, beaches, people, because cycling is a direct and enriching means to absorb the environment.
The tours are interesting for many reasons: culture, pleasure, scenery, gastronomy ... and they take place in a city that has over 100 km of cycle lanes and an extensive pedestrian old town, which means one can cycle in absolute safety.
The warm climate means bicycle tours run throughout the year. The evening tours over the Christmas period for example, allow you to enjoy the illuminated transformation of the city.
About our staff:
"One car less" employs multilingual, experienced personnel who design and lead the bicycle tours, and who help you to discover the most interesting and revealing parts of Barcelona and its outskirts, always riding on cycle lanes and through pedestrian zones, guaranteeing maximum safety.
We also have a team of bicycle mechanics which guarantees the perfect condition of the bicycles.
