About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- kimthomasrx0 contributionsSide car ride!This was a great way to see the city. You feel like you are part of the city. Lorenzo was our tour guide and he had a lot of knowledge on the city of Barcelona and Spain in general. This is the only way to go since the traffic in Barcelona is bad. The night tour avoids the traffic along with the motorcycle. We were able to see the entire city from the top of the mountain. This should be one of the first things you do in Barcelona, so you can get a quick overview of the city and know what you want to see next.Written July 6, 2024
- T5176VYtanyal0 contributionsSuper fun! Must do!The tour was amazing! Johannes was very knowledgeable and customized the trip based on what we wanted to see. Great views, great conversation. My husband and I loved it. Super fun! Highly recommend.Written July 3, 2024
- yazans9260 contributionsNight tour and sidecar sightseeingWe took the night tour and sidecar sightseeing with Lorenzo on our first day in Barcelona to get a quick idea about the main attractions of the city. Lorenzo was amazing, very knowledgable with the city history, the tour was very efficient, you could feel his passion about what he is doing. Me and my wife really enjoyed this tour and we highly recommend it! MUST DO!Written June 7, 2024
- M2227SHgretab0 contributionsFun Adventure!Our guide Johannes was amazing! Amazing trip with lots of neat information about Barcelona. Such a fun adventure! He took us to see so much of city.Written June 2, 2024
- lianaz790 contributionsPerfect tour for a taste of the citySo great! We only had one night in Barcelona and wanted a taste of the city. This tour was perfect for that! Now we have to come back for longer. Our guide Valentina was wonderful! She’s so nice and informative and even gave us a recommendation for dinner after the tour.Written May 6, 2024
- 544waynez0 contributionsWhat a Ride!3 couples, 3 fantastic, safe, experienced and city knowledgeable guides. Exceeded our expectations. Highly recommend this adventurous thrilling way to experience Barcelona from a unique perspective. Thank you Valentius, David and Johaunes, you guys are the best.Written April 25, 2024
- K6605JLrobins0 contributionsAbsolutely Amazing - A Must to See Barcelona!An absolutely amazing tour!!! My guide David was PHENOMENAL! I learned so much about the history of Barcelona, the different neighborhoods, the lifestyle of the city. And David gave me lots of wonderful insider tips that only a local would know. I can’t recommend him or this tour more highly!Written April 15, 2024
- mary1650 contributionsGreat way to cover Barcelona in a day!Johannes provided us a very fun and informative day seeing a lot of Barcelona which was perfect as our time in Barcelona was fairly short. This is a great way to cover a lot of territory quickly.Written April 8, 2024
- Curiosity7719680 contributionsA great Day in BarcelonaWe did a full-day tour with Johannes, we had a wonderful day, being able to see everything in Barcelona we needed to see on a tight schedule. Johannes was very pleasant to deal with, the day just flew past. We caught a lot of attention throughout the day which made us feel like royalty :)Written April 7, 2024
- davedZ1472NX0 contributionsGreat views, great food, and great guides!We had a great tapas and side car tour. We had three guides to accommodate our family of five. Lorenzo, David, and Johannes were all very friendly and engaging. All three were knowledgeable and clearly passionate about the city. We had already toured part of the city and they customized the tour to focus on areas we had not yet seen. Went to a cozy local eatery for delicious variety of tapas. They had some great food suggestions for our family and went out of their way to make all three of our kids feel comfortable and welcome. Lorenzo went so far as to purchase an extra piece of cheese cake as a surprise parting gift for one of our kids who was especially effusive about the cheesecake at dinner. Highly recommend the tour and all three guides.Written March 29, 2024
- NorthStar510138352980 contributionsA fabulous evening in Barcelona!A friend recommended this night time tour to us, and we couldn't be more grateful that she did! This was a fun, comprehensive way to see the beauty of Barcelona - from all different angles - at night! Gerardo, our tour guide, was incredible. He was personable and fun, and had amazing knowledge of the city. He also had to scramble to rearrange the tour as the annual International Women's Day parade got in the middle of our plans - but no worries, he was able to make it all work and the company's owner, Joao, gave us a call to let us know Gerardo was running a bit behind due to the parade. We feel like we saw every nook and cranny of Barcelona at night, from the beach and casino to the oldest part of the city to the breathtaking view from Montjuic. And it was a lot of fun riding around in the motorcycle and side car - passerbys stopped to stare and chat. This tour was unique, informative, and amazing - we highly recommend it. Thanks Joao and Gerardo!!Written March 13, 2024
- p_dilara0 contributionsExtraordinary Tour with LorenzoOur one day tour on a private van with Lorenzo just made our short trip to Barcelona an unforgettable one. We have included entrance to Sagrada Familia and to Park Guell to our tour and we are truly glad we did. The cava on the top with a full city view was cherry on top! Lorenzo’s energy and knowledge made the tour so special and fun. We did nit understand how 8 hours went by this quick. Definitely a must for every Barcelona trip!Written February 8, 2024
- MESHARI A0 contributionsNice tripMore then great trip ! One of the best, he can show you the most important places in barcelona, i advice everyone to get in .Written January 7, 2024
- TheTravellingLiz0 contributionsFantastic way to see BarcelonaA definite highlight of my time in Barcelona and great way to celebrate my birthday. I really enjoyed my tour with Lorenzo, who shared his passion for Barcelona as we rode around the city. He showed me a great coffee place, the best coffee I've had on this trip and shared several tips, and I enjoyed lunch at one of his recommendations I have already been telling everyone it's a must do when visiting BarcelonaWritten November 28, 2023
- EliC9830 contributionsExcellent and fun introduction to BarcelonaBrilliant introduction to Barcelona! Despite the unseasonably cold night - we had a fantastic evening with Juli - who is incredibly knowledgeable about the city (ancient and modern). We did the tour on our first evening and it set the context for everything else. And the bike was a fun way to see the city! Many thanks Juli and Brightside tours.Written November 16, 2023

