Our driver Xavier was wonderful. Very knowledgeable, fluent in English and patient. I not only recommend it, I would do it again.
Great trip. Rodrigo showed us around. We had a great time. We landed a bit late in Barcelona, but Rodrigo did a great job to make adjustments and show us the best of Montserrat and Girona, to start our trip on a great note.
This tour is seriously the best of everything—it gets you out of Barcelona and into the countryside in such a chill way. Miguel’s the driver and guide, and honestly, he’s a total blast to hang with. His food picks were perfect, his jokes hit right, and his driving? He didn't hit anything 😁
That is beautiful but is to much to see and enjoy and
Not enough time, specially at monserrat, it will be nice to listening to the mass and touch the gran maddona
Our guide Toni was fantastic- very informative and knowledgeable. We would definitely recommend this tour and guide. Great value for money.
Miquel was our driver and tour guide. His driving was great and he was very entertaining throughout the journey. All three places are a must visit. I should have tried to go for 2 spots only as travelling to 3 places is a lot in 1 day but if you do plan to attend this trip, Miquel will be the best person you could ask for as a tour guide.
Miquel, your jokes were too funny. Thanks for the trip!
Our tour guide, Miquel ( aka uncle Mike / Miguel ) was wonderful, accommodating and had a lovely attitude. I traveled with my Mom and he was kind enough to wait for us as we gathered ourselves (particularly me) . I was most impressed with his upbeat attitude as he passionately shared his thoughts on all of the sites we visited (during a heat wave no less!). His insight, jokes and historical knowledge made this a very special tour. Our travel group was also unbelievably kind and just an unforgettable group of folks. This was an experience I'll always be thankful for and look forward to repeating with more family in the future. Thank you!
There is a lot of time spent in the vehicle with this tour so understand that going into it. It was also an eight seater minivan, which means people were sitting in the third row. The tour guy did a great job of moving seats around so you weren’t always in the same position. We never felt crowded but if you’re claustrophobic, you may not enjoy the third row. The time allowed at each stop was sufficient. The guided aspects that he provided were interesting. I would recommend this tour if you had a lot of days in Barcelona, but not just a couple as there’s so much to see inside of the city.
We had a wonderful full-day tour of Montserrat, Girona, and the Costa Brava with our guide, Hengameh, and our driver, Augusto. It was a long day, from about 8:00 in the morning until nearly 8:00 at night, but it was very well paced and we thoroughly enjoyed all three destinations.
Hengameh was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the history, culture, and traditions of the areas we visited. Having previously lived and studied in Girona, she had a particularly wonderful knowledge of the city. She pointed out so many interesting details about the architecture, people, and history that we easily could have missed on our own. She was also very respectful of the local traditions, and her appreciation for the places we visited clearly came through in her explanations.
We especially appreciated that she gave us a nice balance between guided explanations and time to explore on our own. She offered suggestions on what to see and even recommended a few local treats for us to try along the way, which added to the experience.
Augusto was also an excellent driver—very friendly and attentive, always opening the doors for us and offering us cold water throughout the day.
Overall, we were very pleased with our choice of this tour. It was a full day, but we never felt rushed and came away feeling that we had really experienced Montserrat, Girona, and the Costa Brava. We would highly recommend Hengameh, Augusto, and this tour to other travelers.
This is a full day tour. Come prepared with comfortable shoes, a great attitude and a full phone charge so you can take lots of pictures. Anatoli was absolutely fantastic. His personality, attitude, willingness to take photos, and knowledge was top notch. You could tell he loves the work he does. He asked our larger group (8) where our preferences lie and we tried to spend more in those spots (majority rules).
Excellent tour. Our tour guide Matt was multi lingua English and Spanish, very conversant and friendly. He explained each aspect of the tour excellently and made each stop very interesting with a good historical narrative for context. I will highly recommend this tour for anyone living in or visiting Barcelona
A packed full day agenda but well worth it to get a sense of the three towns. Dulce great guide and Juan Carlos provided a safe ride.
This tour was more than we ever expected. We do tons of tours and this was the best one in terms of knowledge, history, culture and scenery all rolled together.
Monserrat, Girona & Tossa were stunning! Nuri, our guide was brilliant!
Informative, knowledgeable, cultured and unbelievably bright. We were so impressed everything we got from this tour.
During our travels we ran into some of Nuri’s peers who were also very complimentary of her knowledge calling her their very own Wikipedia.
If I were to do it again, I’d book private and ask for Nuri.
