We have taken two trips with Claudio in 4 days of our stay in Barcelona (The Vineyards and Wineries tour of Penedes and The Hills Around The City tour of Barcelona). Both of them were great! Claudio is very professional and friendly person attentive to all the details. Perfect bikes, beautiful but still challenging routs. It is not only about cycling but also is a wonderful chance to get to know and understand local people through conversations with Claudio who is a proud Catalan. If you go to Barcelona, love cycling and ready for a stunning experience - you shall have no doubts but go for that trips, you will love it!More
Show lessClaudio is just an awesome person. Before I even showed up in Barcelona I knew I was in good hands. He was easy and clear to communicate with. Even with the Catalonia independence vote going on our ride went great. He was concerned for my safety from the get go, we rescheduled the ride a day later because of the Catalonia independence strike, and when we hit the road he was very clear about how we would ride, and what to expect. Tackling the roads of a major city in a foreign land can be intimidating, but I felt like I was in great hands the entire time.
As well as being a safe rider, Claudio is also a very strong rider! It was great to be lead so effortlessly around the hills of Barcelona. The route he chose was amazing. Great views, challenging climbs and amazing (I mean amazing!) descents, this was the kind of ride you can't wait to tell everyone about.
If you love cycling and want to get out while around Barcelona, contact Claudio. You will get to spend a day with a wonderful person and you will get to ride some amazing roads. Thank you Claudio!
Top notch bikes, perfect routes and Claudio is great at making sure your ride is excellent. If you are a roadie I highly recommend booking a ride with Claudio.
We did a 5 day self-guided bike tour from Girona, down the Costa Brava, and ended in Barcelona. Claudio created a fantastic route on scenic, backcountry roads. He recommend great places to stay and lunch stops along the way. The trip was just perfect, and we highly recommend using Claudio for your next bike tour!
Had a fantastic guided ride through the city and hills around Barcelona. Claudio met me with a bike at my hotel. He was very flexible with the time as I wanted to start at 7:00 AM so I could spend lunch with my family. The route and bike were perfect. If you are in town even for a short period of time, I would highly recommend booking a bike an tour with Montefusco as I cannot think of a better way to really see a city than on a carbon road bike.
Thanks Claudio for the great ride, it was one of the highlights of my vacation and I will be back to take another route!

Tips:
I brought my own shoes and pedals, but I think they would have provided SPD's pedals if needed.
They provided a helmet, water bottle and water.
Claudio picked us up from our hotel and had 2 perfect carbon road bikes for us. The fit was great and the route was awesome because of what we got to see. It was definitely a challenge, but the greatest way to see Barcelona.
