About the operator
- leonetter202300A Wonderful Day!!From the moment our guide picked us up at our apartment, the day was amazing. Adrian our guide was extremely knowledge, attentive to our group and had an excellent command of the English language. The day was filled with beautiful scenery and great things to check out and food to eat. Thank you so much. I truly enjoyed it!!
- L4181ABtimothyc00A spectacular tour of the PyreneesThis was our favorite tour of our trip. We can't imagine a better tour guide than Adrian! He is very personable and professional. His detailed knowledge of the entire area from Barcelona through Andorra and the Pyrenees is impressive and helped put the sights we experienced into historical perspective. We will recommend this trip, and Adrian in particular, to all our friends.
- suehI7845PJ00Fantastic tourThis is an amazing tour, made even better by our guide, Adrian. He is very knowledgeable about the area and extremely considerate. You know that Adrian wants you to have the best experience possible.
- annmI6713GX00Fantastic full day excursion from BarcelonaVisiting three countries in one day was a highlight of our vacation. What made this magnificent trip even more special was our tour guide Adrian. He is extremely knowledgeable about all three countries and offered extra stops along the way to highlight the region. Adrian was so considerate of our group of six women having a cooler ready for our cheese and wine purchases, towels for drying after dipping our feet into the thermal springs, hand sanitizer at the ready, and giving us plenty of time at each stop. Thank you Adrian for making this a truly memorable experience. As to the trip, it was a once in a lifetime excursion. The town of Baga Spain with its rich history, crossing the magnificent Pyrenees, Ax d’Thermes France, the spectacular country of Andorra were all well worth the 13 hour day. Book this trip. You’ll be happy you did!
- nataliyat202300A Once in a Lifetime ExperienceOut of our whole 10 day trip, this tour was by far our favorite. Adrian picked us up in a timely manner and gave us a brief summary of the plans for the entire day. On our way to the Pyrenees, he took us via the most picturesque roads and answered any questions we had on the history of this beautiful country. He offered to stop at the most scenic spots and offered to take as many pictures as we requested. Let me tell you, this man is one gifted photographer, every picture looked as if it was straight out of a magazine. One of out first stops was the old town of Baga, where Adrian took us on an excursion and we were absolutely wowed by the gorgeous scenery. Our first stop in France was glorious and to top it off Adrian took us to this market that had the most amazing pastries. After we had crossed over to Andorra, Adrian educated us on the history of the country and how it is actually voted as on of the best places to live in Europe due to low crime, cheap prices, and top notch healthcare and education. My whole family and I were shocked as before this trip, we did not know a country like this even existed. Andorra itself is a whole other essay topic that I could write about; however, I will just quickly say it was an absolute privilege and honor to visit. Adrian's lunch recommendation was also quite on point; the steak was delicious and it had the best sangria that I tasted during my whole trip. After we visited our souvenir shop, Adrian helped packed our items in bubble wrap and ensured we were satisfied during the entire trip. My mom was just blown away with his service. To complete our day, we were taken shopping and Adrian ensured there was no rush and to take as much time as we needed. People only experience these type of trips once in their lifetime and I highly recommend for anyone to invest in it. The amount of service and kindness you receive is truly unmatched and very rare to find (even with pricy trips). Overall, the company itself is very professional. The following day after I booked my trip, I received a personalized confirmation email from Samuel, who ensured me that everything would be taken care of. Please do yourself a favor and consider this trip, you will not regret one bit. Thank you Adrian and thank you Barcelona-Y-Day Trips for giving me and my family memories that we will forever cherish.
- Seaside75535400This is the BEST of the best!This was absolutely the BEST tour we took during our two week vacation! Adrian was an outstanding guide! He was on time, informative, intuitive, humorous, and friendly. We even invited Adrian to visit us in Florida! Everything about the day was superb! Your company should be extremely happy to have Adrian as an employee!
