Creative Catalonia delivered a fantastic experience and we would highly recommend Daniel and Lucy to anyone who is considering such a tour. They were very helpful and nothing was too much trouble. Very well organised and equiped and the hotels were brilliant. Plenty of guide notes and helpful hints/tips. Looking forward to our next trip! read less

Daniel and Lucy looked after everything including getting us e-bikes!
We stayed in unique hotels of all different sorts, rode through fantastic scenery that led us through small towns, medieval villages and many interesting paths, trails, fields and roadways.
The weather was fantastic and the trip will be one we will remember for a life time.
I would highly recommend someone taking a trip like this as the up close experience of riding bikes through the beautiful region of Catalonia was incredible.
5 stars for Creative Catalonia for making our trip so enjoyable! read less

Dan from Creative Catalonia (Creative Bike tours) kindly accommodated our needs and provided us with a truly amazing and memorable experience of cycling Northern 'Green' Spain and the must see Picos de Europa. The ability to have a private guided tour of 5 days through the Cantabria region, exploring quaint villages on quiet roads through green and lush regional and coastal routes of this magical area was nothing short of spectacular. The unique and boutique accommodation chosen was outstanding as was the service and hospitality we received from the locals. The guides sharing their local knowledge of culture, food, wine, and history made for a wonderful experience that we will hold fond memories for a lifetime. If you are looking for a personalised, professional and high quality service, I highly recommend Dan and Creative Catalonia. I rate their services higher than a 10 out of 10. read less

She was prompt and guided us each day on a unique ride around Catalonia. Lucy explained sites, culture and customs of the area. The rides along the ocean were beautiful and when we wanted to do more of the ocean she accommodated our request and modify our route without issue. She and Daniel thought of everything and the hotels were truly top notch. We will definitely be working on another (walking and/or biking) excursion with Lucy and Daniel of Creative Catalonia. Thanks!! read less

We read the many reviews on Tripadvisor and decided to try it out. We had no problems finding our routes, with our 16-year-old leading the way following the Garmin map, our 13-year-old following close behind and their grandpa loving every minute of the rides. The cycling was the best- lots of variety, riding on dedicated paths and quiet roads through beautiful farmland, across beachfront boardwalks, and through small towns on a dramatic coast. My favorite areas were the medieval towns close to Monells, where we stayed in a fantastic little hotel, and I couldn't get enough of the scenery (or the food)! Everything was very well done, and Lucy was helpful at every step of the journey. A truly great experience for all of us. read less

We met Daniel from Creative Catalonia in Girona where he very clearly and precisely laid out our itinerary for the next 5-6 days. We were given a GPS, phone with map and a paper map. We were shown how to use our e-bikes. And off we went for the most beautiful daily rides and very nice hotels. The people at each venue were very helpful as well if we needed anything. The gorgeous Spain weather, of course, helped! I highly recommend this company and tour. read less

Daniel, our tour coordinator, was very thorough with maps, Garmin, phone with directions and history of every area we visited. Beautiful beach coves along the Mediterranean Sea, and fascinating medieval village towns inland. Four of us used E Bikes. They were fabulous! We highly recommend Creative Catalonia Bike Holidays and this particular tour. read less

So we gave it a try, and it was more wonderful than we could have ever imagined. A large part of that was just the location of course, who wouldn't want to ride near and along the Mediterranean? But the hotels that were included were both varied and consistently excellent. Transitioning between hotels, with luggage movement, check-in and check-out could not have been any easier. The routes, bikes and navigation aids were all perfect. At the end of our tour, we had just two complaints - why didn't we take a longer holiday, and where can we go next that could possibly match this? read less

Notwithstanding that we had only spent a few days with Daniel, we knew we wanted to go back and get the full experience. Daniel was very accomodating, working out a credit with some of the accomodations we had missed out on. This October we were finally able to return to Spain and finish what we started. Daniel created a package to fit our schedule with 5 days of biking and hiking along the Costa Brava. My partner and I are navigationally challenged and opted for the fully guided tour. Daniel and Lucy shared the task of guiding us around for the five days. The accomodations were excellent and varied. The scenery was beautiful. The company was warm and engaging. I would highly recommend Creative Catalonia to anyone contemplating a fun and energizing way of seeing the Catalonian coast and countryside.
