Catalonia Bike Tours

Tuvimos un gran recorrido con Cataluña Bike Tours. La ruta estuvo bien diseñada y el alojamiento fue fantástico. Las direcciones de la aplicación GPS no siempre fueron 100% correctas, ¡pero perderse de vez en cuando aumenta la aventura!
Sugerencias de otros tours en bicicleta que hemos realizado:
1. Sería útil añadir una pequeña cesta a las bicicletas de alquiler para artículos personales.
2. La aplicación GPS generalmente agota la batería del teléfono en aproximadamente 4 horas. Incluir un dispositivo de refuerzo de energía sería económico y permitiría tener energía durante todo el día. Hemos recibido esto en otras giras.
3. Incluir una botella de agua como recuerdo es una buena forma económica de comercializar. Muchos amigos preguntan qué compañía de viajes utilizamos y es útil sacar una botella de agua para mostrársela.
Considerándolo todo, obtuvimos la gira que esperábamos. Glen y Kim, Alberta, Canadá.

Excelente servicio. Gerard y su equipo son pacientes, flexibles y profesionales. Las bicicletas son excelentes. Tuvimos un accidente con una bicicleta y esa misma tarde nos entregaron una de repuesto para que el ciclista pudiera continuar con el grupo. Servicio de primera y bicicletas de primera.

¡Nuestra familia de cinco miembros (dos adultos y 3 adolescentes de entre 13 y 17 años) se divirtió muchísimo andando en bicicleta por la Costa Brava con Gerard y Cataluña Bike Tours! Pasamos un día andando en bicicleta a lo largo de la costa y luego en kayak, y otro hacia el interior en bicicleta a través de campos de girasoles y pueblos medievales. Las bicicletas eran geniales, las vistas hermosas y variadas, y Gerard caminaba y planificaba nuestros días perfectamente. Durante la mitad del primer día, nuestra hija se sintió mal, y Gerard la llevó en la camioneta con su encantadora y amable compañera hasta que nuestra hija se sintió lo suficientemente bien como para volver a unirse a nosotros (gracias a que las bicicletas eran eléctricas, ella estaba capaz de hacerlo). Nuestra hija nos dijo que todavía tuvo un día fantástico, porque Gerard y su equipo fueron muy amables y simpáticos, y ella pudo practicar su español. ¡Recomendamos encarecidamente Cataluña Bike Tours!

Amazing! Great communication, extremely helpful, great bikes. I can recommend 100%. Will book again.

Everything was good. Good hotels, good bikes, good maps on the app.
One important detail is that the bikes are not insured and got it to know when I received the bikes. They provide chain locks but it can be stolen and you can have an accident. We never left the bikes out of our eyes.
The restaurants that they Recomended are amazing. Thank You

¡Qué experiencia tan increíble! Gerard nos llevó a mi marido y a mí a un maravilloso recorrido por la Costa Brava. Fue paciente con mi falta de experiencia en una bicicleta eléctrica, pero me apoyó y me animó. Las vistas eran absolutamente impresionantes y sus ideas las hicieron aún más especiales. No puedo recomendar esto lo suficiente. Cualquiera que esté en la zona (o en Barcelona) debería disfrutar de esta experiencia.

Fantastic bicycle rental company would 100% recommend.
Montse, Gerrard and Guillem are a great team that sorted us out with some top notch carbon road bikes.

Great company to rent a bike. I rented a road bike. Almost brand new, carbon, electric shifters. Top price / quality. And great service and people. Highly recommend!

Hired two bikes in October. Great price, great communication, bikes were in great condition and arranging delivery/collection was very easy - would recommend

I decided to go on a spontaneous bike tour in November, which usually is not the season here in Spain. But Gerard and Montse did a wonderful job of putting together this bike tour experience. The carefully curated routes gives ample things to absorb and experience. Its a great way to explore a place. I highly recommend trying them out, and I will go to them again in the future!

Friendly, efficient and incredibly helpful at every point. Highly recommended for bike hire in the region.

A big six stars to the crew at Catalonia Bike tours. We did a four stage ride from Girona to Costa Brava and back inland through some small medieval villages. The accommodations were perfect, the food terrific, and our guide Gerard and Guillem (our cheerleader) were fun and informative. Special thanks to Montse for all her punctual correspondence. Can't wait to do another adventure with this group.
Gràcies,
Tom and Claudette

Absolutely outstanding service and great hire bikes. Cycling in Girona is also a must. I would highly recommend these guys

We had a super Costa Bravo bike tour with Catalonia Bike Tours. We did 4 days of self guided biking starting and ending in Girona. We stayed in the towns of Girona, Pals, and Platya de Aro and they were each unique and wonderful. The hotels were top notch! We loved going to the beach and swimming in Platya de Aro and the walled village of Pals and hotel we stayed in were fabulous. The bikes provided were perfect and Catalonia Bike Tours was very supportive, checking in most days to see how things were going. The app was a little tricky to use in the busier towns but we always managed. Overall this was a bike trip and company I highly recommend!

