Trek Travel, of which we have participated in 14 tours (and counting!), has stood out amongst the crowd of bicycle tour operators in several aspects. First and foremost, the heart of your business: The guides. Whatever it is you do to train them (and we’ve heard stories!) is perfect. They bring to the table not only their amazing people skills (read: PATIENCE), but a fun-loving spirit that does not seem disingenuous. They have a set of mechanical skills that proves invaluable. To say your rental fleet is superior is an understatement.

Enjoy the reflections of the colorful pastel row houses on the River Onyar before crossing the river and wandering the narrow cobblestone streets of the medieval Jewish quarter.
