Changing the flat tire on my husband's bike. Proof that Fat Tire needs to maintain their bikes better!
Michelle M.

It really bums me out to write this review since this is my first time rating a bike tour less than 5 stars. We had such an amazing time on our Fat Tire Bike Tour in Paris so we were eagerly anticipating our Fat Tire Bike Tour in Barcelona. Unfortunately, the Fat Tire tour in Barcelona paled in comparison with the Paris tour. Our morning tour on Saturday, January 23rd met at the Plaça Sant Jaume. We were told to meet at the side of the plaza closest to Las Ramblas, but since we were unfamiliar with the area it took us a while to locate the exact meeting spot. The Fat Tire website claimed the guides would be wearing Fat Tire shirts and carrying a sign. There was no sign and if the guides were wearing Fat Tire shirts we could not see them under their jackets. There were two other bike tours meeting in the same plaza that morning so it would be helpful if they brought a sign in the future. We didn't receive the warmest welcome from the Fat Tire tour guides. Once they acknowledged that we were there for the bike tour they turned their backs to us and continued to talk among themselves while we awkwardly stood around. Luckily, once the bike tour started our tour guide ended up be very cool and friendly. I forgot her name, but I remember she was from Holland. I was surprised how worn out the bikes were at the Fat Tire bike shop. Initially, I was offered a bike that was missing the front part of the seat! They seemed reluctant to switch out my bike even after I pointed out the missing chunk of the seat. Who wants to bike on cobble stone and unpaved paths with a broken bike seat?!?! My replacement bike wasn't much better. My bike's kickstand was broken so I had to lean my bike against bushes and walls during each stop of the tour. My sister's bell was broken on her bike so I had to ring my bell for her when unaware pedestrians stepped in front of her bike. About thirty minutes into our tour, my husband's tire went flat. Luckily, two guys from our group knew how to change a tire and had the bike fixed in about 20 minutes, but you could tell everyone was annoyed that we had to pause the tour to fix his bike. Foodies: prepare to be disappointed! On the Paris Fat Tire tour we stopped for an ice cream cone at Berthillon, one of the best ice cream shops in Paris. On the Barcelona tour we stopped at an overpriced tourist trap on the beach that had terrible food. Barcelona has so many amazing restaurants so I can't understand why Fat Tire couldn't have picked a better lunch spot. A "locals only" tapas bar or a cute churros shop would have been a better idea. It's apparent why the Fat Tire bikes are in terrible condition. At the end of the tour, the bikes were simply lined up in the shop and none of them were inspected for issues. We had to remind the shop to put my husband's bike with the spare tire to the side so that the bike tire could be replaced. Overall, the bike tour was fun, but our bikes and lunch were awful. I would advise booking a bike tour with a different company in Barcelona that offers better maintained bikes.

For those of you who were aware of the pickpocket and bag snatching problem in Barcelona this is one way to get around it. I would like to see the thief who is willing to run that hard to rob you ! There are 2 Fat Tire locations in town but i prefer to use this one located just off La Rambla in one of those great courtyard areas where you will find the best bars and restaurants that the mass of tourists never get to. Hanging out around here is for locals and the prices are far cheaper, better still the Tapas is as authentic as it gets. Fat Tire are always my stop Uno in any city where they are located. I first used them in Berlin and have been a fan ever since and although most people go for the guided tour they provide it is also possible to just hire a bike and go off on your jack. We paid €8 each for the whole afternoon. You can't even get a ride between bus stops in Barcelona for that! The bike are functional and have 3 gears and an adjustable seat, no bells, no whistles and no safety kit. Just enuff to get you motoring and on your way. We had a great time whizzing past all the pedestrians and traffic and spun our wheels up to Barcelona FC's stunning Camp Nou stadium to do the tour and then wheelied back down through town and spent the afternoon exploring at Port Olímpic and the main beachfront. The shop is closed for Siesta until 7PM which is ideal as once you have returned your bike, you can grab a swift beer at Bar Lisa opposite and then head across the square to the tiny lane that is Carrer den Carrabassa and within a few minutes you will be at Restaurant D9 in the Gothic quarter where you can pick from, what is for me, the best menu of Mediterranean food in town.

LOVE this company. I've been on their tours in Paris as well, so this tour was a must when I visited Barcelona. Got to see parts of the city I probably wouldn't have even been able to find on my own, and learned a TON about Spanish/Catalonian history from our guide, Buddha. I'd highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Barcelona, even if you've been there before. Also, go on their tours in Paris, London & Berlin!!

The name of my bike (all bikes have fun names like this)

One of the most enjoyable parts of my trip to Barcelona! There's nothing like riding your bike through the city and feeling like a local. Explored a large amount of the city, took many stops to rest and learn about the history around us, and enjoyed a lunch and drinks at the beach (not part of the price of the tour). My tour guide was Eli, who was great! She made the whole group feel welcome and always made sure we were doing okay. She also has a plethora of jokes and puns ;) All in all it was very enjoyable and I definitely recommend it to anyone who comes to Barcelona for the first time!

Lunch by the water.
Garrett H.

An outstanding time today with Cam as our guide. We covered so much land and made the most of our time. We even stopped by the beach and ate some lunch. We did a few bike tours on our travels through Europe this week and this was by the far the best.

Bicycle!

I experienced this last week and checked in when they had no reviews so I was so pleased to see Kathy's review pop up this week. She nailed it on the head. To summarize from her: "Honestly, the whole tour felt like we were just in town visiting a friend of ours who wanted to show us his favorite spots." So. Very. True. We booked this tour for our second day in Barcelona and could not have spent the day in any better way. What a thrill. We took the metro and met Juan and walked over to their office/shop. Geared up and set out for some fun. It was 70 and sunny so the weather was the perfect backdrop to tour the coast. The four of us hopped on some road bikes and took off. We biked all along the coast while stopping at some local spots to grab a beer and some tapas. The very first stop was on the bridge on the beach. The mountains and water were perfection. We grabbed a beer on the beach and just relaxed. We learned about our tour guides and what they loved about Barcelona; I truly left with a piece of their passion for their city. I can't wait to return. I was probably the slowest of the group but I was just taking it all in and everyone kept a nice pace. We ended up stopped at 3 different places and relaxing. It was the perfect mix of riding and resting and the backdrop to the entire day was perfection. I appreciated that they took photos the entire ride too, what a nice touch! What a fabulous way to get a deep, local look at such an amazing city. I can't recommend this experience enough for either tourists OR locals.

We did the winery tour version. I was a little intimidated at first. My husband used to road bike but I had never been on a road bike for an extended period. Juan was very patient in fitting me to the right bike. They're as passionate about their bikes as they are the city and the tour so they want to make sure you're comfortable. While riding, he rode at a pace that we could keep up with, not too fast but not too slow either. At one point we even sped past a large group bike tour (again, I love those too, they're amazing in their own way) and I'd be lying if I said it wasn't a thrill to pass them and feel like a local. Honestly, the whole tour felt like we were just in town visiting a friend of ours who wanted to show us his favorite spots. You won't get information about the wars or the kings or Saint George (though I'm sure you would if you asked) but you will get a feel for the actual life and breath of the city and its people. As a rule, they don't take large groups because they want you to see and experience the city like a local. Having a group with too many people changes the environment of the already small places you go to and that's not what they want. Their goal is to help you see what Barcelona is really like through the eyes of the people who live there. For anyone that wants something a little different or a reason to fall completely head-over-heels in love with Barcelona, this is the tour for you. I recommend it wholeheartedly. And as a side note - when we get home I'm going to put some serious thought into getting a road bike.
