A cool experience from a cool dude! - A surprise trip for my wife. She was told when we arrived.
Met at the meeting point with Antoine as our tour guide. What better than to have a Frenchman that will show us his home country that also speaks Spanish and English. He was prompt on time and his van was new, clean, and the a/c worked great.
He was very knowledgeable and engaging. He was passionate on showing us the different locations.
We connected very well.
France was a blast and Girona was awesome. We didn’t want to leave either place.
I suggest this trip and hopefully you get Antoine as well.

A must-do activity if you’re in Barcelona 🩷 - Carlos, the tour guide, was very patient and very personable—he made the experience fabulous! I honestly can’t recommend this enough. If you go during the summer bring a swimsuit for the France portion of the tour—the water is beautiful!!

2 Countries in 1 day. - Carlos our guide was so warm and professional. He knew everything about Giona and the South of France. I would recommend this tour to any visitor. Giona looked Game of Thrones. South of France had beautiful beaches, and excellent Mediterranean food. Sea good was devine. I ate the peach and crossiant for dinner. Thank to Carlos for a beautiful memory.

Wonderful day with a wonderful guide. - Aldo was a fantastic guide! He was so interesting and funny! He answered all of my son’s curious and sometimes silly questions that a 16 year old boy would ask. Girona was nice and the coffee stop with local treat was delicious. The highlight of the day was Collioure. It was so beautiful and we got to spend three hours there. There is a lovely rocky beach to swim, so bring a suit and towel. The town was buzzing with French and Spanish tourists but it wasn’t crowded. It was nice to get away from Barcelona to see the countryside. I highly recommend this tour with Aldo, he’s a great guide!

It was okay. - I was hoping to be able to go to France also which is why I booked the tour. To my delight a few days before In received a text message saying because the tour didn’t meet minimum requirements that I could join a similar tour at the same time, meeting location and day. I accepted thinking we would still leave Spain and visit a part of France as well. We didn’t, although the tour wasn’t what I expected the experience was good and the sights were photographic. The guide was knowledgeable as well. I wish I would have gotten a chance to go on the tour I originally booked.
