Reviews
What our clients have to say about us
Posted on Josh Fields6 February 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Incredible resource within the heart of Barcelona. Plenty of well-maintained road and gravel bikes for rent set to fulfill any cycling need you may have. Pump, levers, tube, hex wrench, all included to ensure a safe ride. Helmets and varying pedals are for rent as well. Shop folks were graciously helpful, and ensured I'd had an enjoyable route up in the mountains. If you're looking for the means to make your Barcelona stay the best it can be, saddle up with the help of TBT. A++Posted on Loic MUNARO29 January 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. During the last years I rent several times bikes at this place, they have road/hybrid/city/gravel as well as mountain bike from mid range alu frame to top of rhe range carbon frame. The staff is friendly, there are all passionate cyclist. A mecanic takes a few minute to do the basic maintenance before each rent. So the bikes are always working perfectly! the great thing is that they aloso provide, helmets, bikepacking bags, cycling shoes!Posted on Natalie Ki5 January 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Such a great service provided by Terra BikeTour We were a drop in day rental for di2 road bikes. Both bikes were in great condition and followed one of their suggested routes. English is spoken in shop if needed. Would suggest to make reservations, which is easy.Posted on J G B19 December 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. On arriving to Barcelona for just a few short days of a break (December 2025), I very much had a positive experience in renting a gravel e-bike with Terra Bike Tours. The quality of the bike was great and in excellent working order. Staff member Chiera was professional, technically sharp, and supportive throughout. Outstanding, in fact. Thank-you Chiera and Terra Bike Team for so ably assisting me in connecting with quality cycling in around Barcelona!Posted on Adam Burgener2 December 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This is my second time renting from Terrabike tours. They do a great job of service and their bikes are excellent. The gravel bike I rented was great! They provided me many routes for my wahoo computer. Good place for true cyclists who want a good road bike to log long miles on a bike while visiting BarcelonaPosted on Beatrice Cantelli30 November 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
