Very knowledgeable guide. The tour increased my knowledge of both Costa Brava and the character of the medieval period here.

Claudia was a very engaging knowledgeable and friendly guide who spoke excellent English. Places we wouldn't have otherwise seen and definitely worth the time and day out.
Verne_B, Oct 2025
What a lovely day. I did not know what to expect and I really had a lovely time. We also stopped at a really excellent restaurant.
Fred_H, Sep 2025
Eight very agreeable hours to experience the Costa Brava, Our guide, Pau, and driver, Alex, made this a very enjoyable and informative experience. The villages, the beaches, and the countryside in this region are exceptionally beautiful. Lunch (not included) was at a restaurant catering to the local inhabitants. That was one of the many highlights of the tour. Others included walking on the Passieg Ronda and visiting Begur and other villages.

This was an incredible day and way to explore Costa Bravo communities. Claudia and Carmen took very good care of our family ensuring to explain all we saw along the way and kept it very entertaining too. Would highly recommend!

Very informative trip, kind and friendly hosts. Bring drinking water with you. Fair amount of walking involved. Our driver (Alex) and guide (Pau) were excellent. Saw a lot of historical buildings. Would highly recommend.

This was a great way to see the Costa Brava. Miguel was a wealth of knowledge about the region, having grown up there. Alex was a great driver and it was nice to be dropped off in one spot and picked up in another to make the route work better. We were so glad not to have tried driving on our own. It was a super fun and beautiful day.
Paul_S, Oct 2024

Linda_M, Oct 2024
Enjoyed it all. Visited locales we would not have been able to get to on our own. Small group great draw. Excellent driver and guide
Seth_M, Jul 2024
Our guide Pere and driver were first rate. Both approachable and nice. Pere was beyond knowledgeable and an excellent storyteller and teacher. No notes or script flawlessly moving between Spanish and English for our mixed group of 5. Van was clean and well air conditioned. I would take the same tour again with Pere.

Eduardo was a fabulous tour guide. He knew so much and really seemed to enjoy his time touring the costa Brava. Carmen was an excellent driver. We covered a lot of area and saw beautiful sites. It was nice to do the Costa Brava without having to rent a car.
LuisRicardo_C, Jul 2024
Wonderful tour. Julia, the tour guide was just the perfect guide for a small group. Wonderful places to visit. I would recommend. We had such a wonderful time
Susan_P, Jun 2024
Our guide Julia's enthusiasm and depth of knowledge were a great help. It was a well run trip with wonderful venues that we were unlikely to have found by ourselves.
I would recommend this trip to anyone who wishes to see more of this scenic part of Catalunya.
Also, Julia's English was absolutely fluent, which was a great help.
Brenda_P, May 2024
Visiting the Costa Brava town of Callela was breathtakingly beautiful, and we learned so much about the medieval towns in the surrounding area. Our guide Eduardo was kind and accommodating. Highly recommend this tour!!

Amazing views of Catalonia! Our guide Eduardo shared a lot of information and told lots of interesting stories. Overall, it is worth the price. Thanks!
Greg_M, Mar 2024
Small group to be with and ask questions and time to go without rushing. Plenty of easy walking and picture taking.
Jacob_J, Feb 2024
This was a really interesting tour with some great stops! It was only my wife and I with the tour guides which was an added bonus as we had the opportunity to get to know our guides Julia and Miguel. The first stop was a beautiful village on the coast, then later in the day we stopped at two really cool medieval towns. We learned a lot about the brave coast and it was great getting out of the city. Would 100% recommend to anyone!
EILEEN_T, Jan 2024
Very friendly tour guide and caring & skillful driver. The views of the scenic mediterranian sea is awesome!

We had no idea that the Costa Brava is so gorgeous! The introduction was well organized and allowed for comfortably walking in the towns and learning some of the history of the area. We also were impressed with the choice of restaurant for lunch. The medieval towns were interesting and picturesque.
Peter our guide was fantastic. He was enthusiastic and friendly. His knowledge of the area was impressive. He presented a passionate and engaging history of Costa Brava, Cataluña and Spain in general.
Alistair_D, Sep 2023
Visit to Calella and Costa Brava coast on a perfect day. Very impressive guide doing a non-stop bilingual commentary, switching between Spanish and English seamlessly. Lunch was good value and authentic Catalan. The touristy hill villages were pleasant to wander through. We learnt a lot about the local history from our very knowledgeable guide.
SharonBecky_p, Jun 2023
Our trip with Marcal was fantastic.He was the most knowledgeable guide about the local history I’ve ever had!!
He was great about the pacing of the tour and willing to answer any question! This tour was a must for anyone wanting to see the Costa Bravo!!
A nod to our driver who was so courteous!!

We had a wonderful day. Every stop was unique and amazing in its own way. Alber, our guide, was a phenomenal host. He took us to an amazing restaurant for lunch in addition to leading us through the various stopping points. This tour is full of rich history, delicious food and a friendly guide.

The locations we visited were diverse and all very interesting. Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. All in all a wonderful day.

We had a great day out with Susanna and Carme visiting some stunning locations along the coast. Both are very knowledgeable, friendly and were happy to answer all our questions, including those in relation to the imminent referendum on the region's independence.
Would highly recommend this trip!
