Girona, Figueres and Dali Museum Day Trip from Barcelona
Barcelona, Spain

My Review
Interesting tour. Girona is a very pretty town. The tour was enjoyable. Alot of stair climbing, so take this into consideration. Ask the guide from Barcelona the name of the restaurant in the square to have lunch. It's right in the corner on the river side and starts with B. There is a coupon in the book they give you for a free glass of cava. They have an excellent tapas variety plate for 12 euros. So much food. The Dali museum was weird but interesting. Apparently the museum in St.Petersburg, Florida has most of his famous works.

Wonderful Alhambra tour. Really enjoyed Robert our guide. Groups could have been a little bit smaller.
The Arab baths and massage were a treat at the end of a long day.

Really enjoyed the tour until the "merchants" starting grabbing our arms and pushing merchandise in our faces.
I felt that our guides should have done something to stop this. Spoke to people on other tours whose guides did stop the harrassment. If you purchase ceramics make sure you see them in a good light. The bowl that I purchased had a crack and chips that I couldn't see in the poor lighting inside. It was well wrapped and I carried home so obviously was already there.

I enjoyed the Royal Palace tour. The guide was very informative. However riding around in a bus and not being able to get off is not my idea of touring a city. I would have rather done that part on a hop on hop off bus.
