The best of the past all in one trip - Xavi was full of stories and history about all the locations, we enjoyed learning all about each one! This tour was both educational and fun and we recommend the visit for anyone interested in Spanish history.

Great day out of Barcelona! - Xavi could not have been more attentive or helpful. His knowledge of the area visited made a long day very interesting. A great choice of contrasting villages with just the right amount of free time at each. His lunch suggestion was perfect with authentic regional dishes.

**Highly Recommended Tour!** - I booked this tour for me and my partner, and we both had a fantastic time. Xavi, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable and friendly. One of the highlights was stopping for lunch at Santa Pau, where we dined at a local restaurant. This is a must-do! The food was delicious, and both Ruth and Martha were incredibly hospitable. This has been the best tour I’ve ever booked. 10 out of 10!

Escape the City Crowds and Explore the Gorgeous Countryside - We had an amazing day trip with Xavier. We ended up being the only 2 to have booked that day, so having a personal tour guide was an absolute pleasure. Born and raised in Barcelona, Xavier’s passion for telling the history of the area, culture, architecture, etc was appreciated throughout the day. He went above and beyond to answer our questions and provide recommendations. The pace of the tour was perfect, allowing enough time in each location for learning, free time, and refreshments as needed. Highly recommended as a way to get outside of the city and explore the beautiful countryside, away from the crowds. Thank you once again Xavier for such a memorable experience!

Best guide ever - We’ve been traveling for weeks on a transatlantic cruise then a back to back, we did a lot of excursions and tours. This was hands down the best. Our guide Xavi was the most knowledgeable and experienced guide we’ve had. We were very happy with the experience. We will be booking again.

A beautiful day in well preserved medieval villages of Catalonia . - Xavier our guide, was passionate about Catalonia and it’s fascinating history and gave us a nice overview of the architectural styles we saw in the three medieval villages we visited. The many well preserved buildings were the stars ranging through the centuries from Roman to Rococo . Our fellow travelers turned out to be a lot of fun and were quite entertaining along a beautiful drive along the foothills of the Pyrenees. A very informative and fun trip, enhanced by our guide Xavier!

A spectacular trip - Xavier, our tour guide, made this trip exceptional for us. His knowledge of the culture and history of the medieval cities we visited and his professionalism and dedication exceeded our expectations. I would highly recommend him for your next tour. The tour itinerary was amazing. Along the way we were able to see the beautiful landscape of Catalonia and the magnificent cities of Santa Pau, Vic and Besalú. Santa Pau literally makes you feel like you're going back in time as you walk through its streets and meet the people who live there (we had a great lunch there with some locals) I really recommend this tour
