Tour turístico de un día por la Costa Brava con paseo en barco desde Barcelona
Descripción
En esta excursión visitamos la Costa de Girona, bautizada hace más de 100 años como Costa Brava, debido a su peculiar relieve abrupto y recortado, salpicado por pequeñas calas rodeadas de pinos y bañada por aguas cristalinas. Aparte del característico relieve de su litoral, la Costa Brava debe también su fama a sus pueblos. Los que antaño fueron pequeños núcleos de pescadores, con casitas de paredes encaladas blancas y callejuelas estrechas y tortuosas, conservan todavía hoy en día ese encanto único. Conoceremos la parte meridional de la Costa Brava y en ella dos pueblos que representan la esencia de dicha costa. Contrapuestos el uno del otro, pero a la vez complementarios, harán que, después de unas pocas horas fuera de Barcelona, regresemos con una completa imagen de lo que es la Costa Brava.

Itinerario
Tomaremos la autopista y en aproximadamente 1h 15 min llegaremos a Lloret de Mar, principal centro turístico de la Costa Brava. Nada más llegar nos percataremos de su bullicio, múltiples autocares procedentes de todas partes de Europa traen visitantes dispuestos a disfrutar de sus playas, hoteles, tiendas, actividades y sobre todo de su animada oferta nocturna. Dispondremos de tiempo libre para poder explorar este colorista y dinámico pueblo de marcada identidad. A lo largo de su peculiar paseo marítimo podremos disfrutar de excelentes vistas a sus playas. Asimismo, dos suaves colinas situadas a ambos extremos del mismo, nos podrán servir de privilegiados miradores de toda la localidad y su entorno. Paseando por las calles estrechas, que esconden su reciente pasado marinero, descubriremos multitud de tiendas para todos los gustos: desde las últimas marcas de moda hasta los típicos bazares playeros. En medio de su calle más comercial podremos también admirar joyas arquitectónicas de gran valor como la Iglesia de Sant Romà de un exquisito estilo modernista en cuyo interior se encuentra un retablo del siglo XVI en excelente estado de conservación. Sobre las 11:30 h subiremos a bordo del barco DOFIJETS que nos conducirá hasta la vecina población de Tossa de Mar. Mientras estamos navegando disfrutaremos del paisaje inigualable y tan característico de la Costa Brava: un desfile de enormes acantilados a los cuales la fuerza del mar y del viento han moldeado caprichosas formas a lo largo de los siglos.
Sobre las 12:15 llegamos a la emblemática población de Tossa de Mar, conocida como “la Perla de la Costa Brava” por albergar en poco espacio todos aquellos elementos paisajísticos y históricos por los que tiene tan merecida fama esta costa. Sus paisajes espectaculares, desde sus costas, playas, cuevas en los acantilados hasta su vegetación autóctona, la convierten en una de las localidades que mejor ha sabido mantener su entorno natural con perfecta armonía al desarrollo turístico. La historia ha ido dejando sus huellas, destacando sobretodo el recinto fortificado de la Vila Vella, declarado monumento artístico nacional en el año 1931, habiéndose convertido sus torres y murallas en el emblema del municipio. Actualmente, es el único modelo de población medieval fortificada que todavía existe en el litoral catalán. Construido a inicios del S. XII, ha sido objeto de diferentes reformas que le han dado la estructura actual. Fuera de sus murallas hay el antiguo barrio tradicional de pescadores de Sa Roqueta, donde todavía se mantiene ese aire marinero tan característico de los pueblos de la Costa Brava. Una vez estemos en Tossa de Mar, para aquellos que les lo deseen, iniciaremos un paseo guiado desde la playa hasta la cima del perímetro amurallado donde se encuentra el faro. Allí, podremos recrearnos con unas impactantes vistas del litoral. Al descender, pasaremos por las calles estrechas de la Vila Vella hasta llegar al barrio marinero. A partir de aquí, se dispondrá de tiempo libre para acabar de descubrir el entorno y para comer. Esta localidad dispone sin duda de la oferta gastronómica más amplia y variada de toda la Costa Brava. Un tranquilo paseo a lo largo de su playa nos ayudará a encontrar rincones con perspectivas únicas de la costa. No se puede abandonar tampoco Tossa de Mar sin curiosear por las pequeñas y atractivas tiendas de sus típicas calles. A las 16:00h regresaremos a Barcelona en bus donde está prevista la llegada a las 17:30h, aproximadamente.

This was a spectacular tour! Worth every penny. The towns were quaint, the boat ride was enjoyable, and the guides were pleasant, helpful, and wonderful. Perfect way to experience the Costa Brava off the beaten path.
