Excellent. A wonderful guide (Adrien), extremely knowledgeable in so many areas, gave us a tour and the history of the area but we had time to view what we were most interested in (the Jewish quarter and museum in Girona) at our leisure, a beautiful stop and walk along the Costa Brava - we had a great day and would recommend this trip highly to friends.

Doing what: Salvador Dali Museum, Figueres and Cadaques Small Group Day Trip from Barcelona
We enjoyed the trip from Barcelona to Figueres, etc. It was a chance to see more of the countryside and the Costa Brava. The museum is interesting but more than that was the chance to see and spend time in the oceanfront town of Cadaques. Our tour guide, Carina, was an excellent driver as well as very well informed about the museum and the area we traveled through.

I had a wonderful time with viator tour to costa brava area and girona, my tour lady was very interesting and funny. I toured with another couple and it was perfect, the city's were magnificent, girona, pals and the city on the sea. I would definitely use viator again. Thank you.

Girona is an interesting medieval town. The guide was extremely knowledgeable about the local history. The Costa Brava was simply gorgeous. Hiking through the forest to the secluded beaches is a must.

Girona was fabulous. We loved the flexibility to wander as we wanted about the town and visit the historical spots and museums as we pleased. Lunch and a hike on the trail along the Costa Brava was a perfect end to a beautiful day.

We enjoyed this trip very much! Our guide was terrific. Pals and Girona were interesting, and it was good to spend the time in Costa Brava to have lunch and relax on the beach.

Very impressive and nice. Ours was a group of 6 on the tour, without the tour guide. The guide was extremely amiable and had a good sense of humor. He spoke very good English and was very knowledgeable about the history of Spain and how it concerned the place that we visited. It was a leisurely trip, with adequate time spent at Girona, Pals and Costa Brava. Pals is a delightful small town with hardly any inhabitants but it has beautiful architecture and a laid-back feel to it that is very infectious. It is beautiful. Girona also is extremely interesting as our guide showed us the important and historical parts of the city. Costa Brava was just amazingly beautiful. We were given 3 hours to spend in Costa Brava which I felt was less as we had to finish lunch and swimming in that time. The water was delightful and it was definitely the favorite part of my trip. All in all, a very satisfying trip. Highly recommended.

The trip to Girona and Costa Brava was very good. Overall though we didn't have enough time in Girona. A bit more history and discussion would have been good from the guide during the driving but overall a good trip.

Doing what: Salvador Dali Museum, Figueres and Cadaques Small Group Day Trip from Barcelona
This is a great day trip to take if your in Barcelona! A wonderful and fun way to experience the works and history of Salvador Dali.
Meeting up in Placa Catalunya needs improvement. Many other tours meet at the same place and it can cause confusion to start out. But once we were on our way to Figueres it was pretty much a very smooth and lovely day trip. The Dali Museum was fantastic! Really enjoyed the visit However, we arrived around 11am on a Tuesday, which seemed to be when many tour groups go. The museum was annoyingly crowded with people I feel were not familiar with visiting museums. The crowds were the only thing I didnt care for. Do make time to also see the Dali Jewels. Well worth the effort and the tour includes that separate admission.
Our tour took us to Poble for the Dali Castel afterwards. I really liked this visit!! Its less crowded, more intimate, lovely and impressive. You really get a sense of Dali's devotion to Gala, and a peak into what I think was a more natural normal side to their lives in this home.
Lunch is not included, but our guide took us to a very nice Catalan restaurant by the Castle that served one of the best meals we had on our entire trip to Barcelona!
My only complaint was that the tour didnt clarify that we'd be stopping by a beach this day. To cap off the day we spent a little time in an absolutely gorgeous little local beach in Palamos on the Costa Brava!. I so wish I brought at least flip flops and something to sit out on the sand on.
This is a great day trip! A must do!

Tour guide was excellent. They used a mini van and only a small number of travelers is the most pleasant way to go. This was a great way to get to Girona and the Costa Brava. The stop in between Girona and the Costa Brava was unnecessary. I would have liked more time on the Costa Brava and I would have preferred a more upscale town. The town we were in was very crowded and the beach was just OK. There were lots of restaurants to choose from.

We very much enjoyed this relaxing tour. The guide was knowledgeable and friendly. He allowed a lot of time for us to be on our own which was much appreciated for a tour of this length. We were able to see a lot. Girona was a treat, as was the village of Pals, even though the weather was not very good on the day of the tour. The Costa Brava was just OK in our view, but that has nothing to do with the guide, who did a marvelous job.