We booked a 5-day self-guided tour of the Costa Brava with Catalonia Bike Tours and had an absolutely incredible time. The bikes that two of us rented were very nice and in great condition (Canyon Endurace with eTap) and had just the right gearing for the many iconic climbs on the route. The route plans were impeccable, taking you through quiet scenic countryside, well-renowned climbs, stunning descents, gorgeous towns of many flavors and sizes along the coast and of all modern and medieval eras. There is such a unique charm to riding in Catalonia, the other riders always wave, the drivers are always courteous. I can't wait to come back to experience it again. The only thing we are sad about is that we've already experienced it for the first time, and we can't get that initial feeling of astonishment back again.

I had a fantastic experience with Catalonia Bike Tours recently. They were incredibly on point with every detail. They picked me up at the train station and drove us to the first hotel. They organized lunches and dinners for us and luggage transport between hotels. The support van driver and our tour guide were kind, funny and instantly part of the group energy. Our guide was Cristina, who worked closely with our Support driver and 'back up guide', Miquel.

We ate local food and stayed in gorgeous locations at very nice hotels.

I highly recommend Catalonia Bike Tours and would book with them again in a second.

In behave of my friends and myself we would like to thank you Catalonia Bike Tours for the support during our stay in Girona. From the first contact with Gerard and Montse all went well. Bike delivery was perfect, the Canyon bikes were in perfect shape, especially the shifting. Taxi driver Alfons was friendly and on time. So big thank you that we experienced an almost perfect week in Catalonia (weather on Friday and Saterday was not suited for long rides).

This was an amazing experience. We did the 3 day, self guided tour (I’m sad I didn’t get to do the 2nd route in the four day series but will have to come back). Everyone we worked with (Montse and Girard) was thoughtful and conscientious about the service they provided. For example, CBT provided us with well maintained Canyon bikes fit exactly to our dimensions and preferences (they met via zoom to orient us about the biking landscape), met with us at our convenience when we arrived in Girona, arranged wonderful hotels to stay at, including the lovely Del Moli del Mig in the countryside outside of Torroella de Montgri, transported our luggage from hotel to hotel, and provided us with great routes through Ride With GPS (you cannot do these routes without it). The routes were everything Girard said they would be including the Els Angels climb on the last day.

Ha estat un plaer tractar amb Catalonia Bike tours. Un tracte immillorable, faciliten molt les gestions i tenen material de molt bona qualitat! 100%recomanable. Repetirem!

The bikes were great.
Excellent service, organization and, most of all, very good disposition and flexibility to accommodate everyones needs.
We went on a 7 day trip, 15 people!
I highly recommend it!

Took an e-bike tour out of Tamariu with my family of five and loved it. Great bikes and our guide was really helpful, friendly and happy to be with us. Would absolutely recommend this tour as way to see the area. E-bikes made all the hills, even the huge one up to the light house, easy.

My family of four took a 4 day self guided tour from Girona to Platja D’aro to Pals then back to Girona. We rented bikes and they were amazing. 3 canyon gravel bikes and a Scott ebike for my daughter. They were immaculate and great bikes. The route was excellent, the app worked great and the riding was a lot of fun. Nice mix of everything and the bikes were up to the challenge and the right tool for the job. Transfers to and from Barcelona went off without a problem. Montse helped us out of a self induced problem, going above and beyond. Gerard and I traded sport food and had great a great chat on the way to Girona. The towns we visit Ted were amazing and well chosen. I’d go again in a heartbeat. We did over 200 km in four days with a 15 and 12 year old. It was just awesome. Thank you!

Estuvimos 8 días estupendos con ellos, unas rutas muy buenas, puertos muy duros
organización de los guías, comida estupenda, las bicicletas Canyon en excelentes condiciones o más bien nuevas
Todos los lugares que recorrimos en perfectas condiciones las carreteras en catalunya

Los guías hicieron de este recorrido una experiencia increíble. Su prioridad siempre la seguridad, sin escatimar en confort

Excelente organización. Las bicicletas impecables

Recomendable a quien guste del ciclismo, buena comida y el turismo.

We worked with Montse and Gerard from Catalonia Bike Tours to plan a dream three-stage, self-supported bike trip from Girona to Costa Brava and back. Everything was perfect - our bikes were fantastic, the routes excellent, the hotels comfortable, the price unbeatable, the support along the way responsive and informative. Gerard even picked us up from the Girona train station when our train was delayed. We couldn't have asked for a better trip and just wish we could come back immediately for another one! We've already recommended Catalonia Bike Tours to other cyclist friends.

