What a blast! A must-do when you’re in Barcelona. Our driver, Johannes, was excellent. A great driver with very good knowledge of the city & its history. He made the journey really interesting & a lot of fun. The tapas were fab-u-lous! & the restaurant we went to was beautiful in a very quaint city neighborhood. We got to see so much of Barcelona that we would otherwise never have had the opportunity to experience. Definitely a very unique, fun way to see the city. Many thanks to Johannes for a one of a kind, fun trip.
Wow big thank you for this terrific review, Nancy. It makes our day and truly helps us spread the word :) We are very happy to read you had a truly fun and knowledgeable tour. We are glad to read Johannes helped you to cover as much as possible of Barcelona, this is what we love from our sidecars. We hope you have a great way back home, best regards from Johannes and all the BrightSIde team!
The motorcycle transport gave us a new and unique perspective of Barcelona. The tour’s itinerary was well explained at the beginning and end with a map. Along the way Johannes told us stories of each area as well as its history and significance today. The meal was a delicious sampling of Catalan food and highlighted with fun conversation.

Highly recommend -a must-do if visiting Barcelona! And I bet ALL of their tours are just as awesome! We were staying in the Gothic Quarter and had to meet our fantastic guide, Stephan, just a little walk away--but it was easy to find the meeting point and he was right on time! Very friendly and informative, with lots of fun facts and knowledge about the city. Went up to Mt. Mounjuic to see the city from above along with a glass of cava, then visited major sites around the city and had a pit stop for some fantastic tapas and some more sights. It was an incredible way to see the city. I wish every city had a tour like this!
Dear traveller, Thank you so much for this wonderful review! We were truly moved reading your words, and we deeply appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. Knowing that the tour — and Stephan's deep knowledge — helped you discover Barcelona in such a special way is exactly what inspires us every day.

We would be absolutely delighted to welcome you back the next time you visit Barcelona — it would be a pleasure to share more sights, stories, and great moments with you!

We spent the evening exploring Barcelona with Stephan. He is a marvelous guide and we had a fantastic time. It's such a unique and fun experience. Stephan also allowed us to customize the tour to be able to experience Barcelona our own way. For example, we had not seen Casa Batllo or Sagrada Familia at night so he made sure we did. Book it now. You won't regret it!
Dear traveller, We are touched by your wonderful words. Thank you for spreading, we are a small local company so it really helps us out. We are happy you could make the most of your time in your private sidecar tour with Stephan. Barcelona at night is quite a change in feeling, especially the buildings that are sooo busy during the day. Great choice ;) Warm regards from all the BrightSide Tours team, ahave a safe journey home!
My husband and I had so much fun on this tour. Pablo is an excellent guide and great to hang out with. We got a perfect overview of the city on our first night, plus amazing views of the lighted fountains and overlooking the city. As an added bonus, the tapas and drinks were excellent, some of the best we had during our stay.
Dear traveler, thank you so much for trusting us and for your awesome review of our Tapas & Sidecar Private Barcelona Tour, it's a very special experience. We look forward to seeing you in Barcelona again soon!
Pick up & drop off are great. The ride is a fun & different way to see the city without walking. The tapas are FANTASTIC & customized to your tastes.

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!
Hello and THANK YOU for taking the time to review. We really appreciate it :) It was a pleasure to share Barcelona and catalan gastronomy with you in the private tapas tour. Lorenzo and all the time wishing you all the best!
