What are the covid restrictions?
This tour is fully outdoors, and we will maintain appropriate social distances whenever possible. We provide masks for anyone who may need one, although they will likely not be required for the duration of the tour; your guide will let you know more on the day of your tour. All high-touch surfaces such as handlebars are cleaned before and after each use. We want you to have fun, but safety is our primary objective.
Where is the meeting point?
Your tour meets in the corner of Plaça Sant Jaume near the intersection Carrer del Call and Carrer de Sant Honorat near the Starbucks. Look for your guide with a blue bike with a Fat Tire Tours flag. The closest metro stations are Jaume I (L4) and Liceu (L3). Please arrive 15 minutes prior to tour departure.
Is this tour appropriate for children?
We only have e-bikes available in standard adult bike sizes, therefore this tour is not recommended for children younger than 12-years old.
What is an e-bike?
If you can ride a regular bike, you can ride an electric bike! These bikes look like traditional two-wheel bicycles, but use a small motor to help power you forward meaning less effort to go farther or uphill.
Do we go inside the museums and monuments?
Due to time-constraints, we do not visit the inside of buildings during this tour. We do stop for several minutes at each major site along the tour route in order for the guide to talk about the site and we never miss the chance for a photo-opportunity! You’ll listen to entertaining and insightful, not dull and monotonous, anecdotes of Barcelona at every stop.
Is a helmet included?
Helmets are optional for adults on all of our tours, but we have them in sizes for all ages. They are mandatory for riders under the age of 16.
What are you bike options?
Our Montjuic E-Bike Tour uses electric bikes, to help you glide up hills with ease! These bikes look just like traditional two-wheel bicycles, but use a small motor to help power you forward, meaning less effort to go uphill and longer distances. If you can ride a regular bike, you can ride an e-bike.
