Would do it again.

This was a family vacation. Philippe is very knowledgeable, informative and passionate about Catalunya. We received a great overview of the area and also learned about Three Kings day. He was at Green Bike well before the tour began and gave us his full attention. We appreciate Philippe coming out during the Spanish holiday! The bike tour allowed us to see a lot of Barcelona. We always felt safe under his direction and the city is set up for bicycling.

Amazing tour

Sebastian gave us an amazing tour. A very friendly person that knows a lot about the history of the city, brought us to places we'd never go to ourselves and told us many unknown facts about Barcelona. The food we got was a lot, very tasteful, local and fresh. Definitely recommend!
