Xavi as a tour guide was amaaazingggg! So informative! Such a fun sense of humour! Made the entire experience amazing! Our drive Alexander was amazing too! Very smooth! Absolutely loved the whole experience! And Xavi made it even more memorable!

Amazing trip to 3 countries in 1 day. The guide Xavi and driver Alessandro were great! Full of knowledge, fun, and funny! Will definitely recommend!

Our guide, Rod, was the best! He was so excited to teach us about Spain, that he even pointed out things on our walk from the tour office to the van we’d be using a short block or two away. He was animated and made the history so much fun, using maps and diagrams to help us put it all in perspective! He played fun music and gave personal attention to all six of us. It was raining hard for most of trip, but umbrella and rain gear helped us enjoy having the beaches and castles almost all to ourselves…no fighting crowds thru narrow passages and best photo areas. Our lunch at Restaurante Bruna was so delicious, authentic and welcoming. Dishes of seasonal foods delighted us. A selection of plates was described ahead so the food was waiting for us when we arrived. We enjoyed the little villages more after Rod introduced us to their histories. Yes, it rained, but we still enjoyed every minute! Thank you, Rod:)

We did not get to go to Ax a thermes due to weather. The alternative village was small and did not have much stuff to do. Andorra was mostly shopping - not much culture there. The medieval village was probably the high light of the trip

An amazing time with our guide so many facts about Dali and Gala while in transit to the museum. The time at the Dali Museum in Figueres (included) was self guided and was approximately 1.5-2 hours long. Lunch (not provided) was in the beach town of Cadaqés. My daughter and I ate at L’Hostal. The food was absolutely delicious. Just know that there is no emphasis on speed so it could take the whole time you are provided to get your food. We did the prix fixe menu and did not get to the dessert before we had to leave. The tour of the Dali House in Cadaqés (extra expense) was amazing and was provided by a worker at the residence. The tour was about 30 minutes long in the house. You can view the gardens at your leisure before heading back to Barcelona. Total tour was approximately 10.5-11 hours but it was well worth the time if you love Dalí.

MONTSERRAT-WINERY-FARMHOUSE LUNCH: Montserrat is absolutely beautiful. The roads leading to the are excellent and very well signposted. It was cold there, but the welcome was warm. The views over the mountains and valleys were stunning. Our time there was focused on the historical, spiritual and cultural interests we had. Lunch at the traditional farmhouse (Cal) Casseroles) was first rate. The staff made us very welcome and the food and wine were beautiful! The winery tour (Pares Balta Vineyard) was fascinating and very much worth visiting. Our host, Carlos, was very entertaining. We had a wonderful tour guide (Paolo from Explore Catalunya) and he made the day very personal. His knowledge is amazing. Every Q we had, he was able to answer. He was a great teacher for visitors and his love of this land and its peoples was evident throughout the day. It was clear he has a great relationship with the personnel at the various sites we visited. We really enjoyed our time with him. A beautiful region! Lovely people! A wonderful country!

We took a full day tour with Rod. Had a great time and learned lots of new things. Entertaining stories mixed with free time to explore on our own. Recommend.

Rod was our guide and he was amazing! So knowledgeable. So funny. He answered all our questions, kept us moving but never rushed us. We learned so much!

Pablo Gavilan with Explore Catalunya was a terrific tour guide! He was very informative & also fun, good spirited & easy going. Answered all our questions and gave us so much insite & suggestions for different clients interests - we really enjoyed our time very much. Montserrat is very amazing!!! The staff at this business were all wonderful to deal with. The lady & gentleman at the check in desk were both super lovely to speak with - we did a half day tour yesterday and decided to book another for today. We would very Strongly recommend booking with them here if you are in Barcelona Spain! No regrets! MUCH better experience than just going to see things on our own.

This trip is absolutely worth it! The guide was incredibly knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and brought a positive energy that made the experience even more enjoyable. Each of the three medieval towns we visited was breathtaking, with rich history, charming streets, and stunning architecture. If you love exploring picturesque destinations while learning fascinating stories from a great guide, this tour is a perfect choice!

We have been to Barcelona on five different occasions, so we wanted to explore the area outside of the city. The 3 villages we went to were quaint but had little to offer outside of food. The last town really could have been skipped. To make the trip a real disappointment was the guide. Our guide was obviously being trained so we had his trainer with us as well. They had very little to share while on the bus although the trainee had plenty of texting time. In the towns, I could get more information from reading the signs on the buildings than I did from him. If this is typical of the guides from this company, I would hesitate to book any future tours with them on my future trips to Barcelona.

This was a wonderful experience! Our guide, Rod, was fantastic. He was funny, informative, and very attentive to the needs of the older travelers in the group. Tarragona and Sitges are both absolutely beautiful. We loved getting out of Barcelona and just enjoying some beach time and soaking up some great history. We highly recommend this tour and especially our guide. He made the trip extra enjoyable!

A fun and informative day touring with Pablo even though the itinerary had to be amended due to the weather. He engages with the travellers all the time and his meeting and time spent at each stop is clear. I fortunately the substitute town of Mont Louis was that interesting

Such a fun tour! Highly recommend. Pablo made the tour so enjoyable. The tapas restaurants we went to were delicious and the Flamenco show was enthralling.

Well paced and informative tour. I love Explore Catalunya’s tours and this one did not disappoint. The Roman ruins are stunning and Stiges is a beautiful city. Our tour guide was flexible and focused his comments based upon our interests. I travelled solo and felt very comfortable. The small group tour format is the way to go!
