Girona & Costa Brava Don't Leave Barcelona Until You Vist Them - Anatoli was our guide he was friendly and knowledgeable. The pick up and return to your accommodation was appreciated, we travelled in a van (8 pax plus the guide) there was plenty of room. A group lunch was booked in the Tuscany like town of Pals (own cost) it was actually a highlight, and the Sangria was the best I have had during my travels in Spain! The participants made the tour even more special, a great bunch that added to the memories of the day.. Don't leave Spain until you have seen Costa Brava, Pals and Girona you won't be disappointed!

Better than the rating - This was really a 5 star rating, but the weather was miserable all day. The beach towns would've been nice, but they were like ghosttowns with the cool temps and rain. But their beauty was abundant. The highlight was Girona. The old town has a history to tell, past and present. Many scenes from GOT were shot there. Gaspar made miserable weather bearable with interesting dialogs and facts. This is a must see

Good area.. ripoff restaurant recommendations - The guide had enthusiasm but had very heavy accent and very undecisive. He sent us to a restaurant called Can Palet where the food price was 28 euro with 2 person min reqt. So me and unknown person in group combined as we thought it may be big order and we just need to pay 14 each. We later realized that it was 28 p/p ie 56 Euro and the food was really below avg. Hence avoid any restaurant recommendations by them (collusion?) and some smart folks in group knew it and excused going to restaurants by saying they had allergy and went to cheaper restaurant. The tour itself is nice, not good as montserrat but undertable price due to girona (game of thrones) and costa Bravia (Beach like California 17 mile drive areas)

Sites were beautiful, just don't buy with this company. - Tour guide Mario was a disaster, he changed the time of pick up and then came 30 minutes late. He set a meeting point and was 15 minutes late seen kissing on some woman. He told one member of the group he was hungover from the night before. He pulled over to use the restroom for himself. He gave misinformation on the facts of the Jewish quarter. He stated he made more money playing guitar on the street than being a tour guide. His driving was questionable. He stated that he had been homeless 4 months earlier. Yikes what a day.
