FAQ

• Expand/Collapse Where is the meeting point?

  Your tour meets at Plaça Sant Jaume in front of Costa Coffee. Look for your guide with a blue bike with a Fat Tire Tours flag. The closest metro stations are Jaume I (L4) and Liceu (L3). Please arrive 15 minutes prior to tour departure.

  • Since other tours also meet in this same plaza, be sure to confirm that you are with the Fat Tire Tours group.
• Expand/Collapse Is there a dress code inside La Sagrada Família?

  Yes, as an active place of worship, guests are required to have their shoulders and knees covered. It is sufficient to bring along a light scarf or cardigan and put them on prior to entering the holy areas. We cannot be held responsible for denied entry due to improper dress.

• Expand/Collapse Is a helmet included?

  Helmets are optional for adults on all of our tours, but we have them in sizes for all ages. They are mandatory for riders under the age of 16.

  Yes, we have bottled water for sale in our office. We also have a water cooler available if you have a refillable bottle with you.  

• Expand/Collapse Is this tour offered in any other languages, or only English?

  All scheduled tours are in English, but please inquire about other languages available if booking a private tour.

• Expand/Collapse Is this tour appropriate for children?

  Absolutely! We welcome kids of all ages on our bike tours and we're a great family activity. The area we bike in is very flat and our tours follow carefully selected bike-friendly routes. It is necessary, however, that any person participating in our bike tours have at least some bike riding experience, and should be comfortable riding in a group.

  We'd love to have your family on tour with us and we understand that your child may have a different bike-riding ability than others their age. To accommodate young children or those uncomfortable on their own bike, we have the following equipment available in Barcelona.

  When booking online, select the total number of participants, and then specify any additional equipment needed such as a baby seat or child's bike. These options are always free of charge but are important to reserve in advance so that we have the right equipment available for your tour.

  • Baby Seats: Our baby seats are designed for children 11 months old and older, weighing under 22kgs (48 lbs), and be able to support the weight of their own head. They are fitted on the rear rack of an adult bike.
  • Kid's Tandem: For children up to 10 years old or weighing under 32kg (70lbs), we have single-wheeled tag-along tandems. The child passenger sits on a seat and can pedal or coast. All riders weighing over 32kg (70lbs) must ride their own bicycle. This is not an option for adults or anyone over the weight or age limit.
