Great full day tour! - Our family of 4 (two kids 7 & 9) really enjoyed this tour! Andre's vehicle was very clean. He provided great spots to stop for coffee/snack and lunch. Andre was extremely informative and had in-depth knowledge of almost every topic! Although we enjoyed all three areas, both areas in Costa Brava were absolutely incredible!
I recommend this tour for anyone that enjoys
-history
-beautiful and historic buildings
-beach towns and the beach!

History and beauty! - Learned so much on a tour with Andre, he is full of knowledge and had so much to share about local and broader European history, putting the sights and beautiful towns in context. Spent a lot of time in Girona, some time walking Pals (as well as delicious local rice-based lunch there) and a quick stop to see the beauty of Calella de Palafrugell. Didn't feel rushed and Andre was also great about offering to take family pics with his professional eye which was a nice bonus as we don't often get pics of all of us while traveling.

Excellent experience of the Catalonia countryside - This was a fantastic day trip from busy Barcelona into the Catalonia countryside. The trip was paced just right, unlike others which seemed to try to pack too much into one day. Historic Girona, the upscale agrarian village of Pals and the seaside town of Palafrugell on the costa brava coastline were all beautiful in different ways. Andre our guide was very friendly and well informed and took great care of us — in fact his astonishing knowledge of European history was unlike any other guide we’ve had and made for some very interesting conversations. An very memorable and satisfying addition to a trip to Barcelona
