Girona and Costa Brava Small Group Tour from Barcelona
Description
The goal of this day trip is to take you away from the hustle and bustle of Barcelona and, to let you enjoy the Mediterranean breeze. This experience has been designed for the outdoors, art, and nature lovers. As soon as we leave Barcelona we immerse ourselves in the Catalan countryside. The first stop is Girona (Game of Thrones?). A perfect mix of history, architecture, and...food! We will take a nice stroll through the narrow streets of the Old Town and the Roman Walls. Right after we will move into the Catalan Countryside, we deserve to be surrounded by nature. The second stop is Peratallada, probably the most charming and less-known medieval village in the Empordà region. A nice stroll around and a few pictures later we will take you for lunch at Calella de Palafrugell, an old fishing village formed by several coves that still preserve the charm of the villages of the area, with narrow streets and some traditional two-floor fishermen’s dwellings. BRING YOUR SWIMWEAR IN SUMMER!

What a wonderful day trip to Girona and Costa Brava! Papa Bear was our guide - his enthusiasm and passion for history and details made for an unforgettable experience. The full day tour was enjoyable throughout, and we loved listening to Papa Bear’s storytelling skills. He loves doing tours and it shows.
I would highly recommend the experience, especially if the guide we got is part of it. He made the tour worth it. I typically avoid staying with the guide, but he was knowledgeable and fun . I truly appreciated his style and energy. You can tell he loves what he does
The tour itself has a great design and the time is well planned. Our tour guide, William was awful, tired, didn’t explain anything only recommended places to drink. While driving you can tell he was falling asleep making the bus beep constantly. Sad we missed from learning from this trip. 😣
Our guide Gulio was exceptional, very energetic and full of knowledge. He eagerly shared every detail that came to mind and with his enthusiasm and great mood, made us have a great time.
