Manu was fantastic - Jewish moms perspective with a 10.5 yo - My daughter 10.5 and I went on this trip yesterday. Our group was so lovely and our tour guide Manu was so positive and great. All three towns and the picturesque stop were fabulous. Vic was cold so dress warm. Any town in the morning starts off colder than Barcelona and then by your second stop you don’t need to layer abd we sat outside for lunch comfortably. He had a restaurant he loved for paella that was closed for the holiday but we had great fish, ice cream, some paella, veggies and fruit at the buffet before bisalu and all drinks were included including sangria and my daughter sat with two lovely women in their 20s who were fantastic with her. Manu didn’t pressure anyone to eat in the same place and just wanted us to be happy. We are Jewish so seeing the mikvah was really important to us so we walked up the back end and could see through the window the oldest mikvah preserved from the 400s. You could spend all day walking through the streets of besalu. The Jewish preservations were smaller there than girona but there is one narrow street and preserved house abd some remains from the synagogue. After seeing the mikvah and his summary of how that defines a neighborhood helped clench my daughters appreciation for our history. The second medieval town was out of a story book too Paso?!?! The van was very comfortable and we had such a great day. We could have spent another hour just taking in everything but the trip itself did not move too fast .. we felt like we enjoyed it all. It’s just everything you see is so amazing. You can see the Pyrenese from a distance. We did girona the day prior on our own via train which was a nice intro before seeing Besalú as well. The churches in Vic are stunning. The churches in besalu were not reconstructed from the earlier erra to the same extent and were amazing as you can appreciate their simplicity and the ways they were constructed.

Best trip ever - Our guide, Manu, is very knowledgeable and humorous. The whole trip was fun and smooth. Even I traveled alone, but I felt like traveling with a family. He made everyone in the group so welcoming. I loved everything about this tour and will definitely join again when I am in Barcelona.

Awesome tour - Please for your best time in Barcelona.. beat the crowds head out to 3 amazing medieval villages and countryside with this tour. Our guide Miquel made sure everything was comfortably timed to enjoy everywhere went. Ending the day with an incredible meal at the beach in the most amazing village. It reminded me of Santorini, Capri, and Cinque terre... this is called Calella de Palafrugell. Sincerely The Emmons
