Great day - Great tour with good guides. We enjoyed visiting each place of interest. Plenty of toilet breaks provided. Bring some snacks or buy some at the first stop as it is a late lunch at 2:30pm in Girona. I would have liked to be able to spend a little more time at each place, but it is not possible with a big tour group and fitting in each place in one day. Nonetheless, it's great to be able to see each town. I would recommend this tour!

Montserrat, Girona and Costa Brava. - We were collected this morning for a day of amazing surprises! From 8.15am when we met Lucas and Carlos, our guides for the day, it started with a 10 and finished with a 10. Their knowledge and history of each place we went to was exceptional, it wasn’t just a quick explanation it was in detail plus more. They gave us descriptions in the bus what to expect at each place. I could not recommend them an highly 10/10

Hiccups with the pick-up, guide was fantastic. - Jimena is very understanding of my parent’s inability to walk that fast. Provided with suggestions to let him rest along the way. Itinerary is sufficient and flexible. She’s probably the best guide we have met so far in our Barcelona/Portugal trip. Though there were some hiccups regarding pick-up as the tour agency changed meeting point without updating us, and we had to take a taxi to the new location, costing us another 7€. The bus is comfortable with charging ports. Driver drove safely.

Wasn’t What I Expected - Our tour was a fast pace, sometimes hard to understand the accent and hear the guides from their spot, and for a few in our group, was hard to keep up with the large amounts of walking. It was a scenic and breathtaking trip in a comfortable bus and both guides were courteous to us. However, it was less than I expected for a heartfelt experience, plus a lunch which we opted to take thinking it would be better than finding a restaurant on our own, but we walked 40 minutes to and from to meet the bus, which would have been a nice time to tour Girona casually on our free time. Overall, the convenience of seeing these wonderful Spanish landmarks on a day trip was exciting and enjoyable.
