We arrived as the only two at the meeting point, the rest had cancelled due to a bad weather forecast. This simply allowed the guide to be more flexible with our needs, e.g. we hadn't had breakfast yet, so we went to get some. The weather turned out great, the hike was nice and cozy, good distance while not too tough, which was good as it was my wife's first hike. We arrived at a beautiful site with an old medieval structure, where the guide took us to a local restaurent that served us delicious food. The guide was very friendly, and told us about the local agriculture during the drive, and about the various plants along the hike. All in all a great experience.
Hi Mathias, I am really pleased you have enjoy our trip to Costa Brava. It was lovely to meet you both. All the best, Stepan
Amazing tour. Stepan was a great guide. He was very knowledgeable and personable. We hiked along the coastline around St. Pal and then explored the medieval town of Tossa Del Mar. Lunch was included and was delicious. I would highly recommend this tour!
Thanks again to Stepan for his patience and pleasure in encouraging us throughout the day. We learned a lot about the region, its history and various information along the way. He even helped us when choosing at this delicious restaurant in Tossa del mar.
We did the hiking tour to Costa Brava and Tossa de Mar, and it was a wonderful experience. Stepan was super friendly, very easy to talk to. He picked us up right in the center of Barcelona and later dropped us off also there, although he was willing to drop us off in a location that were convenient for us, which we really appreciated. During the hike, he shared lots of interesting facts about the local nature and rock formations, and created a really enjoyable atmosphere throughout the day. He offered to take pictures of us (that was so sweet!). Landscapes are breathtaking. He also took us to a great restaurant, which was a nice touch. Funny enough, the tour happened on the day of the national blackout in Spain (April 28, 2025) — but instead of ruining anything, it actually made the day even more memorable. We ended up being part of a historic moment, and had a good laugh about it! I definitely recommend this tour if you want to see Costa Brava from a more natural and relaxed perspective. Thank you so much, Stepan! We hope to see you again for another great tour time when we are back to Barcelona.
High winds were on course for the day, so Stepan chose an area that was protected from the winds. He molded the day to what we wanted to do. We did a lot of walking and he pointed out many local facts and fauna. Lunch was amazing and authentic and after another hiking tour with much history of the area. I would highly recommend this tour if you like to get exercise while learning about the area from someone who is knowledgeable.
Hi Jennifer, thank you so much for sharing your experience from Costa Brava. We would love to have you and your family back in the future. All the best, Stepan
This was the most amazing day of our trip. Our guide Fivros was absolutely wonderful. He is incredibly knowledgeable about the area, wildlife, plants and the sea. He took the time to answer all of our questions, made sure we were safe and having a good time. We hiked for about 90 minutes then had a swim break at a beautiful beach with a bar. Another 90 minutes hike and we arrived at Tossa de Mar, a heavenly little town with lots of shops, restaurants and two beach areas to choose from. While we had an hour or so of free time Fivros hiked back to the van and picked us up in the town. This was a very well planned tour with the most amazing sea views.
This was my first hike- thinking it would be a fun thing to do -- this was a very strenuous hike for the non experienced - but it was totally worth it! Beautiful scenery, beautiful beaches and the meal was a plus -- the best part was our tour guide - he helped me when the climbing was scary and he always made sure I was doing good - HE WAS FANTISTIC!
Incredible small group tour, exactly as described, hiking, swimming and eating delicious food. The guide Foivos was friendly, informative and attentive to different abilities. An absolute must do!
This was a great way to see a different part of Barcelona. We got a good workout in and got to see some breathtaking views. It was an amazing experience. Stepan provided evenly spaced bathroom breaks, hiking breaks, food recommendations, and gave us tips when snorkeling.
Wonderful day. The tour was interesting with several scenic spots along the way. Stepan, the tour guide, was very friendly and knowledgeable. Absolutely recommended!
