An exceptional and unique opportunity to see Barcelona at its best
This was an experience of a lifetime. I drove around with the Tour Guide on a motorcycle which had an accompanying sidekick and we drove all around Barcelona at night and stopped at several locations for tapas. Our last visit was to the top of Mount Montjuïc. The Guide had Champagne and we watched the city glow as we had a nice drink. We saw many sights of the city. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants something unique and your beautiful.
Response from the operator: Dear Laura, Thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re delighted you enjoyed discovering Barcelona by sidecar, from the city sights and tapas to that final toast overlooking the lights from Montjuïc. It was a pleasure having you with us, and we hope to see you again in Barcelona one day! War regards from all the team

Pablo rocks!!
This was our favorite experience we had while in Barcelona. Pablo, our tour guide, was an expert historian and foodie. He loves motorcycles! He took care of us with small details, like bringing nonalcoholic beverages for our hillside romantic view. Pablo picked a small amazing gluten-free restaurant in his local neighborhood. It was a wonderful local experience. He was an expert in gluten-free for my spouse! We will 100% use Brightside again and specifically request Pablo!
Response from the operator: Hello, We are amazed by your review, thank you! We work hard to make your visit memorable and love to have passionate and curious visitors like you. Barcelona is ready for gluten-free visitors if you know the spots, we are very happy you felt safe and enjoyed it! Warmest regards from Pablo and a "please come back" from all of us at BrightSide.

Don’t hesitate-book this tour!!
First day in Barcelona and best way to discover the whole city!!! Food stop way top notch, but the guidance and exposure to the city was the highlight of the evening. Spending the evening with Johannes was great as he was flexible to our requests and has great knowledge of the city!! Don’t hesitate to book this tour! For context we are a couple 60ish yrs old!!
Response from the operator: Dear traveller, We absolutely love adventurous sixty-somethings! 😊 Thank you for spending your first evening in Barcelona with Johannes and for such a lovely review. It sounds like you made the most of every minute and that is our best reward. We hope to welcome you back in future visits to the catalan capital, best regards fro all the team and a special hello from Johannes, fins aviat!

What a fun, unique way to see Barcelona.
What a blast! A must-do when you’re in Barcelona. Our driver, Johannes, was excellent. A great driver with very good knowledge of the city & its history. He made the journey really interesting & a lot of fun. The tapas were fab-u-lous! & the restaurant we went to was beautiful in a very quaint city neighborhood. We got to see so much of Barcelona that we would otherwise never have had the opportunity to experience. Definitely a very unique, fun way to see the city. Many thanks to Johannes for a one of a kind, fun trip.
Response from the operator: Wow big thank you for this terrific review, Nancy. It makes our day and truly helps us spread the word :) We are very happy to read you had a truly fun and knowledgeable tour. We are glad to read Johannes helped you to cover as much as possible of Barcelona, this is what we love from our sidecars. We hope you have a great way back home, best regards from Johannes and all the BrightSIde team!

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Tapas & Sunset Barcelona Tour by Sidecar Motorcycle: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Barcelona.
How much does Tapas & Sunset Barcelona Tour by Sidecar Motorcycle cost?
+
Prices start at $258 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Barcelona usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Tapas & Sunset Barcelona Tour by Sidecar Motorcycle take?
+
Plan for about 3.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Barcelona is not rushed.
Is Tapas & Sunset Barcelona Tour by Sidecar Motorcycle worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 32 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Barcelona, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Tapas & Sunset Barcelona Tour by Sidecar Motorcycle?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Tapas & Sunset Barcelona Tour by Sidecar Motorcycle suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Tapas & Sunset Barcelona Tour by Sidecar Motorcycle?
+
Around 11 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Barcelona can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Barcelona and add a light layer if any part of the 3.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Tapas & Sunset Barcelona Tour by Sidecar Motorcycle start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Barcelona within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Barcelona?
+
Barcelona's Gaudí sites are capacity-limited and the official timed tickets go first, so most of the market is resellers with a guide attached. We weight those heavily on whether the guide is an architecture specialist. Beyond Gaudí, the tapas crawls in Gràcia and the Montserrat day trips carry the highest rankings in the city. On Outty we rank every Barcelona experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Costa Brava Tour: Kayak, Snorkel & Cliff Jump from Barcelona, Gràcia Tapas and Vermouth Crawl, Girona & Dali Museum Small Group Tour with Pick-up from Barcelona. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Barcelona?
+
May, June, September and October. Sagrada Família light is best mid-morning. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Barcelona?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Tapas & Sunset Barcelona Tour by Sidecar Motorcycle?
+
Included: Private transportation; Alcoholic beverages; Dinner; and Carbonated beverages. Not included: Gratuities; and Entrance tickets to the attractions (exterior visit & explanation). Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Tapas & Sunset Barcelona Tour by Sidecar Motorcycle include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 547 listed pickup locations in and around Barcelona. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Tapas & Sunset Barcelona Tour by Sidecar Motorcycle offered in?
+
It is offered in English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Tapas & Sunset Barcelona Tour by Sidecar Motorcycle?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Tapas & Sunset Barcelona Tour by Sidecar Motorcycle wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Not recommended for pregnant travelers. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
What happens to Tapas & Sunset Barcelona Tour by Sidecar Motorcycle if the weather is bad?
+
This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
