Girona and Costa Brava Small Group Tour from Barcelona

I appreciated how through the guide was and showed all locations described in the summary of the tour. Sergio even went above and beyond by pointing out Game if Throne filming locations which was appreciated.

A great way to spend a Sunday in November . Really enjoyed this tour and the guide was well versed on the historical facts.

Tour to Girona & Costa Brava - Pals was quaint & lovely, 20-30 minutes was enough. We visited the town during the off-season, so the village was a bit dead. There wasn’t the liveliness of open shops and people milling about - The beach town along the Costa Brava was gorgeous. Lovely paths for walking. I Wish we had stayed here the rest of the day The drive from the beach town to Girona is about 1 hour. And the drive back to Barcelona is about 2 hours because of traffic - Girona - the historic center was beautiful. But again 20-30 minutes would have been enough to take the photos of the Game of Thrones filming locations, instead of the 90 minutes we spent there. Also, there are some German gardens in Girona that were recommended. They are really not worth visiting. They aren’t gardens. They are the ruins of what once was a garden. Not beautiful. - I would have preferred to stay more time in Costa Brava - Note for tour: Enrique played a playlist 90% of which had nothing to do with Barcelona or Spain. (Artists included Massive Attack.) It would be nice to hear a Spanish music playlist to keep the tour focused on Spain. This is what other tour operators have done. - Enrique spent a lot of time talking about his bar businesses in Barcelona & Mexico. While it was somewhat interesting to hear about Enrique’s bar businesses, I would have liked him to tell us more about the old villages we were visiting. Did we miss any stories or legends because he was telling us about his bar businesses? - He also told me that he really did not like living in Mexico and that everyone in Guanajuato, Mexico was terrible. He told me this right after I had told me that my mother was from there and that I still had family there. Is it acceptable to insult the family of your clients? - COVID mask Safety. At no point during the all day car trips did Enrique wear a mask that covered both his nose and mouth. He wore a mask that was loosely hanging in front of his mouth. So the mask he used had no safety effect at all. I would have preferred that Enrique announce that he was fully vaccinated and would not be using the mask so that people in the car could hear him speak. (to be clear I do not know if Enrique is vaccinated.) - Note for tour: I would choose to visit either Pals or Girona, not both. You basically spend too much time driving in the car. If I had to choose, I would choose Girona.

Really enjoyable tour! We hit Calella de Palafrugell last and we wish we knew that we should’ve made a reservation if we wanted paella. Food we ended up ordering was amazing though. Definitely wear good walking shoes and dress in layers if you go in october. Views were INCREDIBLE!! Girona and Pals were both amazing as well.

Sergio was a wonderful guide, full of local and historical knowledge to accentuate the journey and experience. I love medieval and Roman history (and also am a GOT fan) and Girona and Pals were picture perfect snapshots into the periods. Finish the day with a trip to the coast and the picturesque whitewashed seaside village. Great trip and highly recommended.

We were 6 people in this tour and had a great experience. Plenty of time to take a swim and have a great meal and explore interesting places. I was interested in Girona because of Game of Thrones so I saw the different filming locations but you may not have enough time to see all else that is in Girona (big city) so I would recommend taking another tour specific for this city but don't get me wrong, I think the timing of the tour is well balanced.

The places we visited were all beautiful places. I would recommend to visit. I liked very much all of them, particularly Pal. The bus was very small and crowded, this is what I liked less.

This was amazing and easygoing trip and I would recommend it to everyone. Rod was perfect guide, really nice and knowledgeable. I was with my mum and she has issues with legs but we were not in hurry so she did not have any problem to walk with group. Group was really small, just 6 people. Girona and Pals were beautiful cities and we had also enaugh time to swim in sea on one of Costa Brava beaches. It was wonderfully spent day!

Love this excursion! Costa Brava is amazing, they have us enough time to be able to swim and have a good lunch, then we drove to Pals, the to Girona. Overall amazing trip. The driver and guide, Enrique, is very funny, such an awesome guide, very knowledgeable and friendly.

A fun day trip from Barcelona. Our tour guide, Sergio, did a great job and was friendly and knowledgeable! We made friends on the excursion and really enjoyed our time!
