What the students get

A cultural overview of the city, at an easy pace

Three hours that cover the main sights and how they fit together, with the history behind them told by a guide who lives in the city. Students see more than they would on foot and remember it better than from a coach window.

Barcelona

Roman and medieval Barcelona in the Gothic Quarter, Gaudí and Catalan Modernisme on Passeig de Gràcia and at the Sagrada Família, then the 1888 World's Fair park at Ciutadella.

  • Mostly bike lanes and park paths
  • Bikes can be brought to your hotel

Paris

The Eiffel Tower and the World's Fairs, Napoleon at Les Invalides, the Île de la Cité and Notre-Dame, the Louvre from fortress to museum.

  • Mostly bike lanes and riverside paths
  • Guides in English and French

Fits your itinerary

Morning or afternoon, before a museum slot or after a coach transfer. We plan the start, the finish and the timing around your programme.

  • Route adapted to the group
  • Groups start a few minutes apart
Safety and supervision

How we look after a school group

Teachers stay responsible for their students; we are responsible for the ride. This is how each session runs.

On the day

  • A safety briefing and bike fitting before every ride
  • Small groups, each led by its own guide: up to nine in Barcelona, up to fifteen in Paris
  • Teachers ride with the groups, free of charge
  • Helmets for every rider: in Spain they are required by law under 16, in France under 12
  • Routes planned on bike lanes, park paths and quiet streets

Who can ride

  • Every student needs to ride a bike confidently
  • Minimum height 120 cm on a standard bike, 150 cm on an e-bike
  • Send us ages and heights in advance so the right bikes are ready
  • Tell us about any medical needs or students who can't ride, and we'll plan around them

Questions from school travel organisers

How many students can you take at once?

Around 100 per city in one session, by arrangement, split into small groups with a guide each: up to nine students in Barcelona, up to fifteen in Paris. The limit is how many guides are free on the day, so the earlier you ask, the better.

Do teachers pay?

No. Accompanying teachers ride free, with the groups.

What is the student-to-guide ratio?

Each small group has its own guide: up to nine riders in Barcelona, up to fifteen in Paris. Teachers ride with the groups on top of that; we don't set a teacher-to-student ratio, the school does.

What if some students can't ride a bike?

Tell us in advance. Every rider needs to be confident on a bike, so we'll talk through options for those who aren't, rather than find out on the day.

Are you insured?

Yes. We hold civil liability insurance and can send you the certificate.

Can the tour run in French or German?

Yes. Our guides work in English, French, Dutch and German. In Paris, tours run in English and French.

Do you work with agencies on commission?

We work with agencies on agency rates. Write to us and we'll send them with availability for your dates.

Is this the same as your public tour?

The route and the guides are the same as on our public bike tours in Barcelona and Paris. School groups ride on their own, and we adapt the start, finish and timing to the trip.
