Great! - Miquel drives just fine. He is not a bad driver! Tour was great, and we would reccomend to friends and family. A couple of suggetions: Include a quick restroom break on the way back (1/2 way) in case someone needs to go after the meal. And, perhaps shuffle the passengers to put the smallest people up front on the two front seats, or provide a roomier van. Great tour, locations were asesome, and great guide!

Highly recommend the Giroina and Costa Brave small group tour. - Our trip to Girona with a couple of other stops and the beach was fun, interesting and well done. The scenery and history are fascinating. Our tour guide Mohammed was professional, knowledgeable and kind. He was especially accommodating to my 84 year old mom who had some difficulty walking on the cobble streets. He couldn’t have been any nicer and kind.
The lunch location was excellent - great spot on the beach and very good food.
Toby the driver was very good - he is a good, cautious driver and very friendly.

One of the best day trips we have done - Good communications re pickup. Excellent itinerary; guide gave good balance between guiding a free time; small group of 8 pax worked well; saw two small Costa Brava villages + medieval village + Girona. Long day but good value.

Lovely tour. - This was a lovely tour. The pace was just right. Girona-Pals-Costa Brava are so unlike, which made it more interesting. Our tour guide, Miguel, was very considerate - always asking how we like the tour so far, his driving skills, etc..

Average Tour - The communication ahead of the tour was good but they couldn't pick us up at our hotel as their van didn't have the correct sticker. Our guide was nice but did not really share very many details about the country or locations we visited; other than an informational walk in Girona. He did do a great job of trying is when and where to meet throughout the day. He also did a good job of driving. The food at the location they suggested for lunch was not very good. The recommended sangria place was very good. Overall, this was just an average tour that could've been much better with more information throughout the day.