Best tour! Highly recommend with. Nuri if you are seriously interested in getting something more out of a tour. Thank you Nuri!

Matt was an awesome guide. I would highly recommend this tour. The scenery is breathtaking. We loved the charming towns of Girona and Tossa de Mar. Montseratt was so impressive and beautiful.
Our guide Dulce was super. Although the drive is long she provided a lot of information while we drove. All three sights are well worth the effort.
Fabulous day getting to see three beautiful areas of Catalonia! Gaspar was a great guide, and we enjoyed the balance of guided exploration and free time.
We had an amazing experience today. Our tour guide, Miguel, who also goes by Michael, was fantastic. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about sharing the history and culture of the region. He made the entire day enjoyable, engaging, and stress-free.
Oh, and yes, he is a great driver too. Please let his wife know! 😄
Thank you, Miguel, for making our experience so memorable. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area.

Dulce was very insightful, engaging and helpful. The driver was very patient and safe. Highly recommend this excursion.
This is a really busy day but it is so worth it. Our guide Anatoli, had such a great personality and was very accommodating. There were some bumps along the way, including an hour delay because of a police stop, but Anatoli put the effort in to make it up to us. I loved how he didn't rush and he was so accommodating. I snuck in a store to buy something really quick and he made sure to find me and balance the other guests. We truly had a great time on our trip because of the rapport that he created between us all. The best bonus of all was that we visited in reverse order because the Pope was in town. Going to Montserrat in the late afternoon allowed us to have most of the place to ourselves and we all got to see the black Madonna with barely any line and we didn't have to pay for it. I highly recommend this tour, especially if you can get Anatoli!
We had a very interesting day with Miguel . He is funny and a very good driver . Will definitely recommend this tour to everyone who is visiting Barcelona .
vincent was amazing.. really a good tour.. loved it worth it
very detailed oriented higly recommended
It’s a little bit of three destinations. A good overview. But about 3.5 hours are spent in the car, so a bit rushed at each stop.
Great day out saw everything in comfort with a excellent guide. Adele was funny knowledgeable and very interactive.
What a wonderful day. Our tour guide Adele was a pleasure. Very informative and so nice. Our driver, Juan Carlos, was a safe driver. There is a LOT of walking and steep areas too. There was an older couple who joined the tour and couldn't do all the walking. The should have not taken this tour. I felt bad for Adele as she was torn between helping them and guiding the rest of the people. But she was a champ! I only wish there was more time in Tosso del mare but we lost time because of this particular couple. Too bad!!
We had a beautiful journey with Dulce and the driver (I don’t want to misspell his name). We enjoyed a nice pace of sightseeing, learning from Dulce’s vast knowledge and freedom to take some time to ourselves! Beautiful day we will remember for a long time!! Thank you so much!
Fun time!! Enjoyed the entire day and our guide Vincent was knowledgeable and kept the group engaged the whole time. Would recommend this tour but make sure you have comfortable shoes and dress for the weather.
Although it’s long, it’s thorough and very interesting to be able to see these great places so close to Barcelona. Our guide Marcel was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable! It was great to learn so much about the history and some of the views were absolutely amazing.
Small group was ok but didn’t really small van. Since we were last to get picked up I wasn’t able to really sit with any of my kids because seats were taken up. The van felt really crowded. Will opt for bigger group in a big bus with more room next time,
This was an incredible journey today. From the minute, Mario picked us up we could tell just by his energy and positive smile that we are going to have a good day. Our guide Mario was extremely knowledgeable and got us to all our destination safely. He went above and beyond to make sure we had a good time. And the sites and destinations were amazing. I would highly recommend this tour to my friends and family.
This tour was booked for 8:30. The tour operator changed it to 7:30. I had paid for an expensive breakfast at my hotel knowing I would have enough time to enjoy it. This tour operator was rigid and rude and told me Viator wasn't the boss, he was and he changed the tour time and if I didn't like it, it was too late for me to cancel I wouldn't get my money back. All he had to do was keep the original time and since breakfast started at 7:30 I called Viator and they said that he agreed to come at 8, but then he called me and told me that if I wasn't ready at 7:30 I was going to out the money. He lied to Viator about compromising the start time and there were hours along the whole day that 30 minutes in the morning would not have made a difference. He was rude and ridge and told me to have them pack a breakfast to go (a $35 buffet) He had me over a barrel. I would have lost $130 on the tour. I had paid for the breakfast in advance knowing the tour was suppose to start at 8:30 This guy was a jerk,.
