A most excellent day with our guide Julia! - Julia was an excellent guide! She was very knowledgeable of the history and culture of the region and explained everything in interesting and humorous ways. We enjoyed the beautiful scenery as we walked along the coast and she took us to the most amazing local restaurant where we ate the most delicious local cuisine!

It is the mos beautiful little place with lots of history and game of Throne Locations. Great for walking and eating ice cream and local delicacies. We also had a walking tour with Cristian, from Macclesfield . He was just amazing and gave a great tour two hours long and showed us some beautiful places and lots of Game Of throne locations. We would definitely come back here next time.

A spectacular day with an amazing guide! - Such an incredible day! Each town was wonderful, made better by the tour guide Julia. She was so engaging from start to finish, and we learned so much from her. It's incredible that she has only been giving tours for less than a year because she seemed like an expert in many topics. She is also a wonderful photographer! Alex was a great and courteous driver.
Calella is such a beautiful beach town, and we loved seeing the ancient settlement and the more modern history. Begur was such a unique city with Caribbean influenced architecture. After that, we had lunch a great restaurant with local cuisine. Next, we visited two medieval towns Pals and Peratallada. Overall, a wonderful day full of both history and amazing views!

Great experience getting out of the city! - 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!
