- Meet a guide in central Barcelona, then travel to the Spanish village of Baga, where you have views of the rocky peaks in Cadi-Moixero National Park. Tour the village’s square and medieval church. Then, head deeper into the countryside toward the French border. Next, stop at the ancient spa town of Ax-Les-Thermes. Discover some natural fountains, soak your feet in the healing waters, and enjoy the free time to browse local artisan shops and explore this traditional French village. Meet your guide back at the bus, climb aboard, and travel to Andorra. Travel through the scenic Pyrenees Alps on route to Andorra la Vella. Along the route, cross the Pas de la Casa, a high mountain pass with some ample photo opportunities. Descend into Andorra, stopping off at a mountain valley to explore tiny stone huts that dot the mountainside and an ancient Roman church stands. From here you head down the valleys into Andorra de la Vella. This will be your last stop of the day, but you have enough time to do a little bit of duty-free shopping and grab a quick bargain. Begin the return to Barcelona in the late afternoon, pausing for a drink in Coll de Nargo along the way and finishing the day at a central location in Barcelona.

Stephen was an excellent guide. Really enjoyed his input and knowledge of places visited. Andora was different than expected. Enjoyed it although many stores were closed due to time we were there.

Three complete adventures in one day. It’s a lot to absorb it all, but great insight to all three stops. It provides you with memories for life and seeing a country I didn’t even know existed…legendary!

Great experience!!! Highly recommend, our tour guide Judith was very nice and always willing to answer any questions. I was lucky to experience a little bit of everything within minutes; sun, rain and snow ❄️. If you are in Barcelona this tour is a MUST!!

A fantastic trip, well worth all the driving! The views were spectacular, and the guide (who was knowledgeable, funny, and personable) gave information about the area's rich history throughout. The stops in each of the towns were a bit short, but that's to be expected when trying to fit in so much in just one day. There was enough time to get lunch in Ax-les-Thermes and do some shopping in Andorra. We stopped a few times at scenic points for pictures, as well. Overall, great experience!

The trip description is spot on and worth the experience. Comfortable bus transportation was provided with plenty of opportunity to explore, experience the local culture and shopping. Our guide and staff was very friendly. Suggest layers of clothing as temps will very in the upper mountains.

This was my first time in Europe and I was quite hesitant about using a paid tour guide service. However, Gloria was the sweetest and most informative guide I could have asked for. She kept me laughing and gave so much great information the entire time, on top of just being adorable. She took the time to walk us through every little town that we stopped in to give us pieces of history while interjecting little funny comments on each one. The entrance into Andora is absolutely breathtaking and not an experience you should pass on. I would highly recommend this company and would highly recommend Gloria. Be one of Gloria’s people! Gracias, Gloria!

This trip was my first time in Europe, so getting to see three countries in one day with a guided tour was amazing! Xavier was our tour guide and not only was he incredibly knowledgeable, but also hilarious. It made for a great time getting to learn about the rich history of the three countries and the places we passed along the way, but also memorable with fun facts and jokes, too! There were around 15 people in our group and the van was clean, comfortable, and spacious enough. We didn’t end up getting to see Ax-Les-Thermes because it had been snowing there for five days in a row and the roads to get there weren’t safe to take, so we pivoted to Bourg-Madame in France instead. It was a cute little town with the best croissant I’ve ever had, so we didn’t feel like we had missed out at all. We took a few guided tours throughout our visit in Europe, and this was by far our favorite. If you have a day to spare, I highly recommend this tour and hope you enjoy it as much as we did!

Despite the long trip, bus was extremely comfortable with a good driver and good guide. Had one of the best views on the way up to andorra, and guide (Jordi) ensured we had time to take pictures and explained clearly. Jordi ensured we were okay and safe the entire trip, and set clear times on when we should return and the nearest washrooms that were available at each location.
