A day trip to Girrona and other small villages by the sea was a great addition to touring from the city of Barcelona. Put on your walking shoes, as you go through inclines and narrow cobble stone streets in settings from Game of Thrones in Girona….take the time to rest and have coffee before meeting your guide again to continue. The next stop is Pals….a Medieval village well preserved where you get the vibes of the time….again lots of walking with inclines but fabulous views….. Following this was costa brava….sooooo relaxing and inviting ….small coves of beaches to just relax and watch young children at play in the rocky formations…we even saw a bride and groom photographing for their wedding as we watched from an excellent restaurant having lunch.

It visits 3 interesting towns and they were worthwhile. Guide was not that engaging and there was quite a bit of driving with little Information Given during the drive.

It was a great escape from the craziness of the city. Our guide Nuri made it a fantastic experience. She was very informative and was able to guide us through an amazing journey. She gave us inside about all the historic places we saw. She was very professional and everything was organized really well. We really enjoyed this tour!!

We were able to see so many beautiful little towns off the beaten path. Excellent tour guide and just enough time at each stop.

Tour Guide was Great!! Our 1st time in Europe..August=Hot +A TON of steps in this excursion, ramps, hills, uneven surfaces. Bring water with you!!! I would have stayed in Costa Brava x 6 hours if I could. Perfect water temp. Bars/restaurants close.

We spent the day exploring Catalunya on an incredible tour! It was amazing to hear and feel the rich history all around us — and so cool to see a Game of Thrones filming location in real life. Huge thanks to our guide, Rod, whose animated and immersive storytelling made the experience unforgettable!

Rod was our guide and he truly made the trip our best excursion during our time in Spain. We leaved so much about Girona and costa brava and Rod was so knowledgeable about everything and answered all our questions. Would highly recommend this trip to anyone who wants to learn and see history as well as have some time to relax on the beach in costa brava.
