Our first night in Barcelona was transformed into an extraordinary adventure, thanks to our fabulous tour guide, Lorenzo. Riding through the city in a motorcycle sidecar, we experienced Barcelona in the most thrilling way possible. Lorenzo’s choice of route through the city showcased key landmarks and breathtaking views, making us fall in love with the vibrant streets and scenic vistas.
Lorenzo didn’t just ride; he narrated our journey with stories and facts that enriched our understanding and appreciation of Catalonian culture. The highlight of the tour was the tapas experience. Lorenzo took us to a local gem that served authentic Catalonian cuisine, capturing the essence of Barcelona’s rich culinary traditions. Each dish was a delight, perfectly paired with the lively atmosphere of the city.
Lorenzo’s knowledge and tips greatly enhanced our visit, making our first night in Barcelona truly unforgettable. His warm personality and expert guidance made us feel instantly at ease, and his passion for his city was infectious. If you want to dive deep into the heart of Barcelona with style and flavor, do yourself a favor and book a tour with Lorenzo. It was not just a tour; it was one of our best travel experiences ever!

We had a great tapas and side car tour. We had three guides to accommodate our family of five. Lorenzo, David, and Johannes were all very friendly and engaging. All three were knowledgeable and clearly passionate about the city. We had already toured part of the city and they customized the tour to focus on areas we had not yet seen. Went to a cozy local eatery for delicious variety of tapas. They had some great food suggestions for our family and went out of their way to make all three of our kids feel comfortable and welcome. Lorenzo went so far as to purchase an extra piece of cheese cake as a surprise parting gift for one of our kids who was especially effusive about the cheesecake at dinner. Highly recommend the tour and all three guides.

Our sidecar tour was a highlight of our trip to Barcelona. Our guide Lorenzo, was very knowledgeable and personable, just the kind of person you want spend the afternoon with. The entire tour felt customized and personalized. Being on the motorcycle allowed us to go places we wouldn't have been able to in a car or bus. The tapas restaurant Lorenzo took us to felt very authentic and not a tourist trap, and the food was delicious. Highly recommend!

This was a wonderful adventure we had one evening while visiting Barcelona with our 3 teenage children. Everyone loved it. The bikes are so much fun and surprisingly comfortable. All 3 of our guides (Joe, July, and Lorrezo) were extremely personable and engaging. We learned so much about the history, architecture, and culture of Barcelona. The guides adjusted the itinerary on the fly based on what we had already seen in the city, and to avoid the traffic of a soccer game. For a fabulous evening of sightseeing, tapas, and cava, you should definitely take this tour!

I have been on a bright side tour before some three years ago, it was really great then and still is today. Myself and my daughter opted for the tapas tour. Our guide Jo was informative, fun and very good motorcyclist. We toasted each other with a glass of cava courtesy of bright side tours whilst looking across the amazing city. Well worth the money, the tapas at the end was lovely. I thoroughly recommend taking any of the tours, thank you for an amazing experience.

In the beginning, I was a little concerned because I had a phone call about an hour to hour and half before we were supposed to take this tour. I was advised they had an issue with one of their sidecars, and asked if I would I be able to reschedule. We had just flown in that day, so we were a bit tired, so I said sure, it wasn’t a problem and they rescheduled for the next day. But we did go the next day!
I booked this as a surprise for my husband. I told him we needed to go stand outside to wait for the surprise and he saw the sidecar parked on the street. He says, I bet this isn’t it, because he knows I’m not that adventurous. I’ve never been on motorcycle in my life. Joe promptly came out of the hotel where he had gone in quickly and greeted us.
He was very kind and helped me get my helmet on and off. I chose to sit in the actual side car, (thanks hubby for being cool about that) and off we went. I took quite a bit of video of the adventure, it was so much fun!!
We stopped at many excellent locations for Tapas, wine and beer. Joe was very cool, he and my hubby got a long great as motorcycle riders - my husband used to race motorcycles. So they talked shop a lot. :) He did give us quite a bit of history too!
We saw a lot of Barcelona and appreciated some of the stops that we hadn’t already seen on foot. It really was a great tour, well worth the cost!
Would definitely do again!

Alessandro and Pau were the ultimate hosts and guides. We had a very safe and enjoyable, unique experience that we can recommend to anyone including those traveling with young children. Included were food and drink recommendations along the way, helmets equipped with headphones to communicate with the knowledgeable guides, a stop with chilled Cava to enjoy overlooking the city. Highly recommended.
