On the Gaudi Bike Tour, you’ll discover some of Gaudi’s earliest and lesser-known architectural gems as well as his most famous buildings. You'll get to learn about the life and history of Gaudi while also getting to see some stunning examples of Modernista architecture. Of course, the highlight of the tour will be getting to see Gaudi’s magnificent cathedral, La Sagrada Familia. We’ve secured priority access skip-the-line Sagrada Familia tickets for you so that you won’t waste any precious time waiting in hours-long lines.

We had a great experience with our guide, Misha. He was knowledgeable about local history, neighborhoods, and buildings. We had three preteens and he did well with them and kept the pace reasonable. This was a great way to see Barcelona and was much more entertaining for the kids than hauling them from building to building independently.

This trip is well worth it! My sister and I did the tour and absolutely loved it! The riding was easy paced and our guide always made sure to check that everyone was together! At times, it was a little chaotic navigating traffic but our guide ensured that we stayed together! We learnt so much about Gaudi, Barcelona and modernism. Entry into Sagrada Familia was incredible, and so worth the price. We loved this tour and would highly recommend this company!

Loved our tour. I don't think I booked a private bike tour? But that's what it ended up being with 7 of us friends plus our guide. I am totally blanking on his name, but he was originally from Texas! For our guide, if you remember, we were the Americans and we think you should rename your tour the Howdy Gaudi tour. We got a nice quick view of the city that we couldn't have done on foot. I do feel like our guide deduced that we were fairly young (in our 30s) and able-bodied, so he rode a little quick and experienced and we followed. It was a little wind-y through traffic and nerve-wracking at times, but doable for us. I imagine he would ride slower and more cautiously depending on the group. We got our skip-the-line tickets for the Sagrada Familia, which was nice because it was crowded! Enjoyed our tour and all the history it provided!

We have done 6-7 Fat Tire Tours in Paris and they were all 5* tours. This one, not so much. We rode on a Saturday afternoon with 12 in the group and with lots of traffic and some inexperienced riders, neither my husband nor I felt safe. For that reason I stayed at the rear but when I didn’t make a green light, I got dropped by the group. They went on and I spent about 15 minutes waiting The the leader to notice I was gone and come back for me.
The highlight of this tour was the Sagrada Familia and having tickets to get right in. We were given an hour to tour on our own and would have liked to have more time - the timeline we saw when we booked indicated we’d have longer. We also thought the group would stop for tapas but the leader said that was an error on the part of Trip Advisor and we wouldn’t be stopping during the tour. Not that big of a deal but still...
Doubt we will return to Barcelona but might give Fat Tire another chance.

We got to see so many amazing sights and our tour guide was fantastic! If we hadn't taken the tour I fear we would have missed it all. Thank you so much!! Loved this tour and can't wait to do another with the tour group.

We loved our bike tour and Iyeva (sorry, not sure of spelling) was a superb guide. The meeting point was easy to find and the bikes were really comfy - we were not saddle sore afterwards despite an afternoon of cycling. Helmets were provided although not obligatory if not wanted. We saw all the main sights and Iyeva gave us a great, detailed and entertaining history of the many buildings and monument we saw. She clearly loved living in Barcelona and her enthusiasm was infectious. The Sagrada Familia was absolutely awe-inspiring and I highly recommend using the audio guide (about €8). I would definitely book tours with this company when visiting other cities.