This was a great way to see all the sights of Barcelona on a private tour. There is so much distance between sights and walking would be difficult but this tour allows you to see so many sights easily. With kids this is especially great because they love to sit in the sidecar and don't have the stamina for all the walking of the city!
The guides were so friendly and knowledgeable. They will also customize the tour based on what you would like to see or what sights you have already been to. Parts of the tour you get off the bikes and walk around so it's a nice mix. Would definitely recommend.

This is our third visit to Barcelona, but it is the first time we have felt that Barcelona has come alive and become three-dimensional during our journey!
The sidecar motorcycle not only offers a different perspective on well-known sights but also allows us to flexibly navigate through city avenues and village alleys. This experience enables us to appreciate the unique character of each corner and discover the impressive human elements of Barcelona hidden beneath its magnificent architecture.
Thank you, Johannes,
Your meticulous preparation and sharing of your detailed insights have allowed us to savor a brand new Barcelona that will stay in our hearts forever.
In the future, every time we visit Barcelona again, we will remember the sunshine you brought to us.
第三次造訪Barcelona,但卻第一次覺得Barcelona在一路的行程中變得有生命的立體起來!
sidecar motorcycle不僅僅是從不同的視角觀看耳熟能詳的著名景點,靈活的穿梭在城市大道與village小巷道,能夠體會屬於每個角落屬於自己的特色,發現隱藏在目不暇給偉大建築下,令人讚嘆的巴塞隆納的人文。
謝謝你,Johannes,
你認真的準備與分享你自己細緻的體會,讓我們品味到會一輩子留在我們心裡,全新的巴塞隆納。
在未來,每一次我們再次造訪巴塞隆納時,都會想起你給我們的陽光。

We traveled for 10 days from Madrid to Seville then to Barcelona. Throughout our 10 days in Spain we did multiple tours and this tour was definitely the highlight of our trip! Stephan and Johannes were fantastic from the start. We did the half day tour and spent 3+ hours seeing the entire city. Both were extremely knowledgeable and showed us places we would have not otherwise known about. This tour is a must do when visiting Barcelona! Thank you Stephan & Johannes!

