Must tour if you like an active adventure! Hosts Alex and Matis are wonderful. Pickup and transportation was quick and informative. I was very nice to see the coast north of Barcelona. Kayaking/Tossa De Mar tour was awesome, guided by Alex and Matis was educational, attentive, and both spoke easy to understand english. Kayaking in the caves was a great experience (and very safe). I am not a big snorkeler - but this trip blended just enough to be interesting and enjoyable. Lunch and free time in Tossa De Mar equally interesting and enjoyable. Don’t hesitate to book this tour - the time flew by and was by far our favorite tour!
If you're looking for an adventure in Barcelona, look no further! Our family of four had the time of our lives cliff jumping, kayaking, and snorkeling. Matias was an excellent guide, taking care of our every need and ensuring we all had a fantastic time. And Alex was superb! This experience is an absolute must-do!
An experience you must try It has been a very good experience!! I recommend this tour! Alex and Matías are excellent! The transportation was comfortable and air-conditioned. The kayak tour was excellen ... Date of experience: August 2026
This was by far one of the best experiences my husband and I have ever had! 🥰 We had an absolutely amazing time kayaking in one of the most beautiful beaches in Europe. 🌊☀️ Alex and his partner were incredibly professional and provided world-class customer service from beginning to end. They made the whole experience so much fun and memorable! I highly recommend Karios Barcelona Tours to anyone looking to have an unforgettable time in Tossa de Mar, Spain. 🇪🇸❤️ You won’t regret it!
This company is great. The Ted Lassos of excursions. Kind, friendly and really interested in making your outing a good experience. The company is 2 guys who started this business together 10-15 years ago. (Don’t hold me responsible for the accuracy of the time frame). Alex and Matthias purposely keep the group small to make it feel like each customer matters. Even better, Matthias takes pictures during kayaking and you get a c opy for free. No paying an extra 50 euro to get the pictures. Amazing! Thanks for a lovely day for my family and me!
I couldn't agree more with the reviews listed here. This was a great day-trip excursion from Barcelona. Alex communicated with us promptly and generously prior to our day trip; he took good care of us and was a great conversationalist during the drive and the delicious lunch in Tossa! During the kayaking and snorkeling tour, Matias made sure to keep us safe in the water and was enthusiastic about sharing his knowledge of the Costa Brava and answering our questions about the local sea life (we were fortunate to spot an octopus during our snorkel)! As mentioned by other reviewers, Matias also sent us great photos and video clips of our adventure. If you want a tour outside of Barcelona with kind and generous hosts, then I absolutely and HIGHLY recommend this tour with Kairos Barcelona Tours－and remember to book directly via their website to support Matias and Alex!
The people were very friendly, the tour was beautiful and everything worked very well. I would thoroughly recommend!
Such a special and personalized experience. They payed attention to the small details and made everyone feel so important! We had such a memorable experience and we are so grateful for the guides!
The tour is worth paying for. The view is impressive, and the guide Alex and the instructor Matias are very pleasant and made our experience wonderful. We will definitely repeat 👌
Phenomenal day trip from Barcelona. Highly recommend. The owners, Alex and Matias, are wonderful. Experienced, professional, and committed to the preservation of costa brava and its surroundings. Went with my husband and two teenage sons who are now obsessed with going back to the cliffs of costa brava