This tour was a good value for the amount of money it cost. A guide, a boat ride and enough time for some sightseeing on your own. A little more time, like another hour or an hour and a half would have been perfect because it was tough to squeeze in a nice lunch and beach time if we wanted to take the guided tour (its an option) but all in all I was satisfied.
My partner and I travel to Barcelona on Tuesday, June 23 our first time very excited for this trip particularly this tour to Costa bravo and had booked a tour for 8:30 AM on June 24 we were promptly up at 6 AM taxi to a bus station, which was somewhat of a surprise as we were expecting a Marina and doubt it if we were in the correct location I called the tour operator at 8 AM as departure was at 8:30 AM and we were to be at the meeting place at 8:15 AM. They confirmed we were in the right location and to meet at platform 23. We waited until 8:40 AM and tried calling the tour operator back only to learn they had left without us. I attempted to have the tour refunded, but was told that given they had provided details in the app of the meeting place a refund would not be possible despite explaining that we did not see the details and that is why we had called the tour guide knew we were there and failed to make a courtesy call to ensure we boarded the bus. Needless to say this was extremely upsetting and disappointing. we found ourselves in Barcelona on a holiday with nothing opened and no Plant tour fortunately, we were able to find an alternate tour departing in 11 AM. This operator is not interested in the experience of their customers. I got the impression they are in it for money only and have no empathy or regard for tourist visiting Barcelona. I would like to say to book through a different tour operator however this is the only tour that goes to Costa bravo, needless to say we will not be rebooking or would not recommend this tour to anyone.
Dear Corinne, First of all, we are very sorry that you were unable to join our Costa Brava tour. After reading your review, we would like to clarify a few points. First, at no point were you instructed to go to platform 23. This year, the bus station assigned us platform 26, and that is where our tour departs every day. This information is clearly provided in several places: * The product description on the Viator website, which is accessible to all customers, clearly states that the departure is from **platform 26**. * The personal voucher sent by Viator after your booking, which must be presented at check-in, clearly instructs you to go to **platform 26**. * The day before the tour, you received a reminder message indicating that you should go to **platform 26**. * Upon arrival at the bus station, all the station's information screens showed that our tour was departing from **platform 26**. * When you called us, you were also informed that you needed to go to **platform 26**. In all of these places, it is also clearly stated that the departure is from a **bus station**, not a Marina. We therefore do not understand why you were expecting to find a Marina. If, as you mention in your review, you were waiting at platform 23, it is worth noting that on that day there were no buses parked at platforms 23, 24, or 25. The only bus in that section of the station was ours, located at platform 26. Our bus was only a few metres away and was the only one there, with several guides, a queue of guests checking in, and multiple Costa Brava signs clearly displayed. It is therefore evident that you were never there and unfortunately arrived too late for the excursion. We find it very disappointing that you chose to make such serious accusations against our company when, in fact, you did not review the information provided for the tour at any stage. We hope that, despite this unfortunate situation, you were able to enjoy the rest of your day.
My college-aged daughter and I were glad we booked this during our time in Barcelona. Fun to get outside of the city, rub elbows with people from around the world, and enjoy some luxurious scenery. The boat ride between towns was a highlight of the day. Guides were attentive and made everything super easy. Only regret was not coming equipped to swim in the warm waters of Tossa Del Mar! Not sure what we were thinking!
Great family experience. The tour is a fantastic way to see some beautiful coastal towns and enjoy some very clean and crystal clear beaches. The tour was awesome, great transportation from meeting point to initial beach, initial beach to second coastal town via a boat (large boat), and back to our initial meeting point. I tend to believe the first beach was more enjoyable but the second beach had more options for food and shopping. My only semi-negative comment, by the time you get to the second beach, it is full and there aren't any chairs or umbrellas for rent. So be prepared.
Be sure to be on time exactly the time they give you to meet up after each free time as the time for meet up is the time they head out to either the boat or back to the bus no room for being just a minute or two late, Very friendly knowledgeable folks. And very helpful as well. I only mention the above because most tour groups when they say meet back at a certain time ,you still hang around for a little while while the group gets organized, however this group the meeting time they give you means the time they are taking off and if you’re not there, you will be left behind. As they have a very tight schedule for boat and bus time with all the other tour groups being in line waiting their turn.
It was a good tour. The guides were great. There was plenty of time to explore. The ride on the boat was nice as well.
Great experience. The guides were wonderful and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend this company and tour.
This tour is a really great way to explore the costal region of Catalonia. You have a lot of time to explore the two nice towns by yourself.
For the money I padu it was ok. The Guides were great
