I had a wonderful tour of the Dali Theater Museum and the Dali house with Noela. She was so knowledgable and passionate about Dali and shared so much information. I can't imagine all I would have missed without her guiding us at the museum. The conversation and information she shared with us on the ride made the time pass quickly. Cadaques was in was idyllic and a lovely place to spend the afternoon. The tours door to door pick up/drop off service made this so stress free.
Had an amazing day with Vincente our tour guide and driver Joaquin. Both were lovely with us and made the trip enjoyable from start to finish. Vincente provided us with a lot of insight to the area in Cadaques, Figueres and history of Dali’s life and works. The tour of Dali’s Museum was so fascinating and visiting the house he built for Gala was beautiful with stunning views. Dali’s work has always been fascinating and amusing to me. He is a very eccentric and amusing character that is probably why I love his work because there is always deeper meaning behind every piece of art he created. If your thinking of doing this tour you should you will not be disappointed. Thank you Vincente and Joaquin.
Marcelo our guide arrived right on time and was very wonderful and punctual throughout the trip! We are a family of five with teens and a preschooler and he was very helpful and patient with us which was amazing. Our highlight was Cadaques and Dali House.

Luis is a very knowledgeable guide. The car was clean and very comfortable
Noelia was a wonderful guide, very immersive. I listened to her attentively, as she gave us details of Dali's background. I will remember what she taught us , retaining that information better than the art history class I took in college over 30 years ago.
An amazing day spent with an amazing guide!! Noelia made the trip fun and educational! She has a passion for Dali that made the tour special. We would highly recommend it!
Excellent tour, I highly recommend it.
