Steel Donkey Bike Tours Barcelona

The Steel Donkey bike tour of Barcelona was truly spectacular. Our guide was Bella and both her English and Spanish were perfect. The tour was the exact right amount of biking and resting and the 4 hours truly flew! I learned so much about this beautiful city and I’m certain I saw things I never would have found on my own. I highly recommend doing this — even in the 100+ degree heat in late June, we had a great time! Bella is amazing!

This bike tour was an excellent introduction to Barcelona for our group of six. We chose to come straight off an overnight flight from the U.S. and hop on e-bikes for a tour. These tours generally last four hours, but we recommend asking for a shorter tour unless you are accustomed to riding bikes for long periods of time. Augustine was enthusiastic and entertaining. We started at the Barcelona dock and the Steel Donkey shop was a little hard for us to locate. Augustine found us sleepwalking around the upper level. The tour takes you past many famous places in Barcelona as he points out things built for various events, like the Olympics and the General Exhibition. One of our favorite spots was Park Ciutadella, a beautiful green space. You need an hour or so to roam around here, so make time to come back on your own!

This was the first thing we did when we arrived in Barcelona & it did not disappoint. Our tour guide, Ale, knew this entire city and gave us so much historical context & city tips, that it has made the rest of our week very easy. I highly recommend.

A perfect way to experience Barcelona! We had Alejandra as our guide and she was so fun. We got really lucky and we were the only people on our tour (it was a hot afternoon) so we got lots of stories and got to see so much. The bikes were very comfy and easy to ride as well. I would highly recommend this - particularly on a first day in the city so you can get a good intro to places and things you'd like to visit during your stay.

My husband and I went on a bike tour with Ale. It was such a fun time, she showed us so many places around the city that we never would have found ourselves. We learned a lot of interesting facts about the history of Barcelona as well as what life is like living there today. I definitely recommend the tour, it was a great experience!

Our tour with Bella was a wonderful start to our trip in Barcelona and she was a fantastic guide! I was nervous about riding a bike in such a big city but we took very safe routes and it was great. Would highly recommend this, especially at the beginning of a trip to get a feel for some areas.

We had a great time on the Steel Donkey bike tour. The tour took us all over and we learned so much about this amazing city. Alejandra was so helpful and welcoming. I was amazed how they took us so many places in such a busy city and we were never with traffic. The birds were comfortable and easy to ride. Highly recommended for your first visit to get oriented and discover so many places to come back and see.

We loved our tour with Augustin! We had a group of 10 aged 4- adult and it was all our kids favorite Barcelona activity. We learned a ton about the history and visited awesome parts of the city that weren't in our plans. There were some definite hidden gems and we covered so much ground that a walking tour could never accommodate.
