Really fantastic tour of Besalu, Girona and Pals. The medieval towns are each charming and beautiful to see. The tour was filled with interesting history of each town. Our guide was excellent, and the lunch was delicious in a delicious local restaurant. It was a great day!

Feliciano was a wonderful guide, he took us to Besalú first, charming old town. We told him we had been to Girona the same day we went to the Dalà Museum. He didnt want us to see the same town twice, so he took us to Tossa. The old town was great and found out that Ava Gardner made the movie Pandora in 1950 in that town.
Then we had a wonderful lunch in town.

What a fabulous day we had with Miguel. His commentary was thorough and insightful. We enjoyed each of the towns that we visited, as well as the rides in between towns. The local luncheon is something that we will remember forever. I highly recommend this tour as a way to see Eastern Spain outside of Barcelona. Hats off!

Feliciano was a great tour guide.
Knew history and current events and was able to meld them together into a compelling story. Without him it would have been just looking at some old stuff.

Our tour guide was Feliciano. He was very charming, punctual, professional and a pleasure to be around. He was always explaining the history, social fabric and hidden wonders of these beautiful towns. Our tour was in early April and the weather was perfect at 20 degrees Celsius. The canola fields were all in flower and together with the olive tree plantations and diverse natural vegetation the drive was all the more enchanting to these breathtaking towns. Lunch was delicious and authentic. This was my favourite tour taken in Barcelona.

Feliciano spoiled us! The meeting point was easily located. The towns we visited were unique among themselves. Feliciano is one of the best guides I have had the pleasure to travel with. His knowledge base about Spainish history is profound. Architecture, art, music , literature and an accurate timeline come easily to him. In addition he discusses current social and political issues and their impact on communities in and around Spain. He is entertaining, has a great sense of humor and certainly is concerned about the welfare of his clients. The locations were lovely and full of history. Your camera will not get a rest! Lunch was delicious with large variety of choices, great service and incredible flavor! The drive was beautiful with the snow covered peaks of the Pyrenees in May.
I would definitely recommend this trip to see the Northern most part of the country and enjoy a different pace from the city.
