Great Pyrenees Adventure

Bill_R, Sep 2025

Stephan was a very accomplished guide. Knowledgeable about the area. Made sure the pace was doable for all.

NOT TO BE MISSED

Shelby_W, Jun 2024

There are no words to describe this experience. This tour is almost a religious experience. The beauty of nature combined with a small level of difficulty, all ending at the remote and serene hotel Nuria. Our tour guide, Stepan, was hands down the best guide we could have had....he was kind, patient, caring and so incredibly knowledgeable of nature, the country and the history. He was a great conversationalist and he really helped us be at ease along the journey. We had very little comprehension of what we signed up for, however it was truly one of the greatest experiences of our lives. We can not speak more highly of Stepan and this tour. This is NOT TO BE MISSED.

Stephen is an awesome guide this hike was so much fun and his knowledge of the area is wonderful. My husband and I wanted a little more challenging hike and he keep us safe while still ensuring we got the hike we wanted. Rain was in the forecast but some how he was able to make it snow instead lol it was a beautiful hike. One of the best things we did while visiting Barcelona. If you do this hike definitely ask for him he will make sure your experience is memorable.

Amazing Hiking in the Pyrenees mountain and rack rail train ride

Lisa T, May 2019

This excursion exceeded our expectations! The hike was refreshing and the scenery was amazing. We even saw several Isard goats. Our guide, Stepan, was informative and friendly.
