First visit to Barcelona- small group tour to Girona - Dani was an exceptional tour guide. His knowledge of history was amazing. I was captivated by his stories and learned so many interesting things about Catalonia, Barcelona, Girona, France, and the conflicts between all of them. I will definitely recommend Dani to all my family and friends!

Best trip ever ! - If you are looking for an EXPERIENCE this is it ! First our guide Fabrizio was amazing ! He definitely made the trip! He was very personable and made sure we were well taken care of. The trip to Girona and Collioure were smooth in a comfortable van. We got to explore and take some really nice photos in both places. Lunch in Collioure was TOP TIER. Everything about this experience was perfect. I can honestly say this was the highlight of my trip to Spain. If you do not book this tour you will definitely be missing out !

Recommended! - Our experience with guide Antoine was spectacular. We loved both places, Girona and Collioure, they are beautiful. The length of the tour is also ideal for spending the day outside the city and then enjoying the night back in Barcelona. I recommend it!

Last minute cancellation with very little said. Day wasted. - We were booked on this for a 830am start. We got an email at 11pm the night before (we had gone to bed early to prepare for this - a 6am start). The email said a group of 6 had withdrawn and now the tour did not meet the minimum number (for my group of 4) to proceed. Nothing else was said. Thankfully I woke up at 230am and saw this but it was too late to plan anything else. If there was a 24hour cancellation requirement on customers, surely the tour operator would also be required to do the same, or if there was a penalty imposed, then the tour should have proceeded. We are obviously tourists here and dependent on the tour operators to do the same.
