The are is stunning, with varied scenery from wheat fields to beaches. Most of the riding is on bike trail or small country roads. The hotels were all top-notch. We particularly loved the sleepy beach town of Llafranc, and the beautiful country hotel in Monells. The trip departs from the attractive small city of Girona, and I wish we had more time there as well. Daniel greeted us personally at the beginning and end of the trip, and provided us with thorough way finding materials which worked flawlessly. The quality of the gear was excellent, much better than the bike trip we had just completed in France. Very highly recommended. More read less

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

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 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 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

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

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

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!
