Beautiful Andorra

5.00Excellent driver Miguel, and excellent guide Enrique. Although there was not much time in Andorra (1 hour and 1/2) and we did not get to see the old part, all the stops on the tour were definitely worth it. Moreover, the journey to get there is a pleasure in itself.
Amazing 😊

The deception tour.

2.00This tour is a deception. They offer 8 hours of tour and schedule you at the Cervantes station at 8 am. The guide arrived at 8:20 am, and we left at 8:30 am, and they left me again at the station near Barceloneta at 1:30 pm. What happened to the missing time?? I didn't want to ask anything to avoid hearing ridiculous excuses. Not recommendable at all!!!
Learn and listen

5.00Our tour guide Blanca was very kind and knowledgeable. She was where all the messages said she would be and that was great. The area we went to was so beautiful and calm. Thank you. A little longer of a tour would be great. So you could do your prayers and reflection and have time for view hike or a chunk of time in the museum. Thanks again
History, Religion, art and breathtaking views

5.00This was a very interesting and informative trip. Blanca, our tour guide, shared a lot of information regarding Montserrat and the history of the area. We did wish that the duration of the tour was longer as we didn't have time to visit the art museum. Highly recommend.
An unforgettable walk

5.00I have to say, Enrique is very good at introducing everything. Not only the sightseeing, city, building, but also food. Sebastian drives safely, let us feel leisure to watch the view outside the bus. This is really an amazing country side view. We really enjoy this one day trip. 給說中文的遊客： 這個tour可以用輕鬆的方式參觀巴塞隆納近郊的兩個小鎮，車程最多兩個小時便會讓乘客下去走走活動筋骨跟上廁所，領隊Enrique的英文導覽輕鬆又有內容，4月的view非常得好，蠻推薦當作一個一日遊的好選項
Very Satisfied

5.00Alex(driver) and Blanca make a good team. We felt safe at all times, the tour could be improved with adding one more hour so we don’t feel rushed to get back to the transport
