What are people saying about Barcelona

Bella_M, May 2026

An amazing and unforgettable experience

Our half-day tour today to Montserrat and La Moreneta was truly awesome and memorable. Touching the Lady Madonna was such a touching and spiritual experience, and walking up the trail to the cross made the whole visit even more special. The atmosphere and vibes of the place were simply peaceful and breathtaking. I only wish we had more time to enjoy the funicular ride, but even without it, the experience was already well worth it. A big part of what made the tour so enjoyable and easy to appreciate were our guides, Roberto and Oreo. Their background stories and commentaries gave us a deeper understanding of Montserrat, and they delivered everything with humor and energy that kept the tour fun and never boring. Highly recommended!

Relaxing and Premium Costa Brava Tour with Uncle Mike

We had a fantastic time on the Girona & Costa Brava Small-Group Tour from Barcelona. Uncle Mike was friendly, professional, funny, and an excellent driver. The tour felt premium from start to finish, and the lunch spot he chose had amazing food and beautiful views. Our group included 8 people, a baby, and a 5-year-old, and everything went smoothly. My wife and I truly enjoyed the experience and highly recommend this tour!

Best tour outside of Barcelona

Excellent history regarding the monestary and mountains. Ramon is a former teacher and owner beyond expectations to show and tell us the cultural, spiritual, and socioeconomic history of the region. He is not your typical tour guide who memorizes and recites facts. He is born and raised in Catalonia and has so.much wisdom to share. The tour was the right amount of time and a lovely ride. Having a private guided tour with pick up outside our accommodations was well worth the price. Make sure you hit the farmers market after to purchase cheese, nuts, and honey.

Sagrada Familia, Park Guell & Gaudi Tour with no line Tickets

Stephanie_M, May 2026

Perfect tour of Barcelona

Alan was a fabulous guide. He was so knowledgeable about Barcelona, Gaudi, and the architecture as well as the history of the city. His English was perfect, he was both informative and entertaining and brought some humor 8nto his presentation. Our tapas lunch was exceptional -many more tapas than what I had expected! He was considerate and helpful with all aspects of this day-long tour. Sagrada Familia is not to be missed, of course, but the other aspects of this tour were just as enjoyable.

Lovely day

It was a lovely day. The bus was comfortable and Guillermo and the bus driver were great. The small towns we visited were the most interesting of the day and I would have preferred to see more of them rather than spend 2 hours in the city of Andorra — it’s just a big shopping center with ugly architecture.

Costa Brava Tour: Kayak, Snorkel & Cliff Jump from Barcelona

Drew_H, May 2026

Fun tour in a beautiful setting

Well organized tour in a beautiful setting. The tour had a good mix of the three activities. Our guide Marcos was great and helped the less experienced kayakers in the group. I definitely recommend having water shoes for the activity as the cliff jumping involves climbing up some fairly rough rocks. Also, I do recommend having a water bottle, sunscreen, and hat as well as a small cinch bag or dry bag for storage that can be clipped to the kayak while you are swimming. The water was cool in May and I was glad to have taken the option of the wetsuit that they offered. The snorkel gear was adequate but just a regular snorkel so be prepared to do a lot of expulsions. No fins are provided.

Montserrat Tour by Marc

You learn a bit of important Catalan history and many cultural facts. I appreciated that the tour left free time to explore on our own. Everything was well explained. This was my 4th time to take the tour and Marc was the BEST tour guide I’ve had for any tour in Spain. He not only answered all questions, but he was very patient with the English speaking audience. Give that guy a raise!

Guilford Ct

Guide Blanca was terrific for a day that was truly memorable. The mountains were spectacular as well as the three destinations, with Andorra a must see on everyone’s bucket list. Appropriate break stops during the bus ride also, and Blance also made appropriate suggestions for restaurants both in Andorra and Barcelona which were delightful and not in character with other tours that direct you to specific establishments for their reward. Won’t go wrong with Amigo. Bob Mitchell

Fantastic excursion...

Fantastic excursion through two beautiful towns on the Costa Brava: Lloret and Tossa de Mar, including a spectacular boat ride. Don’t miss it if you visit Barcelona. The organizing company is very professional. Everything is very well organized, and they have very attentive guides who know the area well, which really adds extra value to the experience.

Montserrat Half-Day Tour with Tapas and Gourmet Wines

Immersive Experience Outside of Barcelona

The early start (8:30 am) gave us the advantage of arriving at Montserrat before crowds. Our tour guide Rubi was terrific! Very nice coach bus and skilled driver navigated the steep ascent to the abbey site. We opted to do a wine tasting and tapas in the tour. The Abadal winery is picturesque with top quality white and red wines which we thoroughly enjoyed! The tapas were lovely. Plan to spend a full day on this tour as it takes you an hour away from Barcelona. For us, it was perfect.

Medieval Three Villages Small Group Day Trip from Barcelona

Lourdes, May 2026

Three Medieval Towns!

There was enough time to see all three medieval towns. Besalu was beautiful. The guide, Xavi, was wonderful, knowledgeable, friendly. Raul, the driver, was great! The drive to Tavertet was masterful. The towns were very interesting. Overall a great trip! Would recommend!

Girona & Dali Museum Small Group Tour with Pick-up from Barcelona

Ron_W, May 2026

Better than anticipated museum

Pleasantly surprising at how good the museum is. You want to go with a guide as there is no audio tour available. Lots of interesting items to see. Perhaps the favorite site of the many sites I toured in Barcelona area. Perhaps second only to Montaerrat abby.
