Worth your time - This was my first hike- thinking it would be a fun thing to do -- this was a very strenuous hike for the non experienced - but it was totally worth it! Beautiful scenery, beautiful beaches and the meal was a plus -- the best part was our tour guide - he helped me when the climbing was scary and he always made sure I was doing good - HE WAS FANTISTIC!

Beautiful views and tasty food! - This was a great way to see a different part of Barcelona. We got a good workout in and got to see some breathtaking views. It was an amazing experience. Stepan provided evenly spaced bathroom breaks, hiking breaks, food recommendations, and gave us tips when snorkeling.

Costa Brava June 2024 - The views were breathtaking and the beaches were some of the best I’ve ever seen, but what had the biggest lasting impact on my girlfriend and I was our guide, Stepan. He constantly went above and beyond, whether it was explaining an obscure fun fact about something along the trail, telling us about the history of the region, his efforts during the snorkeling session, or dropping us off close to our hotel at the end of the day. These things, among others, really went a long way in making the trip an experience we will never forget!

A fantastic tour with a brilliant guide - Definitely a tour worth experiencing. The whole hike was accessible, fun and very rewarding with the views that it provided. Getting the opportunity to have a swim on such good beaches was a real highlight as well. Our guide Foivos was excellent. He was very knowledgeable about the hike and the areas that we visited and their history and very helpful and friendly. Definitely would recommend this tour.

Hike beautiful Costa Brava - This day trip to Costa Brava was one of the highlights of our recent visit to Spain. Our guide, Stepan, was so kind, careful and knowledgeable. The scenery on the hike is breathtaking and we had a delicious lunch in Tossa de Mar. My daughter and I very much enjoyed getting to know the other hikers in our small group- it was a lively and diverse bunch and so much fun!