Excellent tour. Gerardo and Valintina were excellent guides. The tour is personal and flexible, and a great way to get an overview of the city's history, structure and key sites. It soon becomes excellent value for money as it saves a couple of days of transport, footslog and accommodation. It is a fun way of adding a couple of days extra value to your stay.

Great way to see A LOT of Barcelona! Our guides were so amazing! They arrived early, communicated with us up to our tour date and both drivers talked us through the tour. By the time the tour was over both of our boys didn't want to the tour to end! The drivers were SO, SO knowledgeable about the city and taught us so much. Our boys thought this was the best tour of our entire 3-week vacation (and we took a lot of tours). My wife and I also learned so much about the city and fell in love with Barcelona. This tour was a great, fun way to visit the city. It was also fun seeing everyone marvel at the sidecars and take pictures of us riding around. The sidecar is super comfy and fun, but make sure you’re ready to sit on the back or a motorcycle if you are on the bike with the driver. It’s a good core workout! This is a MUST DO for anybody visiting Barcelona and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We would highly recommend this tour to EVERYONE!

Great fun riding in a side car, and allows you to see up & around. With headphones in the helmets we could easily hear our guide Guiu’s interesting & amusing commentary. Also, he adjusted the route to our interests. A really fun way to see Barcelona!

Great way to see A LOT of Barcelona and figure out which areas you would like to focus on more. Our guide, Valentina, was so amazing. She was early to arrive and she talked us through the tour. By the time the tour was over we felt like we were old friends. She was very knowledgeable of the history of BCN and the different areas of the city. Fun way to visit the city, get some fresh air and some sun on a good day like we had. The sidecar is super comfy and fun, but make sure you’re ready to sit on the back or a motorcycle if you are on the bike with the driver. It’s a good core workout! Loved our time and happy we did it. Look forward to seeing the parts of the city we learned about.

Hello. we are planning a trip next summer and my twin boys will be one week shy of being 7 years old.
Could they still ride and enjoy the experience or would they be allowed? Thank you.

I think they would enjoy the ride beyond imagining unless they are jumpy at noise of motor cycles. They would get their own helmets with microphones, can hear comments and ask questions (guides drive, not clients). Don’t know about age limit. Be sure to ask company about that!!!

Hello, I was recommended by Joppe. I was hoping to book a tour with him for tomorrow but he advised that he unfortunately wouldn’t be available. He did assure that all the guides were excellent!! I would like to book for tomorrow morning starting at 9. But first I would like to know if any adjustments could be made in the price for deducting the cava. This tour is for myself and my 15 year-old daughter. So needless to write that the cava and romance does not apply 😊. I hope to hear from you soon so that I will know how to plan our day. Thank you kindly, Robin
Hi there, i think you are a bit confused. I did the tour with Joppe. For pricing adjustments, best would be to contact briteside tours.

Since we are arriving by cruise ship, I assume the guide will wait for us to arrive at the Hotel Grand Marina. There are times when the ship doesn't get immediate clearance from Customs. We hope to be off the ship as soon as we are given clearance. Hoping the Grand Marina Hotel is a quick walk from the dock.

The TripAdvisor site shows that the May 14, 2019 half day BrightSide Tour is $307.10 CAN. But on the BrightSide Tour website, the cost is 300 Euros ($470 CAN). What is the difference in tours that would justify such a large difference in price??

Hello traveler!
The rates for two people are 300EUR for the 4:30h Half Day tour (150EUR each) and 200EUR for the 3:00h Highlights tour (100EUR each) - the rates should be exactly the same on the website and on tripadvisor. Thru trip advisor only the 3:00h tour is available, other tours only on website.
The main difference between both tours is that the Half Day (4:30h) tour is 1:30h longer and also includes Park Guell, St Paul Hospital and off the beaten track charming neighborhoods such as Gracia.
Enjoy your tour!
