★★★★★ Michael Golenberke 7 months agoSpain Was Wonderful!
· Medieval Villages of Catalonia
Our first trip to Spain was fantastic. This was not our first bike tour we were much better prepared. We had some difficulty navigating the Barcelona airport and train station to get to Girona. Once we arrived however, all was absolutely beautiful. I cannot give enough praise to Daniel. His briefing, preparation of the bikes and tips on stops along the various routes was excellent. He was a joy to work with. The only comment was to possibly reconsider staying one night in Monells instead of two. Monells is a very charming village but very small and limited sites to see. Otherwise, I would not change a thing! You will not be disappointed.

★★★★★ Anne Stanek 7 months agoSecond time on this trip and it was well worth a second visit!
· Best of Catalonia Cycle Touring
This trip is extremely well organized, with lovely hotels, great breakfasts and so much variety in the bike routes. Although it has some challenging uphills, a lot of it is down hill, which is great fun. There is so much scenic beauty - going from the Pyrenees down to the Mediterranean Coast. It was really nice to stay in the same hotel two separate times (one right on the Mediterranean and another next to a castle) but still do loop rides which were fun. We found Daniel, owner of Creative Catalonia, was a most personable and easy going guy. We had a problem with a bike and within two hours (during which time we enjoyed one of the many superb lunches we had along the way) he had arrived where we were and fixed the bike. This is still one of my most favorite rides out of the ten tours that we have done over the years.

★★★★★ neal copperman 7 months agoGreat history and personal insights
· Bilbao Central Bike Tour
I ended up being on a solo tour, which was a real treat. My guide Willie was friendly and knowledgeable. He grew up in Bilbao and saw a lot of the changes of the last few decades. Was interesting hearing his childhood remembrances and enjoying his clear love of the town. I just wish I had managed to do this as my first activity in Bilbao!

· Gaudi’s Barcelona E-Bike Tour
Biking is the best way to visit any city and Barcelona is very bike friendly. E-bikes are the future, as I say” people who walk must not know how to ride and if you don’t ride an e-bike you are only getting half the fun”

Good way to spend 3 hours
· Valencia Highlights Bike Tour
Very busy place and many different tours converge at the sites. Might have been better as a private tour or maybe just rent a bike.

Signed up for ebike tour but slowed down by large family not on e-bikes. Waste of money to book e-bikes.

★★★★★ David Princep 6 months agoGreat trip, excellent accommodation.
· Andalusia: Southern Spain
Challenging trip, but excellent value for money and quality of accommodation was best we'veexperienced in over 10 years of cycling holidays. Recommend book extra nights - Seville, Carmona, Arcos. Jerez & Cadiz all suitable. If returning to Seville etc by train book early as even in November trains were very busy. Good scenery on days 4 & 5.

A Barcelona Bike Tour Delight
· Gaudi’s Barcelona E-Bike Tour
What a perfect find on biketours.com for a day of e-biking thru Barcelona. Our wonderful local Catalan tour guide, Edna, took us on a wonderful tour thru the old district to the beaches to the guadi city cites. Along the way stopped at many places learning a bit of history. It was a great tour for us and we highly recommend this tour.

Beautiful and fun experience
· Best of Catalonia Cycle Touring
This trip surpassed our expectations. The scenery was beautiful. The food was delicious and the hotels were really unique places with character. Most of the trip is on paths and gravel or dirt roads, so you and your bike will get dusty. Also you should try to eat between 1 and 4, as small towns may not have anything open outside those hours. Logistics were great and it was nice to be provided a GPS so we didn't have to use our own phones. Definitely would recommend this to anyone. If you are not a strong cyclist there's a few spots where you might want an e bike or else will be walking, but generally it's a pretty easy ride. Daniel from the tour company was very responsive via WhatsApp to us.
