Exceed Expectations!!! - Gerard was amazing! It unexpectedly rained on the day so he adjusted the trip and went above and beyond! Car was very comfortable and he's extremely knowledgeable (can even speak 7 languages!). He took lovely photos for us throughout the trip and even wrote us a list of experiences we must do and places we must eat whilst in Barcelona (and sharing some we shouldn't). After the trip had ended he even said to not hesitate to message him if we needed help with anything else whilst we are in this city. Thanks Gerard for being the highlight of our trip!

It's like being shown around by a friend - If you're not into touristy type tours with strict schedules but would like to learn about the places you are going then I would recommend BCN Hidden Tours. Gerard is super easy going and very open so it was more like a Spanish friend showing us around his home town than a tour guide. He was very knowledgeable and shared interesting bits and pieces of information as they came up naturally as well as the basics of the history of Costa Brava. We stopped at a great place for lunch. We ate while Gerard went off for a while to do his own thing. If I did another tour with BCN I think I'd like one with more walking next time. This one's pretty easy going which I'm sure is perfect for most though.

A beautiful day - We had a fantastic day with our host seeing the wonderful sights of Costa brava. We learnt a lot about the history that we would otherwise never have known. We stopped for a beautiful lunch. It was a very personalised experience and felt more like being shown around by a friend with deep local knowledge than being on a “tour”. Great day!

Wonderful day - We spent a Sunday with Gerard driving up the Costa Brava. We walked through three small coastal villages and then had a lovely lunch at a restaurant at the top of the hills. The weather was perfect in the morning which added to the pleasure. Later we drove into the countryside stopping at two walled towns. Gerard was a wonderful guide, very knowledgeable about the history of the area. He also told us much about the current economy of Spain and his experience setting up a business. Would highly recommend Gerard!

Nice tour but did not cover itinerary as laid out in booking. - The guide was informative and prompt. The tour failed to provide the afternoon tea, beverages, food tasting, light refreshments, and wine tasting. The two sites visited were free from admission so that was not a factor. So if you are choosing this tour because of stated itinerary beware. It was a nice tour but was essentially, transporting and a guided walking tour. Bottled water and bagged snacks were available in the vehicle, their was a walnut liquor tasting at a local shop in pals. One shot of each liquor. The local guide apologized and said the booking documents need to be updated with viator. Viator failed to stand behind their booking and reached out to local guide BCN Hidden Tours who failed offer compensation because we enjoyed the tour. I agree the guide did a good job but that is beyond the point. You should get what you pay for and Viator not local guide should stand behind their bookings. I use Viator often when we travel and this was our first tour that was less than spot on.

Waste of a day - We expected more hiking. It was only 15 minutes of an easy walk. Why the restrictions on pregnancy etc.? Lunch was not provided and not offered as a stop until we were starving and requested a break. We drove through rice fields for 45 minutes with no stop. No bathroom stops without our asking. Snacks were suitable for 10 yr olds. One water per person and lots of juice boxes. We ran through each village with no casual exploration. We felt like we were on a tour bus that was on a strict schedule not like a private tour.
