A can’t miss opportunity - The tour delivered everything promised and more. Our tour guide, Gaspar, was informative and entertaining and delivered at each stop to maximize the experience. His time management was superb and he chose just the right views so we could get those once in a lifetime pictures that will evoke what we were feeling at the moment each time we recount to our friends and families our adventure to these medieval towns. The free time we had allowed us to explore further what each town had to offer whether it was to take more pictures or just to wander and soak up the atmosphere of what it must have been like to live in those times. I highly recommend this choice in tours, especially with Gaspar.

Great tour! - Miquel was a great tour guide. Very friendly and accommodating. We really enjoyed seeing the medieval towns. Our tour had 4 people from Argentina that did not speak English and the 4 of us do not speak Spanish so the only recommendation I would give is to keep the tour all in one language. Miquel did a great job of telling us about the towns but it was distracting trying to figure out when we should listen.

A real insight into country life in Catalonia. - Our host Xavier was so well informed with information and facts about all the towns we visited. Nothing was a problem and we were never rushed to move to the next town.

What a beautiful castle - This was so cool to be able to walk inside this castle. See the church, the gate, the views. Very cool to see. In the church you can see graves of bishops and priests on the floor of the church. Amazing

Medieval towns tour - Fantastico, everything was just wow. The medieval towns were amazing, around each corner was another wow moment. Xavier our lovely guide/driverwas so knowledgeable and friendly 5/5, making the tour feel very personal and comfortable. It was our 35th wedding anniversary that day and we couldn't think of a better way to spend it while in Spain. It certainly was the highlight. ✨

A lively tour of nearby towns to Barcelona - Miguel is a very lively guide. He speaks very good english and keeps the tempo of the trip very exciting and on schedule despite our slow legs. He pointed out the highlights of the trip. He brought us to the places and mentioned all the important facts without any frills. In such a short time, we were able to learn about nearby Besalu and other Midieval towns which only needed a 1 hour drive from Barcelona. This is the guy you want if you want to see and learn about a place in this part of the country

Disappointing - The tour only took in Besalú and one other town not 3 other towns. You should get the tour you pay for.
