Two countries - one day! Super cool tour! - Loved the trip! Fabrizio was very cool, into details, gave lots of fun facts and history. It was unique as tour covered France where we dived into insanely beautiful fisherman village - that is honestly one whole art place. We walked, shopped there, had lunch of fresh sea food. Group was so cool, we got along and really had fun during trip. Big thanks to Fabrizio and whoever designed this tour! Absolutely recommended 👌

Unforgettable Experience - A ONCE-IN-A-LIFETIME-JOURNEY thru Girona, Spain and Collioure, France. With Papa Bear as our tour guide, we traversed across the miles and pulled into his intricate web of attention to details, knowledge and oh yes, highlighting locations were some scenes of the Game of Thrones were filmed. This tour was definitely an experience; unexpected. Each step led us through paths back into time, several centuries ago thus reliving life as it was back then but first, the scenic & idyllic drive through the countryside and over/through the Pyrenees mountains which forms a natural border between Spain & France.
The drive to Girona, Spain from Barcelona -was little over an hour. Upon arrival into Girona, Papa Bear took us on an exploration of the old town's medieval charm-winding alleys and ancient walls where details came alive via his narration. His expert knowledge of the city's multi-faceted history explores the Jewish heritage, Roman roots and cinematic secrets. Each of the details shared w/us was rich and pulled us into a web of exceptional storytelling.
The Pyrenees served as a backdrop of some of a magical painting that came alive as we got closer to Collioure, France. There were several paintings of this picturesque backdrop by vendors lining the shoreline when we arrived in Collioure. The luminance of the coast brightness and vibrant hues alongside the sea were on full display - I felt as though I was a subject in one of the paintings. You could not missed by this place was an inspiration for artist, past and present-Simply breathtaking.
I started my journey at the Château Royal de Collioure.. Learned that all museums are free the 1st Sun of every month in France. There were many artist, vendors in the Château with a variety of antiques from by gone eras - a peek into by-gone eras that filled grandiose households - rich with history.
Don't forget the Chapel on the hill/rocks overlooking the town w/a Crucifix of Jesus behind it overlooking the sea... nor the long jetty extending to the lighthouse...
Don't miss this tour- it was a immersion into what was plus a secret seaside town's calming peace for locals and vacationers alike. I left with a heart full of gratitude and memories I will take with me forever.

Amazing tour to Girona and Collioure! - Our tour to Girona, Spain, and Collioure, France, was incredible! Our driver and guide, Ivan, was amazing, knowledgeable, kind, and patient. My family and I joined another couple, and the group was great. The drives of about 1.5–2 hours flew by thanks to Ivan’s stories and insights. We learned so much about Girona’s history and culture, and despite the rain in France, we still enjoyed great food, shops, and scenery. Ivan made this experience unforgettable, and I’d highly recommend the tour, especially if he’s your guide!

We were lucky enough to be... - We were lucky enough to be only three people so it was practically a private excursion. But regardless of that, the best thing was our guide Antoine. Very attentive to the needs of each, explained everything in two languages and with great knowledge of the places visited, which both Girona and Colliure loved. We also ate very well in Colliure.
At the end of the day Antoine had the deference to approach our respective hotels. A nice excursion that I absolutely recommend and hopefully you are lucky enough to have a guide as good as Antoine.

Great experience! - I had a fantastic time on this tour! Our guide, Maltide, was absolutely wonderful – friendly, personable, and full of great energy. She was so easy to talk to and made everyone feel comfortable right away. I especially appreciated her thoughtful recommendations and insights at each stop.
The tour itself was perfectly paced, with just the right amount of time spent in each location. Everything felt well-organized without being rushed. The van was clean and comfortable, and I felt completely safe throughout the entire experience.
Highly recommend – especially with Maltide as your guide!
