          A pleasant find
          Alex was a great guide who offered a lot of insightful information and tips on where to go and how to spend our time during the leisurely portion of the tours. The views were stunning and the weather was perfect. Definitely a great way to spend your time in Barcelona if you have the time!

          Great Tour of 3 Countries!
          Enrique and Marcus can be your best duo for this tour. Everything went really well and timed perfectly from start to finish. Huge thanks to Enrique who is knowledgeable of the places that we went to, provided good amount of information and even went above and beyond to have our passports stamped when we entered Andorra. Such a wonderful gentleman! Also, the great driving skills of Marcus in the narrow roads and through the mountains are also of top notch. Many thanks to them that we had a fulfilling day in Baga, Spain 🥖, Ax Le-Thermes, France ⛲️and Andorra La Vella 🏔️. Highly recommended this tour!

          Solo traveler on a work trip goes to costa brava on a friday (dont tell my boss)
          Easy trip I booked while solo in Barcelona for work. Had an extra day for travel and this was a fantastic getaway. Took me to the most picturesque spots and I met 3 others on my tour young and solo traveling. Loved exploring and eating and drinking with everyone. Great food in an old traditional farm house. Costa brava is beautiful and this is the easiest way to get shown around from Barcelona. Highly recommend.

          This is the tour to take of Barcelona
          What a wonderful tour. Rodrigo was an amazing guide. So knowledgeable, if you have only one day in Barcelona this is the tour to take. Rodrigo helped us to immerse ourselves in the city of Barcelona, so friendly and personable. Spends time talking but also made sure to give you plenty of time to talk and ask questions. Very flexible about time, and always making sure you were enjoying yourself. If in Barcelona again we will request Rodrigo for another tour.

          Worst tour bus EVER
          What was meant to be an enjoyable day out of Barcelona to visit the Dali Museum and home became a most irritating day due to the conditions of the mini bus which transported us. 6 people who sat at the back of the mini bus had to endure WET seats. Which we ourselves were given plastic bags to cover our seats. There was dripping water from the vents above. The filters in the ceiling unit were filthy and mold was surrounding the above panels. This bus drive was a hour and half one way. So imagine seating in wet seats for three hours. If you are paying $110.00 for a tour you should at least have dry seats. The guide was dismissive about the conditions and had no apologies for the discomforts.

          Fun walking tapas and flamenco show
          Such a fun evening. Pablo is an authentic guy who knows how to have fun, laugh and mix that with information about culture and history. Plus he did all the photos for us and created this collage for our tour. We enjoyed our evening!

          Bucket list
          Driver was professional, careful, even in torrential rain. Xavi our tour guide was informative, funny, diligent, gracious, and conversational. His English was clever and idiomatic. Terrific guide. Good stories. Stop in Baga was a toilet stop. Didn’t need “free time”. Stop in Ax Les Thermes was a nice surprise. Natural hot springs all over. New experience for us. Andorra was something none of us expected. Don’t need to hide money so won’t go back. Another stamp on my passport. Dali sculpture was fun. Had a good lunch at La Cabana.

          Fabulous tour with Pablo
          We had an amazing time with Pablo on our Tapas and Flamenco Show tour. Pablo was very informative and showed us interesting architectural history and Barcelona areas we would not have otherwise seen. We went on 2 other tours during our 5 night stay in Barcelona and this was the most memorable!

          Great way to spend a day outside the city!
          Having been to Barcelona a number of times I chose this tour to give my husband and I a chance to see some places outside the city. The drive was scenic and our excellent driver, Alejandro took us up into the mountains to visit the three villages which were all unique. Xavi, was our guide. He spoke excellent English and was extremely knowledgeable about the history of each of the villages. He conducted a walking tour followed by free time in the first two villages and a walking tour in the third. We had plenty of opportunity to ask questions and he visited with each of us at the end of the tour to see if we needed any recommendations for things to do or restaurants in Barcelona which I thought was extremely nice. I would highly recommend this tour and Xavi!

          Well worth the money.
          I cannot fault this tour. The scenery, the amount of time for stops, the comfort of the bus, the driver of the bus and Pablo, our tour guide were all top notch. For my wife and I, Pablo went above and beyond what would be expected of him. My wife has difficulty walking and Pablo ensured that her needs were catered for in the best way. Not only that, he was excellent with all the passengers. Looking after us like royalty. He is a credit to this company.

        At 5PM on the day before our scheduled tour, the captain of our ship said that the weather was too bad to dock in Mykonos. I immediately called the tour operator to inform them we would not be docking and so could not go on the tour. Their answer--NO REFUND. Even though it was not our choice, but unsafe according to the HAL captain. NO REFUND

        I suggest you find another company to take you on a tour of Mykonos.

        Trip advisor did offer us a 1/2 refund.

        We really had a wonderful trip to Girona and Costa Brava with our tour guide Sergio. With his knowledge of the area, he continously explains the historical areas we passed from Barcelona to Girona and Costa Brava. Everyone in our group had an excellent experience and enjoyed each others conpany, thanks to Ssrgio who managed to make us all comfortable with each other with his stories that we share. Although it was a long ride we didn’t notice the time on our way to and from Girona. Sergio took us to a wonderful beachfront restaurannt in Costa Brava with excellent service. All in all we enjoyed our trip and learned a lot from the places we visit. Sergio was really an excellent tour guide, friendly and professional and took care of everyone in the group. If you plan to take any tour with this company, ask for Sergio to be your guide.

        We just finished a wonderful day tour with Pablo. He was an excellent tour guide - knowledgable, interesting & fun. The guided tour of Girona Pals and Costa Brava were great and included some free time as well. The sights were amazing. We enjoyed a lovely seaside lunch with new friends from the tour. It was a great day and Pablo is an exceptional tour guide!

        Great trip from start to finish and mostly to do with Pablo, our tour guide. He made us so comfortable and not rushed through, enough personal space and time were given,
        All in all a very nice tour, specially Pals and Palafrugell!! Highly recommend for people who likes solitude and quietness.

        It was great that the guide conducted the tour in a pleasant manner. From Pals to Costa Brava to Girona, the day passed so quickly.
        I enjoyed the tour to the fullest because they were very passionate about key photo spots and related information and made the atmosphere enjoyable.
        I was a little worried before going because it was conducted in English, but it was even better because they kindly explained it well.

        I had the most AMAZING day on this tour. Jordie our guide was fun, informative, helpful, friendly and most of all a font of history about the areas we visited and the Catalonian people. Girona was an eye opener, with it’s cobbled laneways, stone buildings, ramparts, walls and history Jordi guided us around part of the town, filling us in on the history and then recommend areas to go in our free time in the town, which was excellent. Personally I think he went out of his way to make sure we saw as much as we could and to experience the ambiance. The next town was Pals. A stunning, ancient town on the top of the hill. Again, Jordi gave us a lot of background info and left us Yu explore in the short time we had there. The suggestion of if you were late back to the bus, you got to “shout” everyone a Cava, was a fun one! Last but certainly not least was Calella de Palafrugell! My first glimpse of the Mediterranean! We had the time here to have a leisurely lunch ( I had to try the seafood paella in squid ink ) Superb! I also had the opportunity to swim in the Mediterranean, for the first time!!!😁 I had the most AMAZING time and can’t thank Jordi enough!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND this Company and tour. Many many thanks.
