5.00My sister and I joined this tour and everything was very well organized from start to finish, making it easy to relax and enjoy the experience. The combination of Girona, the Costa Brava and the food tastings was perfect, offering a great mix of culture, history, nature and local traditions. Girona is beautiful to explore, with its fascinating history and stunning architecture. The Costa Brava is equally impressive. A special mention goes to our guide, who was friendly, professional and knowledgeable. They shared so many interesting insights about Catalan culture and made everyone feel welcome throughout the day. The food tastings were another highlight. It was nice to try local products and learn more about the region through its cuisine. Every stop felt authentic and thoughtfully chosen. I also really appreciated the small-group setting, which made the experience feel more intimate and allowed plenty of opportunities to ask questions and interact with the guide. Highly recommended!

5.00What an unforgettable day! From start to finish, everything was perfect. The weather couldn't have been better, with sunshine all day and crystal-clear water that made every moment feel straight out of a postcard. A special shoutout to Richard, who was an amazing guide and made the experience even more enjoyable. The perfect summer experience and a day we'll both remember for a long time. Highly recommended!
Loved it!

5.00I usually prefer planning trips myself, but this was honestly the easiest and most stress-free day of our vacation. Everything was perfectly timed and organized, lasting all 8hours. The guide gave us enough information without overloading us, and the free time at the beach was perfect to disconnect.
Amazing experience

5.00What I loved most about this tour was how human and relaxed it felt. It wasn’t just “follow the umbrella and take photos.” The guide genuinely cared that everyone had a good time. We explored Girona, relaxed by the sea in Tossa de Mar and came back feeling like we had really experienced Catalonia. So many great things to learn!!
Amazing experience!

5.00Perfect combination of culture and beach. We explored historic Girona in the morning and later relaxed in Tossa de Mar on the Costa Brava. The paella lunch was delicious, but I also appreciated that some people brought sandwiches and enjoyed a picnic by the sea during the free time. Such a flexible and enjoyable tour.
Amazing tour!!!

5.00I was looking for a more authentic and relaxed Costa Brava experience and this tour exceeded expectations. The private mini van with only 8 guests felt very exclusive. Girona was full of history and charm, while Tossa de Mar was the perfect place to disconnect and enjoy the Mediterranean atmosphere.
Great experience

5.00This tour was one of the highlights of our trip to Barcelona. Visiting both Girona and the stunning Costa Brava town of Tossa de Mar in one day was absolutely worth it. The views were incredible and the guide made the whole experience feel personal and relaxed. We loved having free time by the beach too!

5.00We brought our own sandwiches and had lunch at the beach while others ordered paella, and honestly I loved that flexibility. It didn’t feel touristy at all. Just a really enjoyable day exploring beautiful places with great company.