Muy buena organización de todas las jornadas de la ruta. El itinerario muy variado y visitando todos los puntos de interés cultural y paisajístico. Gerard y Montse siempre disponibles y pendientes de que todo estuviese bien. Los alojamientos muy adecuados. La Aplicación del GPS muy intuitiva y precisa.
Nos ha encantado viajar con Catalonia Bike Tours.

We had an excellent experience with Catalonia Bike Tours! It was so easy to book the bikes with Gerard the bike owner and we received high end beautiful bikes. We booked last minute and Gerard had the bikes delivered to us at our campsite the next day with a child seat for our 3 year old. We will book again with Catalonia Bike tours next year when we return! The cycling is amazing in Costa Brava with so many bike routes! Thanks again Gerard for the best customer service and making our bike holiday come true! Eva and Family

Excelente servicio, una gran experiencia. Todo de maravilla 7 dias de rodadas en costa brava y Pirineos. (Cataluñia)

Gran equipo y organización

En Gerard ens ha conduït per una ruta plena de racons i paisatges inesperats. Molt recomanable.

Fantastic!
Our experience with Catalonia Bike Tours was nothing short of fantastic. Our experience with Girard and his team, from the start to the end, was everything we could have hope for and more, making our riding experience in Girona and the Costa Brava ideal.

This was our first European biking tour, so we had lots of questions and requests, and Girard and his team handled all of them with courtesy and professionalism. All of our questions were answered promptly and professionally, and all of our specific needs and requests were accommodated with no fuss or pushback (e.g. An extra night in Girona, a wahoo computer mount, changing to a bike with a.power meter, etc.).

The route was ideal. This being our first experience with this type of tour, but with lots of miles under our belt, we didn’t know what to expect on the road, and subsequently we were simultaneously concerned about being under and overwhelmed. However, the route selection turned out to be perfect. Every day was a different experience, enjoying a different part of the province and a different type of ride. One day it was mostly about long climbs, another about short steep hills along the coast, another a beautiful tour through a series of medieval villages. We can’t say enough about how perfectly tailored the routes were to our expectations.

The equipment was first rate. The bikes we rode were like (and one was in fact) new. They were excellent bikes and were well maintained. The ancillary equipment (lights, tubes, etc) were first rate as well. They didn’t let us down and we never had so much as a flat tire (or battery). One of us rode a road ebike and the other road a traditional road bike.

This was a great experience and we won’t hesitate to recommend Girard and his team to anyone.

Thank you!

I rented a road bike for a about a week and had a great experience with it. The bike was in great condition and came with essential accessories included. Delivery and pickup were on time, and the pricing was very reasonable. I can only recommend their service!

My husband and I just completed a 5 day 4 staged tour. I cannot say enough about Catalonia Bike tours. Right from the hosting, the administration, the choice of hotels and restaurants to daily trips.everything was first class! Daily trips were planned to perfection with locales being varied from costal to inland to climbs to pastoral paths. Gerard was born and brought up here so he knows the backroads to perfection. He is passionate and enthusiastic about sharing his "Catalonia' with all who visit and doing so on a bike is the icing on the cake! Do not hesitate to book and spend the money with this local company! Most importantly my husband (non cyclist) loved it as much as I did.he is converted now!

Ruta preciosa per Collsacabra, val molt la pena. Paisatge precios i guia, en Gerard, genial! Us ho recomano

Nos organizaron un viaje para 15 ciclistas bastante exigentes. Fue un éxito!

Gran equipo, muy profesional y servicial. Lo mejor es que disfrutan su trabajo y se nota en los resultados.

Felicidades!

Alquilé una gravel para hacer la ruta girona-banyoles-girona y acabé encantada con la bici que me habian dejado con muy buenas caracteristicas y el trato recibido muy bueno. Los recomiendo 100% y seguramente yo vuelva a hacerlo.

Pedalada pel Collsacabra. Amb en Gerard de Catalonia Bike tours, va superar les expectatives, us el recomano. Va ser genial. Molt bon guia, ens va portar a llocs molt interessants.

I booked a five-day, self-guided tour with Catalonia Bike Tour and was really pleased with both the the route/accommodation they planned and the level of service I received throughout my trip. The route was challenging yet rewarding, balancing tough climbs with interesting sites along the way. The team provided fast and helpful support whenever I needed it and even offered to help adjust my itinerary. Highly recommended and look forward to returning to do another trip with them in the future.

Excelente experiencia muy buen actitud, gran calidad de bicis de renta y guías muy experimentados con alto compromiso de servicio
Los recomiendo ampliamente

Ha sigut una experiència molt i molt xula!
En Gerard ens ha tractat super bé, molt amable i molt bon guia. Vam fer una sortida molt maca i molt entretinguda, i adaptant-se al nostre nivell amb la bici.
Totalment recomanable!
Moltes gràcies!
