They customized our tour around what we had already seen and wanted to see which made for a perfect day!
Joppe did a great job! It was raining earlier in the day and they were flexible and able to work around the weather and it ended up being beautiful weather! This was a relaxing and close up way to see different parts of the city. From the side streets, to the overviews, to the beaches, it was great. The stories, history and all of the fun facts we learned out Barcelona along the way made for a fun afternoon.

Unique, informative & fun way to explore Barcelona
Had read nothing but positive reviews about this unique & fun tour & it did not disappoint! Joe, our guide, deftly drove us to all points N/S/E/W & by the time our tour ended, we walked away thinking we had seen the best of what this beautiful city has to offer. Everywhere we went, we were met w/ smiles, thumbs ups & joyful curiosity. How often do any of us get that kind of gleeful response in this day & age?
My husband really enjoyed riding in the sidecar, while I preferred sitting behind Joe. And while driving in the midst of traffic isn't for the faint of heart, Joe was an alert & cautious driver & neither of us felt nervous or scared. If you're looking for a once in a lifetime experience - book this tour. You'll be glad you did 👍

Great experience and tour
We booked through a third party… you can book directly. Joao was VERY helpful with booking and advice beyond what he could offer. Our guide, Johannes was remarkable. Knowledgeable and as important a great driver… making sure to not go too fast…finding shade (we toured in August). We had two people…one in the side car and one behind driver with a great place to hold on. Can’t recommend this more highly. Oh… we’re 68 and 73. This is not just for the young.

Fun! Informative! Exciting!
This was so much fun! And such a unique way to see the city, with experienced guides and stops to see Barcelona up close.
Would totally recommend this for someone new in town, someone who likes a little thrill, or who likes traveling in style! (Or all three :))
