Tour panoramico di un giorno della Costa Brava con gita in barca da Barcellona
Descrizione
Grazie a questa escursione conoscerete la costa di Girona, battezzata 100 anni fa col nome di Costa Brava, per le sue scogliere frastagliate e scoscese, costellate da piccole calette circondate da pini e bagnate da acque cristalline. La Costa Brava deve la sua fama non solo al caratteristico litorale, ma anche ai paesi che la popolano. Quelli che una volta erano villaggi di pescatori, con casette di mura imbiancate a calce e viuzze strette e tortuose continuano a conservare ancor oggi un gran fascino. In questo tour conosceremo la parte meridionale della Costa Brava e due delle cittadine che incarnano alla perfezione la sua essenza. Due città diverse e simili allo stesso tempo, che vi faranno comprendere appieno quella che è la vera natura della Costa Brava.

Itinerario
Percorreremo l’autostrada e arriveremo in un’ora e 15 minuti circa a Lloret de Mar, principale centro turistico della Costa Brava. La prima caratteristica della quale vi renderete conto sarà la vitalità che la pervade; numerosi pullman provenienti da ogni parte d’Europa porta visitatori pronti a usufruire delle sue spiagge, hotel, negozi e attività, e della sua effervescente vita notturna. Avremo tempo libero per esplorare questo paese vivace e dinamico dall’identità fortemente marcata. Percorrendo il lungomare di Lloret potrete godere di una vista favolosa dei suoi lidi, dalla maestosa spiaggia di Lloret fino alla più remota Sa Caleta. Due colline dalle forme delicate, situate ai due estremi del lungomare, sono punti di belvedere ideali dai quali ammirare tutta la località e l’ambiente circostante. Passeggiando per le strette vie della cittadina, che ricordano il suo non lontano passato di città di pescatori, scoprirete negozi di tutti i tipi e per ogni esigenza; dalle bancarelle alle boutiques di marche prestigiose. Nel cuore della via più turistica e commerciale della città potrete ammirare anche alcune bellezze architettoniche, come la chiesa di Sant Romà (San Romano), di un raffinato stile modernista, che al suo interno ospita una pala d’altare risalente al XVI secolo in perfetto stato di conservazione. Alle ore 11:30 saliremo a bordo del catamarano DOFIJETS che ci condurrà alla vicina località di Tossa de Mar. Durante la navigazione potrete beneficiare dell’impareggiabile bellezza paesaggistica e naturale della Costa Brava; enormi scogliere a picco sul mare modellate nel corso dei secoli, dalla forza delle onde e del vento, con le forme più stravaganti.
Verso le ore 12:15 giungeremo all’emblematica cittadina di Tossa de Mar, conosciuta come la “Perla della Cosa Brava”. Questo soprannome le è stato dato perché ospita, in un’area non troppo grande, tutti gli elementi storici e paesaggistici che hanno reso famosa la Costa Brava. I suoi suggestivi paesaggi, partendo dalle coste e dalle spiagge passando per le grotte nelle scogliere fino ad arrivare alla sua vegetazione selvaggia, fanno di Tossa de Mar una località che ha saputo conservare nel miglior modo l’ambiente naturale che la circonda in armonia con lo sviluppo del turismo. A Tossa de Mar La storia ha lasciato le sue tracce; dalla presenza dei Romani nella Villa Romana dels Ametllers (dei mandorli) alla cinta muraria della Vila Vella, dichiarata monumento artistico nazionale nel 1931. Le cui torri e la muraglia rappresentano il simbolo del comune. Attualmente è l’unico modello di borgo medievale fortificato del litorale catalano, edificato agli inizi del XIII secolo, è stato oggetto di varie ristrutturazioni che gli hanno conferito la sua struttura attuale. Fuori dalle mura si trova l’antico quartiere dei pescatori di Sa Roqueta, dove ancora si mantiene intatta l’atmosfera marinara caratteristica dei paesi della Costa Brava. Una volta giunti a Tossa de Mar, per chi vorrà, sarà possibile fare una passeggiata partendo dalla spiaggia fino alla sommità della muraglia, dove si trova il faro. Lì, potremo allietarci con una incantevole vista del litorale. Durante la discesa, passeremo per le piccole vie della Vila Vella fino ad arrivare al quartiere dei pescatori. Da qui avrete a disposizione del tempo libero per scoprire l’ambiente circostante e per pranzare nella località con l’offerta gastronomica più ampia e varia di tutta la Costa Brava. Una tranquilla passeggiata lungo la spiaggia di Tossa de Mar ci permetterà di scoprire luoghi nascosti e ammirare la costa da prospettive uniche. Per finire, sarebbe un vero peccato salutare Tossa de Mar senza aver prima curiosato tra i piccoli e sfiziosi negozi delle sue tipiche stradine. Alle ore 16:00 partiremo per Barcellona in pullman dove arriveremo per le ore 17:30 circa.

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
