We just finished a wonderful day tour with Pablo. He was an excellent tour guide - knowledgable, interesting & fun. The guided tour of Girona Pals and Costa Brava were great and included some free time as well. The sights were amazing. We enjoyed a lovely seaside lunch with new friends from the tour. It was a great day and Pablo is an exceptional tour guide!

I had a very hard time understanding our guide. English was not his first language and I don’t understand Spanish. I am also hard of hearing. Most of what he said I didn’t understand. He was very nice though.

Highly recommend, A +

Great tour starting around 9 AM to 6 PM.
Our guide Pablo was amazing. He gave a lot of information during all the day. He took time to find the best restaurant related on what each of us wanted to eat for lunch.
At the end of the tour he took time to meet each of us to recommend what we should not miss before leaving Barcelona. We appreciated our tour.

What to expect
As you leave Barcelona, your private day trip heads first to Girona, a city with a long history, believed to be founded around 76 BC. The river Onyar neatly divides the city in two, separating the old town from the new. The city has a rich architectural heritage, and you’ll see evidence of this in the 11th-century cathedral and the Roman walls, which you can stroll along. Or wander the narrow streets of the old town, soaking up the historical atmosphere.
From Girona, continue to the Santuari dels Angels, a panoramic spot offering scenic views of the whole Girona region. It’s a place even a world-famous artist thought was beautiful – Salvador Dali chose it for his wedding. From here you will make your way to Pals, a small medieval city built around its fortress. Stop here for a Mediterranean lunch (own expense) before you head to the fishing village of Calella de Palafrugell.
In Calella de Palafrugell, a coastal town of whitewashed houses, you'll have time to explore the rocky coastline or perhaps take a dip in the inviting waters.
This private tour of Girona is hosted by a professional guide. Please list any special interests you have (art, architecture, history, culture) at the time of booking to alert your guide, who will then prepare for your private tour.
