A majestic waterfall, measuring some 360 feet (120 meters) high, is sure to be a highlight of your hike; have your camera ready to capture the sight of the cascading water, flanked by cliff and valley views. Finish your walk at a centuries-old restaurant, where a 3-course Catalan feast awaits. Dig in to plates such as pork sausage with white beans, and then relax on your journey back to Barcelona.

A Hiking we will go! - My husband actually booked this excursion. I read previous reviews and it sounded like a nice way to get out of Barcelona and see the countryside. Antoine is an excellent guide and we had a great time hiking up and down and up and down on rocky paths, stairs, steps, across streams etc. as he pointed out trees, plants, views and whatever else we needed to know about along the way. I will say this is most definitely a HIKE and I would not recommend it unless you are prepared be climbing on uneven terrain with obstacles. My husband and I are 67 years old we did this however were challenged at times. The scenery along the way is beautiful and being on top of a mountain is quite an amazing experience. We had a very nice breakfast before our hike and a very filling lunch afterwards. We thank you, Antoine for a wonderful day with you!

What a treat!!! Simply Outstanding! - This is the highlight of our Barcelona stay. Having been here before twice, we decided to get out of the hustle and bustle city and what a pleaant surprise for us. Mariela, our guide, is just amazing. She's so knowledgeable with a passion for this trip. The hike was so amazing and we have shifted some serious calories 😅. The views were just out of this world. We finished our tour with the most scrumptious 3 course Catalunya food with good wine and liquor. Thank you Mariela for making this such a memorable day for us xx

Craig our guide was awesome, he obviously loves his job and is very knowledgable about the areas. Views were stunning and the lunch at the end in Rupit just topped off a really fun day. Would highly recommend this tour.

Village and hike exceeded our expectations - My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our hike with guides Mariela and Sam. We discussed the history of the area from the days of Franco to the present and learned much about Catalunya during our van ride. The village was lovely, breakfast and lunch were delicious and we loved learning about and tasting the traditional foods, and the hike was really nice with absolutely gorgeous views. It was a pleasure to spend the day with our guides, who by the end of the day felt like friends to us.

Great day exploring the Pyrenees Village and local food. - Our recent tour of the Pyrenees with Dan as our guide was nothing short of exceptional. Dan's enthusiasm, knowledge, and passion for the region were evident from the very beginning. He expertly guided us through the charming Pyrenees Village, sharing fascinating historical insights and anecdotes along the way. The hiking trails were breathtaking, offering stunning views of the surrounding mountains and countryside.
Dan's attention to detail was truly remarkable. He ensured we had a taste of the local cuisine, introducing us to authentic and delicious dishes. He also went above and beyond, taking captivating pictures of us throughout the day, capturing the essence of our unforgettable experience.
Dan's friendly demeanour and warm personality made us feel instantly welcomed and at ease. He was always eager to answer our questions and share his insights about the region. His passion for the Pyrenees was contagious, and he inspired us to appreciate the beauty and cultural richness of this remarkable area.
Overall, our tour with Dan was an absolute highlight of our trip to Spain. He is a true gem of a guide, and we highly recommend his services to anyone seeking an authentic and memorable experience in the Pyrenees.
