Special day in Girona

Manu was an amazing guide!!! Pick up/drop off was seamless, and the day overall ran very smoothly. He's very knowledgeable, and when we shared with him that my husband recently found out he had ancestors in Girona, Manu made sure to speak to some of the history that directly related to us. And lastly, his sense of humor is amazing. We were all cracking up all day, and by the end, we really did feel like “familia”! 10/10 experience!!!

Quintessential view of Catalonia; history+beach

Lovely trip - quintessential view of Spain. All three sites were worth seeing for very different perspectives. We didn’t know that there would be beach time, so we didn’t bring suits - that’s the only thing that could have been better. Marcello was a very energetic and engaging guide, with good knowledge and local connections at the locations.
