Montefusco Cycling

I had a wonderful time cycling with Claudio! He took me in on an incredible 60 km ride. The ride is challenging but so worth it! The views are breath taking.
Claudio met me at the bike shop and helped me get set up with the perfect bike and pedals. Then showed me on an excellent ride through the Barcelona countryside. What a great way to fully experience the city! Claudio is an excellent guide and very knowledgeable of the city. You can tell he’s been cycling for years and is a total pro.
If you are a cyclist and do one thing in Barcelona it has to be this ride!

We contacted Claudio at Montefusco Cycling for a 6 day guided tour out of Barcelona. He exceeded our expectations in every way and left each of us regarding this vacation as one of our best. There were 7 of us and he provided himself and another guide along with a driver/​photographer. After trading emails and a few phone conversations, he understood that we were looking for a very special cycling experience that needed to accommodate 2 different groups. One group was all about a challenging and memorable biking experience, while the other was more about touring, sight-​seeing and cafes (although he would find out that the first group also enjoyed a hot cortado). He worked with us to customize daily rides for each group that also allowed the two groups to meet for lunch or a break along the way. He guided us from town to town including mountain top climbs with fantastic vistas and wonderful passages along the Mediterranean Coast. We ended each day at a top notch hotel with a planned dinner, followed by a nice breakfast the next morning. This approach worked out very well since we were able to experience a new location each day without the hassle of trying to find restaurants to accommodate us after a full day of riding. Always keeping our requests at the top of his mind. His knowledge of the area and understanding of our needs allowed him to adapt each day’s ride to the current conditions of both the weather and the riders. We all agreed that we would definitely use Montefusco Cycling again and depending on his flexibility see if he will travel to our next bike trip. Thanks Claudio!

With a free Sunday after a family vacation in Barcelona, Claudio led me one of the best and most scenic rides of my life along the Costa Brava. The Tossa de Mar to Sant Feliu section (described on his website/​blog) is not to be missed. Claudio is a terrific rider, knows the area, and was great company for a long day in the saddle. (He speaks English very well.) And he made it really easy to arrange through a few emails. I took an early train (fast, cheap, clean, convenient) from Barcelona to Caldes de Malavella, changed in the bathroom 5 minutes out from the station, and he was there to meet me with a perfectly-​fit carbon bike. Popped my pedals on and we were ready to roll. Incredible day — rollers, good climbs, and that beautiful stretch along the coast — all wrapped up by mid-​afternoon. If you are in that region, I highly recommend you seek out Claudio and highly recommend this ride!
