Costa Brava is amazing! - Our guide, Ventura, was awesome! He was on time, knowledgeable, fluent in English, and accommodated all of our requests. The cities that we visited on the tour were all interesting, beautiful, and unique. It is well worth getting out of Barcelona for a day and exploring Costa Brava. Great job, Ventura!

Epic Costa Brava. - Really enjoyed Geronda, Pal and Calella. All three were beautiful but totally different from one another. Also, Ventura made trip pleasant and adjusted as we went along to meet our requests.

A wonderful day trip! - What a great day along the coast! We started the day in Girona, where we were shown the most iconic spots, with lots of historical information given to us by our guide. Then we went to Pals, a village with historical architecture. We ended the day with dinner right on the coast of Calella de Palafrugell, thanks to a reservation made by our guide, Ventura. He was very conversational, funny, and knew lots about the area. We had a great time thanks to him!

Amazing tour - Miquel was an outstanding tour guide; he was knowledgeable, funny and very attentive to our group. The visits to Girona and Pals were incredible and lunch in Calella facing the beach was fantastic! Very pleased with the experience and, if ever back in Barcelona, will definitely want to book a tour with Miquel!

VIP with Ventura - I had the most phenomenal private tour of Costa bravo with Ventura. He picked us up in Barcelona and we made our way up the Costa Brava. Our first stop was a Pritzker architectural award winning winery. Then we were on to the town of Port Lligat to view Dali‘s home by the sea. What a joy to see where he created such great art. As we headed back down the Costa Brava towards Barcelona, we stopped at the most magnificent gardens, Jardi Botanic de Cap Roig. Ventura filled our days with expert knowledge, laughter, and adventure.
