What an excellent day trip. Our guide gave a wonderful presentation, shared a lot of personal experience, and had a great sense of humor. We were given maps and a lot of time to explore on our own which was so appreciated, as we were all well traveled and the Guide had a good read of this. The day was very hot, but the van was clean and cool. The trip was paced well covering the inland sites earlier in the day and then ending with a relaxing swim at a local spot and a delicious lunch on our own. This is a trip for individuals who have generally good mobility, as it involves a fair amount of walking and stairs. After several days at a Conference in Barcelona, this was the therapeutic antidote that made my business trip feel like a spa vacation.

The tour guide was friendly, laid back and knowledgeable. A small group made it easy to decide where to go and made the tour personal and memorable.

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.

Amazing. Maybe change the schedule a little with less time at Girona and more time at Pals, or try to even the time out at each of the three cities.

The guide was wonderful and the trip was both varied and interesting. It was well paced. We definitely enjoyed Girona, especially the Old Quarter. We liked the idea of being given an overview and then following on what was of interest to us.

We had an absolutely fantastic day, and I am really pleased we chose to do this. Our guide was brilliant - friendly, relaxed and informative. This day trip had the right mix of being guided through parts of each place we visited and then being left to explore at our own leisure, which suited us perfectly.

This was a fantastic tour! We had a great time exploring Girona, Pals and Calella de Palafrugell. We even got to spend time with the family of the tour company owner, which made it very special. I highly recommend this tour.

This tour comes highly recommended. An excellent value for the money; you won't be sorry if you book it. Our guide was fluent in English, intelligent, humorous, patient with my frequent idiotic and annoying questions, informative, extremely well versed in the history of our destinations and a very safe driver.

I have read reviews by other travelers and was surprised to see the occasional complaint that the tour company was basically providing a transportation service. I would say that this is a product of one's expectations. Yes, it is true that the guide does not lead you around town by the nose, but who wants that anyway? We had ample opportunity to ask questions. Our guide gave us a walking map of Girona highlighting certain can't-miss attractions. I appreciated the recommendations and sought out those that sounded intriguing, but basically I followed my own path.

I was so satisfied with my tour that I booked an excursion to Montserrat for my last day in Barcelona. My review of that itinerary would be the same as above.

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.

Our driver was awesome. He made the difference between a fantastic historical and entertaining experience and a simple bus ride. He was extremely knowledgeable and interesting. And he was a safe driver.
