Sagrada Familia and the Works of Gaudi
Along your journey you'll ride past a number of works by Antoni Gaudí, the influential architect who built many of Barcelona's most famous landmarks. From the outside, examine the intricacies of the world-renowned Sagrada Familia Basilica (admission not included). The church broke ground in 1882 and is still under construction today! Scheduled to be completed in 2026, Gaudi's masterpiece will finally take full form as he imagined it so many years ago.
As you continue down the avenues from the Sagrada Familia, you'll come across two of Gaudi's other great works. At Casa Mila, your guide will point out the self-supporting stone facades that are both visually and practically ingenious.
The colors and structures of Casa Batllo make the building impossible to miss from the street. Now a museum dedicated to Gaudi, the mansion is covered by whimsical animals and patterns that amaze architects to this day.
Ciutadella Park and the Olympic Village
Your guide will lead you past Barcelona's Arc de Triomf and through Ciutadella Park. The largest park in the city center makes a lovely break from the city streets and cycle paths, and is home to Barcelona Zoo, José Fontseré's magnificent Gran Cascada fountain, the Parliament of Catalonia, and many beautiful landscapes features.
You'll continue to the nearby Olympic Village. Built for the hugely successful 1992 Olympics, the Barcelona Olympic Village has become on of the top sites to visit in the city. See the stadiums, apartments, and park developed for the Olympiad 30 years ago. From here you'll have amazing views of the city and out to the Mediterranean Sea.
Barceloneta and Port Vell
A deepwater Mediterranean port since Roman times, Barcelona is profoundly connected to the sea. Ride along the waterfront taking in Barcelona's famous beaches. At Port Vell, see the luxury yachts and sailboats anchored in the marina. You'll also see the large statue dedicated to Christopher Columbus, and learn how Barcelona and the historic explorer are connected.
On the streets of the Barceloneta neighborhood, you will feel as if you're in a seaside village. Make sure to ask your guide where to find the best paella!
Tapas Treats and Drinks
Even with the ease of riding your electric bike, you're bound to have built up an appetite by the end of this fun city tour. Your guide will take you to a much-loved local restaurant to enjoy some tapas samples and drinks, before waving goodbye and leaving you to explore freely and revisit some of your favorite places you've seen on the tour.

Attend Alfredo's Awesome E-Bike Tour of Barcelona!!!!
Celeste Mahugh
My friend & I signed up for Alfredo's e-bike tour of Barcelona as part of our planning before we started our amazing Mediterranean vacation but unfortunately my friend sprained her ankle a few days before our e-bike tour so she couldn't make the tour. 😭 I decided to attend the tour alone because it sounded fun & I needed the exercise after eating lots of pasta, bread, gelato & vino in Rome & Greece before the tour & I'm so glad that I did it! Alfredo is very knowledgeable about Barcelona's history & places & he took us to & thoroughly explained some amazing sights like the Sagrada Familia, Casa Batllo, Casa Mila, La Barceloneta, David & Goliath, Gaudi's Fountain, The Kiss of Freedom Wall & many other places. Alfredo explained the history of each sight in a very clear & concise manner, was very patient in answering all of our questions & he even took many photos of me & another guy, Mark from NYC, who was also on the tour whenever we asked him to which we both really appreciated as it's always better to have someone else take your photo with an important monument rather than taking a selfie! The bike riding part of the tour was super fun & easy- Barcelona has alot of wonderful bike trails that are easy to ride on, the e-bikes worked well & could go fast & Alfredo was easy to follow & helpful. We ended the tour with some yummy potatoes bravas & sangria & other drinks at a cool little neighborhood bar / restaurant that Alfredo likes & I've been offered a refund for my friend's tour since she was unexpectedly injured & could not attend which we really appreciate. I highly recommend Alfredo's e-bike tour of Barcelona if you like to exercise, have fun & learn all at the same time!
