About
The essence, the soul of Barcelona lies concealed in small streets and picturesque squares, in secret places and hidden gems that only the locals know about. Our tours take you off the beaten path to see the real Barcelona of the locals. We walk and bike in small groups and without rushing. You’ll feel like you are on the road with a friend. After the tour you’ll receive a city map with our tips on the hidden gem restaurants and tapas bars in Barcelona. Most places we recommend aren’t in the travel guides but are the favorites with the locals. Hope to meet you soon in Barcelona, Mark
Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain

We had a wonderful private bike tour of Barcelona with Mark of MeetmyBarcelona. First, Mark met our family at our hotel on the beach and provided us with a history of the city and region as we walked to the bike rental shop. Then we biked for a few hours stopping along the way as we learned about el Barri Gotic, el Born, Parc de la Ciutadella, el Raval, and much much more. Mark is knowledgeable and his love of the city is contagious. My teenage kids loved the tour as much as we did. At the end, he brought us to a great local restaurant (where we were the only English speakers) that we never would have found on our own. I highly recommend biking and touring with Mark!

This bycicle trip with Mark is a MUST DO!! He guided us through the nicest places of Barcelona which everyone must have ever seen in his life. We went eating the best tapas
or pinxtos and this was really delicious. He gave us a lot of advice for other great experiences. Mark is simply the best guide.
Very highly recommended!

This is a must do when just arriving in Barcelona. Mark guides small groups around the real Barcelona by bike, showing the old town parts like El Born, The Gothic Town, Parc de la Ciutadella, the old harbor (port vell). We were lucky to have a private tour this week and near the end of the tour, in a nice tapa's bar. Mark gave also some advice about nice places to visit (not only the real touristic ones) and for foodlovers like ourselves even more important about nice places to eat.

This was my first time in Barcelona, and Mark provided a great introduction to the marvelous city. This is a must do for all (Dutch speaking) people visiting Barcelona, even if it is not the first time. It was easy to get in touch with Mark and make the necessary arrangements for the meet up. Mark is very friendly and you feel at ease immediately. This bike ride is suitable for people of all ages and at a very nice pace. Mark shows the group around some very nice places, and gives pointers as where to go in the days to come after the bike ride. He also provides a map with sights to see and restaurants to visit. He even stays available for the rest of the stay in Barcelona should we have other questions or issues.
A very pleasant stop in a pinxtos bar topped the whole experience! Thanks for the great experience!!

Altough I've already visited Barça like 10 times, we really enjoyed the ride with Mark. He showed us places we had never been before, does this at a great easy peace and was very kind to our kids. We went eating some of the best tapas/pinxtos I ever enjoyed and left us with a map full of great advice, with which we visited many cool places after the ride. Very highly recommended!

3 hours of fun riding trough the heart of Barcelona on a bike with two children of 6 and 9.

Mark is a great guide with expert knowledge of the area, who takes into consideration the abilities of everyone (especially those of the kids without slowing down the rest of the group).

At the end of the tour he gave us his own map with his favorite places to eat and visit some of which we visited and those were also superb.

A must do if you ever visit Barcelona!

On a bicycle in Barcelona....with an 11 year old boy- I thought would never happen.... to my surprise it was one of the best days we had. Mark took us sight seeing and exploring Barcelona. It was very relaxing and informative and managed to grab the attention of the kids. A must do for families.

Had the best time with Mark while riding bikes around Barcelona. He was very professional, watching out for people and cars, as we toured around the city and ocean front for 3 hours at a slow pace. Mark did a great job explaining all the sites and recommended a few restaurants. You don't have to be in great shape to do this ride cuz we went slow, stopped many times and didn't have any hills to worry about. Give your feet a rest and hop on a bike. Great time. Thanks Mark.

We thoroughly enjoyed our walking tour with Mark. He showed us the hi-lights of Barcelona and explained the history of the area. Mark was very engaging especially with our 2 teenage daughters. He is a wealth of knowledge and his tour is a great way to start a visit to Barcelona as he provides local tips and even his own map for the rest of your visit. Highly recommend this tour.

Mark provided us, me ,my wife, and granddaughter (age 13), an incredible orientation tour of Barcelona. But Mark provided much more. From my initial email contact, Mark provided information on how to structure our visit, what sites required timed reservations, how to utilize our time best, and what we shouldn't miss. He was unbelievable in incorporating my granddaughter into every conversation and she adored him..My last email to Mark included the following: "t was an absolute pleasure being with you yesterday. You were wonderful in dealing with Evelyn and we all found your orientation tour so informative. And thank you for "going the extra mile", both in extending your time with us and in providing the metro instructions we found at our hotel door last night." If you are planning on visiting Barcelona, contact Mark.
