Barcelona private day Tours

On vacation in Barcelona but you would like to train and see Barcelona from a different prospective?
Do you want to spend a morning "by yourself" cycling around the city?
Then your best option is contracting our cycling guided tours, including road bike rental, pick up at your hotel and a hilly tour around Barcelona about 70-80 km long.


Some comments from our customers:
Mark: "We had a really nice ride, 86 km, and were back at the hotel at around noon. Claudio did a great job both cycling and guiding and as he has lived in the area all his life he knew a lot about places and history. His English was also excellent."
Chris:  "Next day he escorted us on a 70k ride out of the city and up to Tibidado via three superb climbs. If you are looking for an english speaking cycling guide (with a sense of humour), who will go the extra mile to make sure you enjoy your ride, Claudio is your man. Highly recommended!!"
Chris: "I contacted Claudio on short notice and he put together an 80+km guided trip on the spot. The ride he choose in the surrounding area was perfect. Great climbs, descents, views of the coast and Barcelona. He picked me up just outside of my apartment and had my bike size and fit nailed base upon my request. I would definitely call on Claudio again for another trip! His knowledge of the routes and roads was spot on. He is a great riding partner to boot!"

Montserrat es la montaña mágica catalana. No son solamente sus extrañas formas, ni la Virgen de Montserrat, ni el Monasterio. Montserrat es tan especial que no sorprende la gran cantidad de visitantes y peregrinos que la visitan.
En esta etapa veremos Montserrat desde diferentes puntos de vista y descubriremos cómo la montaña cambia su forma a medida que la rodeamos. La subida directa al Monasterio la complementaremos con la carretera de Can Massana, magnífico mirador del Vallès a media ladera, y la subida por la cara oculta de Montserrat, como la bautizó Jordi Escrihuela. Aún veremos otra perspectiva durante la ascensión por Rellinars y la bajada por Vacarisses. Una vez en el Monasterio, habrá tiempo para visitar la Basílica y a la “Moreneta”.
