Can't go wrong with this tour company

This was a wonderful tour. Pau was our guide and he was so informative and enthusiastic about the history of the area. He also magically arranged for the thunderstorm to occur AFTER our hike up the volcano. We also had a meal which was authentic and amazing. The staff at Girona Experience replied to my solo request immediately and worked with me to find a tour for me last minute. Very professional and delightful folks to work with.

An amazing experience!

We loved this tour! Andres was fantastic. We spent the entire day with Andres driving around to several beautiful towns, a volcano and a lake. We had a very spacious and comfortable van, stopped at an amazing restaurant for lunch and hiked the volcano. We all loved the experience. Thank you!

Excellent tour of the area

We did not book as a private tour, but the two of us were the only ones booked and they went ahead with the tour. Our guide, Pau, was very good. He conveyed so much history about the places we visited and answered all our questions. He has excellent command of the English language in addition to the history and geography of the area. Best of all, we learned about local traditions, such as parades for Epiphany (when the Wise Men come to visit on January 6).

Great day out of Girona

Of course, one had to have a nice weather ro enjoy completely this trip. That one was checked. Another very important element is a guide (and the driver). Ours was Pau and he made our day really memorable. Knowledgable, informative, helpful, we enjoyed his comentaries and guidanance. Our trip took place out of the high season. Positive things were no tourist crowds, moderate temperature, autumn feel in the nature. Besalu, Castle on the Rock,volcano, Santa Pau, Banyoles may be condensed to have in one go but otherwise you will miss one or more of them. Anyhow , this is to have a taste of those places ans you can decide to return to some of them one day for a longer exploration. Recommendes lunch place was great, food even offered as a menu was excellent and greatly priced. Definitelly recommended tour Nd knce again thank you Pau.
