Excellent

Anne_B, May 2022

This was a very good experience due in large part to our exceptional guide, Rod. We got to learn about Andorra, a country that we knew very little about. The tour was broken up so you didn’t feel like you were on a bus all day.Great day.

Long day but worth it!

Emily_O, May 2022

This is definitely a long tour but you get to see so many beautiful sites and are constantly entertained by your guide! Gloria was absolutely hilarious and made the entire trip worth it. She kept us engaged with her commentary and was very thoughtful, making sure we were always comfortable, understood the information, and happy! Highly recommend this trip to anyone looking for something different to do from Barcelona.

Exciting adventure

Denise_R, May 2022

Enrique was a marvelous enthusiastic guide who gave us excellent information throughout the day. It was a true adventure driving from Barcelona into France then Andorra.

Although the tour was 12 hours it was well paced out so we had sufficient time to rest, eat and see the attractions

VincentL, May 2022

The walking tour in Bags was interesting and the scenery going to Andorra was wonderful and we had nice photo stops. Thanks to Our group guy Camilo.

Wonderful tour!

Irene_P, May 2022

Long but very well planned day offering several interesting stops and a beautiful route along the way. A lot of driving, but it is all divided into sections of 1.5 hrs or shorter. The guide was very knowledgeable and personable. The bus was very comfortable, and the company super organized. Highly recommended!

We really liked our tour...

MariAnn_B, May 2022

We really liked our tour guide Stephen. He made the trip enjoyable. He told all about the history of the places we visited.

Response from Host, May 2022

Hi, A big thank you from Stephen. Regards, Robert

Interesting, informative and fun

Nick_G, May 2022

The tour lasted the whole day but it was brilliant. Anna was very informative and oozed enthusiasm. She was fantastic. Would recommend this to others as a great way to view different, yet similar cultures across 3 different countries

long bus ride.

nancy_b, May 2022

guess the hot spring. the views and narrative was wonderful. gave us an overview of northeast spain. andorra is a ski area for sure. other passengers did not wear masks until it was brought to Cam's attention.

Pyrenees

Sally_C, May 2022

The tour guide was great. It was good to see the Pyrenees mountains which were very pretty with some snow on. Good to try the local food and to have a rest from walking Barcelona

Unbelievable mountain drive

Matt_N, May 2022

What an amazing trip! I loved driving thru the mountains and getting a flavor of small town Spain and France, plus seeing Andorra! Definitely better than anything you could do with your day in Barcelona.

Terrific Day trip!

Gregory_G, May 2022

3 countries in a day was a long, but great experience. The visit to Andorra was excellent.Our tour guide Gloria was terrific

It is basically a bis ride

Lovedeep_S, May 2022

It was long, loud and boring ride. Our guide was speaking and babbling about things continuously for whole ride.

Response from Host, May 2022

Hello, I am really very sorry that you did not appreciate that this tour involves a lot of driving. I am afraid that this is unavoidable if we want to visit three countries in one day. Re the babbling, I think most people appreciate getting as much information as possible. However, I will talk to her and ask her to make sure that she moderates her info. Thanks, Robert

Beautiful scenery

Carol_G, May 2022

We enjoyed getting out of Barcelona for a day and seeing the Pyranees. Baga was lovely and Andorra was interesting but not memorable. It's just a giant duty free shop

A whole lot of great experiences in one day.

Peter_L, May 2022

Seeing Andorra and Baga, Spain were amazing opportunities. Everything was well organized and Gloria was lots of fun as a guide. We particularly appreciated their accommodating my wife's disability. I have never had such a rich and enjoyable day trip.

Great trip, lots of driving but beautiful scenery and towns

Nikki_R, May 2022

A very fun experience worth taking advantage of. Gloria was our tour guide and she was quite knowledgeable, super friendly and very sweet. We stopped in a small town in the north of Spain, one across the border in France, the capital of Andorra, then one final stop in Spain to grab a drink before heading back to Barcelona. Things that were awesome: - Gloria - Ax-les-Thermes, the French town. It’s known for its hot springs which didn’t disappoint. It was very charming to visit the hot springs, shop the market and grab a bite to eat. - The capital of Andorra. Beautiful and a great opportunity to capture some scenic pictures and experience a country most probably don’t realize exists. Dali’s Melting Clock is there if you like art. - it’s a very scenic ride and you see beautiful parts of all three countries. Things that were less awesome: - be forewarned that it’s a lot of driving for relatively little time in each town. We had about 20 minutes in the first Spanish town, an hour in France and about 75 minutes in Andorra. The last stop was a 15 minute drink/bathroom break. The rest is driving between all the locations. I personally could have done without the first stop, which was more about grabbing breakfast to have spent more time in France and Andorra. - the ride to Andorra is up mountains. It’s very windy with lots of turns. I got a little nauseated on the way up, but the ride down was much better. Overall, I’d say the awesome outweighed the less awesome and I’d recommend for anyone considering g the trip to go!

Ax we soaked our feet in...

SandraK_D, May 2022

Ax we soaked our feet in the city thermal pools. Getting there was more interesting than the final destination

Wonderful visit to the Pyrenees

Jonathan_T, May 2022

We had a wonderful time exploring the Pyrenees with our guide, Sergio. He was knowledgeable, friendly and very attentive to everyone on board. The bus was large and comfortable and driven skillfully by Arturo, who managed the mountain roads with ease. We would definitely do it again!

Great job Gloria!

Anthony_P, May 2022

Gloria was a wonderful guide and very friendly!! We would highly encourage anyone that would like to see sites and learn to join this!

A bit disappointed, a 1st for one of your tours

mom, May 2022

All 3 stops were great French country village was my favorite. Not enough time to enjoy lunch or to do some shopping. It was a pity. More time in France less time in Andorra.

It was a great experience

Minerva_M, May 2022

We had a blast. The winery experience was spectacular, Violeta our tour guide did a wonderful job. The good at the winery was delicious, the wine tasting was a great experience.
