    Monserrat and Winery Tour
    We had a great time our tour guide was personable and down to earth. It was an early wake up and due to weather conditions we could not see the views from Monserrat. My favorite was the last part which was the wine tasting and lunch. Very authentic. We had a great time overall!! Highly recommend Rot our tour guide.

    Andora
    We had a day trip to Andora via Baga and France. The tour pickup point is hard to get. Make sure to check the location of the tour office a day before the trip. The checkin was smooth and on time. Our guide Xabay and the driver Jonathan were courteous and organized. A lot of informations were shared on the way to Andora and Baga. Plan to have your lunch in the French city since you have better time to eat relaxed. There is a lot to see in Andora, plan extra time for shopping since the prices are cheaper.

    Fantastic day
    What a great day! Our guide, Sergio, was so kind, funny, attentive and interesting. The drive through the countryside was just as enjoyable as the 3 city visits. An excellent value.

    Amazing way to see 3 different Cities/Countries
    This tour was amazing. The time spent in each city was well enough to get a feel for the city and try local snacks. Not too much time for a long meal if you are also trying to see sites, so pack some snacks and water. Tour Guide Sergio and Bus Driver Alejandro were amazing personalities, and the tour was very enjoyable.

    An enjoyable evening with good food, fun and host!
    Pablo has been very friendly and knowledgeable in sharing the history of Spain. We had enjoyed the learning and tasted some of the local tapas and Sangria. Overall, we had a lovely and enjoyable evening.

    Amazing
    booked from Get Your Guide in last minutes. The guide, really kind and informatif, the tour itself is amazing, because it's included bags and mont Louis which are a bit difficult to reach if we travel alone. My advice is only maybe on the way back from andorra to Barcelona can make several stops for photo taking to see the Barcelona from Top/Hill, maybe quick stop at Tibidabo would be great?

This is a fantastic tour that was incredibly well organized and the time management was beyond exquisite. Tour time was 10 hrs compared to the 12 that was listed but this was adequate. I wish for more time in the mountains but we are at the mercy of the train timings. It was truly great excursion to be met at the beautiful meetup spot, walked to a very clean van, then headed to Vic. Along the way we learned history and listened to great music. As we were driven, I felt very safe. I enjoyed the tiny mountain town and was overjoyed to take the train into the Pyrenees mountains where I got to enjoy my food I purchased on tips from the guide. I got every dollar worth on this trip.
Hint: look up potential hikes to do at the Valle de Nuria for maximal time management. I highly recommend Pic de l'Ă€liga. Not recommended for those who have 0 interest in seeing churches, 100% recommended for those who want to escape the city and see some marvellous views worth writing home about.
Thank you!

Rod was an absolutely amazing guide during our tour of the Pyrenees mountains. His knowledge of the area was impressive, and he shared fascinating details about the history, geography, and culture of the region. What made the experience even better was his great sense of humor—he kept the atmosphere light and enjoyable throughout the day.

Rod was also very open to questions, patiently answering and making sure everyone in the group felt engaged and included. His passion for the area was clear and contagious, making the tour not just informative but also incredibly memorable.

If you’re considering a tour of the Pyrenees, I can’t recommend Rod enough. He truly made the experience unforgettable.

We had an amazing adventure traveling into the Pyrenees with Nuria. The weather was lovely. Vic was a pleasant town to walk and Queralbs was very special and beautiful. As we made our way up to the valley, it became apparent that this was the true star of the show. I would without a doubt do it all over again. Worth the money and the travel time out of the city of Barcelona. Thanks guys!

This was a great trip and a great change of pace! We had done just about everything in the city and this made our trip feel so complete. The towns and mountains are stunning and the weather was a nice reprieve from the city heat. Nu was our guide and she made sure we had a good amount of free time and had suggestions for activities at each stop to make the most of the short visits. It was a really nice mix of history and nature in one tour.

Excellent trip to Pyrenees on 26 June 2021, our guide was professional, friendly, had great language skills and in-depth knowledge of Catalunya. He provided interesting history / background on each place we visited and excellent advice on hikes and side trips of interest during free time. Our group included people with a range of hiking abilities and the guide was able accommodate each with suitable agendas to keep everyone happy. I Highly recommend this trip and Explore Catalunya.
COVID control measures in effect at the time were well followed and everyone felt safe.

For many years, I have wanted to go up into the Pyrenees because I love mountains and the natural scenery. Well, this trip,with David as the guide, was wonderful. We heard lots of interesting things about the history of Cataluña since medieval times to the present.

We visited several medieval towns, walked around them, and had free time to explore on our own.
The highlight of the day was to ride in the funicular train high up the Pyrenees and then take a cable car even higher, well above the snow line. David explained the best things to do, then we had free time to explore whatever most interested us. It was a great, very satisfying experience.

And I finish with a comment of David's driving. It seemed to me he thought he was a driver in a F1 race... He had total control but the experience was, shall we say, unforgettable.

All up, I thoroughly recommend this tour. Brilliant!!

Rod and George were exemplary tour guides/drivers—extremely friendly, knowledgeable, efficient, and great sense of humor. The tour itself was likewise fantastic and jam-packed with activities and places to see but never rushed. Cannot recommend highly enough—just go, you won’t regret it!

This is a well planned day trip to the mountains, including visits to Vic and Queralbs. I am a huge mountain lover! But I'm also an art, architecture and heritage lover. So it was a perfect blend, to treat myself this solo day trip on my birthday. It was made more special by our wonderful guide, Jordi. Got to learn many new things about Catalunya's history and culture. Jordi's knowledge about art history and expertise in the field is commendable. He was personable, enthusiastic and made us all feel comfortable throughout. The drive to and fro was pretty smooth. It was very sensible to have the first stop at Vic in the morning, since it's quieter especially in the old town. The visit to the stone village at Queralbs was another experience of solitude. It's a bit ironic to find these towns and villages more quieter & peaceful than what you see when you enter NĂşria valley. However there's enough time to find your own peaceful spot, go on small trails, and take in the magnificence of nature. There wasn't a lot of snow, but the scenes were spectacular. In all, it was a wonderful experience of a small group guided tour. Our group was quite international, and it was great to meet new people on my solo trip. Also, the amazing Jordi! Guides who are so passionate about their work deserve to be applauded. Thank you Explore Catalunya! And thanks a lot Jordi for making it special!
