Tuk Tuk Barcelona

In Thailand you see them everywhere, these three wheel scooters but now they are also in Barcelona. The Dutch Joey Buter recently imported the Tuk Tuks straight from Thailand and finally got an approval from the Catalonian Government to drive around in these vehicles and transport tourists from one place to another.

So besides the traditional forms of transportation for tourists, like the tourist bus or the taxi, you can now also go by Tuk Tuk. For now the company only offers a city tour, Gaudi tour and a return to Tibidabo. If you are in Barcelona in March and decide to take the Tuk Tuk, there is a 15% discount for a ride.

You can learn more online from Tuk-Tuk.
