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

Daniel and Lucy did an excellent job in providing us with first rate equipment, and their hotel selections were great! We actually ended up doing only 3 days of bike riding, because the first and last days are traveling to and from Girona; We wished that we had stayed in Monells an extra night. read less

We were met by Daniel and Lucy (they are Creative Catalonia) who proved to be both engaging and very knowledgeable. They have lived here for 15 years and have developed a great business. They do self guided and guided tours (ours was guided). They worked with us to create an itinerary that gave us riding challenges, fantastic scenery, perfect accommodation, and great meals.
The bikes were Canyons and did the job very well...no complaints!
I would recommend highly this business for anyone who wants to cycle in Spain. It is a professional outfit with a deep knowledge of Catalonia and how to look after their clients. An easy Five Stars! read less

This was our 5th self guided family bike trip and probably our favorite. Lucy was very thorough with the presentation before the trip and very responsive to any of our questions during the trip. My son lost the lock key at the end of the trip and Lucy was very helpful in making sure we made our connection to Girona. The scenery was beautiful, the people friendly, the food delicious, the bikes in tip-top shape, and the lodging varied and very comfortable. We would not hesitate to recommend this trip to anyone looking for a great family vacation. read less

We just returned from an amazing 6 night adventure filled with incredible sights, great food and lovely accommodations. The tour was so well organized and the attention to detail was amazing. We would highly recommend Creative Catalonia and the Girona/medieval villages and Costa Brava coastline. Looking forward to our next adventure already! read less

The owner's were great to work with, had made arrangements for lodging in spectacular hotels (all air conditioned with very comfortable beds, each place providing a unique experience). Bikes were high quality, devices for finding our way (Garmin plus phone with preloaded maps, and paper map backups) made the trip relatively stress free. Villages that we biked through were gorgeous and there were plenty of places to eat or have a refreshment. Plan to spend one extra day in Girona- it is a quaint Medieval town with lots to visit. Last day of biking over the mountain to Girona was very challenging- I opted out (my husband did the route) and instead spent the morning swimming in the salt water pool at the hotel.
We HIGHLY recommend this trip if you want a unique and authentic experience of Catalonia. More 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

After doing some google research we narrowed it down to a couple of companies. Creative Catalonia was responsive and Daniel provided excellent service--answering all kinds of questions promptly making us feel much more relaxed about what we might expect when we arrived. The difference-maker was being able to adjust some of the rides to work for our small group. It was 6 days/7 nights and we really couldn't have asked for a better first experience. The only suggestion I would have is that when they tell you there are no restaurants open in Spain in mid-afternoon/early evening, they mean it! A few times we arrived at our destination hungry and out of luck until 7 or 8pm at night. After a long days ride, that made for a few very hungry afternoons! read less
