The experience was really good, perfectly covered all 3 of Montserrat, Girona and Tossa De Maar. A special mention to our guide BOSCO who was really informative.
Bosco was a knowledge, funny, and great tour guide!
Great tour to get an idea of what Catalonia has to offer. Our tour guide, Bosco was very friendly, informative and gave a lot of good food recommendations and places to eat. I highly recommend this tour!
Both tour guides were probably good people. Slightly too loud, with a lot of basic and boring jokes. We paid quite a bit for this tour , we were consciously aware about our needs. So ,the less silly entertainment the better. One of the guides made inappropriate comments about the Jewish community in Girona.It wasn’t fun. All together 2-3 out of 10.
Jordi and Roger were amazing guides, very knowledgeable, funny, and entertaining. They pointed us in the right direction when we had free time and had great recommendations for food and activities. Highly recommend and hope Jordi and Roger are your guides.
