Our tour guide, Chema, was fantastic. He was very informative and made the tour very enjoyable. I would highly recommend him.
We had a great tour with Anatoli. He was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. Girona has a very interesting history and is well worth a visit.
This was a terrific experience. Go hungry! There is a lot to eat and it's good! We can't wait to try to cook paella at home.
Our Tour Guide/Driver was very good and knowledgeable. Our complaint was with the car that the tour company sent . It was very small and we had 4 adults. VERY uncomfortable and we were packed in, One person had to sit up front and 3 averaged size adults in the back. The cost of $659.76 was Not worth it. Extremely disappointing and was not a good start of the day. The Tour was supposed to be 5 hours and was not. By the time the we were picked up and dropped off it was about 4 hours. Our other private tours sent a small van (mercedes) and was alot less expensive.
Luis was generous with his time and knowledge. He enhanced our visit with modifications perfectly tailored to our sensibilities.
This was a great tour and our tour guide Marco made the experience one to remember. I really enjoyed his insight about Girona, Pals and surrounding attractions. He is patient while we took pictures and answered all of our questions. He has a great personality and really makes sure that everyone is comfortable and enjoying themselves. Highly recommend this tour and Marco even more.
Miquel Arnau was a great tour guide. He was knowledgeable, funny, a good driver, and very friendly. We had a great time with him and would strongly recommend him!
Arnau kindly offered to take me to Girona, a lovely mediaeval city next to Barcelona. Arnau is a very talented guide with heaps of charisma. There was no question I threw at him that he didn’t have an interesting historical anecdote. Highly recommend !