- raisamacleod00Amazing Day Trip to AndorraOur trip was amazing. Adrian is hands down the best tour guide and we’ve had the pleasure of spending an incredible day in this wonderful tour. Adrian’s knowledge and personality made us not just enjoy but also learn so much about the cultures and history of Barcelona and Andorra. He shared with us many hidden gems and photo stops - places we would never have thought to go on our own! We will certainly be back and will coordinate with Adrian anything he recommends. Thank you!!
- S5914NVjamies00WOW - the highlight of our time in Catalonia!This trip was the unexpected highlight of our time in Barcelona. What really made it special was our guide, Adrian, who was incredibly knowledgeable about the region. Adrian took such good care of us, and really listened to our family and found stops that corresponded with our interests, and informed us of so many historical and cultural things that were of specific interest to us. Besides just breathtaking views of the Pyrenees, a stop in a fascinating Medieval village, great food, and wonderful sight-seeing in Andorra, we felt really taken care of, educated, AND we had a great time. The lunch of aged beef that we cooked ourselves on a hot stone was awesome, and unexpectedly meeting a puppet-maker and touring his workshop in Baga were highlights.
- Lovetravelling80800Superb guide with so ma y memorable experiences.It was great. One of the best tours of our lives. The choices of locations for food viewpoints demonstrates the guides experience.
- bti1700Great Trip to Girona and Costa BravaThe day with Adrian was great. He had great communication, was prompt, knowledgeable, and very friendly.
- H8363MMchristinak00Amazing day!We were slightly hesitant to book this tour because of price. But, after reading all of the reviews we decided to go for it and we are so thankful that we did! This tour was the highlight of our week. We saw so many different towns and villages, each with an amazing history, the views were spectacular and Adrian was very knowledgeable of the areas we were touring. He gave us the history of each place that we visited and he shared pictures and diagrams to tie the whole tour together beautifully. Adrian was quick to point out where to stand for the best photos! The kids loved shopping in Andorra, the pastries in France and driving to the highest point in Tour de France.
- kvanderdussen00Unforgettable Day TripI was on the fence about this day trip for Barcelona, but within a very short period of time I was so glad we went. The length of the trip is daunting and you don't hear much about Andorra, but Adrian has done an amazing job of putting this tour together. You do have to pass through France to get there, but it's not even a trip highlight. You take a stop for a lovely view of Montserrat-one we didn't see when we had traveled there the day before! The first main stop is in Braga, an 8th century medieval town. There Adrian provided us with a context for the importance of Catalunya for Spain that was missing in eveverything I had read or watched prior to the trip. We went on a handful of tours during our three weeks in Spain, but this was by far the most well curated. He took us to another spot that had a special connection between Catalunya and the US during WWII. It was such a great and interesting story. Andorra then did not disappoint. He took us to a wonderful spot for an amazing lunch and to a shop for tastings of locally made spirits and food. We then went to the old historic part of Andorra It was beautiful, he provided a wonderful understanding of the history of the country and all it has to offer. It was an unforgettable day and I HIGHLY recommend you consider it. The 12 hours flew by us. I want to also mention that our son was injured on this vacation-he had a severe sprain and Adrian was super thoughtful and accommodating. If you have the time GO! Very worth it. Thanks again Adrian for a wonderful day for us.
- kf93000Amazing adventure seeing a place most people have never heard ofAdrian was an amazing guide. Great knowledge of things to do and see along the route as well as knowledge of Andorra and France. It’s a long day but very worthwhile. Could not recommend this enough.
- Quest1498377622500Best guided tour!We had an amazing time! Adrian was very accommodating, knowledgeable and took great pictures of our family 😊 The tour to Andorra and French Pyranees was our best guided tour in Barcelona thanks to Adrian. We highly recommend this tour.
- ChloeB117600Absolutely recommendAdrian our guide was extremely knowledgeable and so accommodating! He never rushed us at any stop, even when the tour ran a bit longer than what was planned. He tailored the tour to our own little stops and took great photos for us to remember. Would absolutely recommend!

Monserrat is amazing! This was a second trip to Montserrat for my husband and I, and the first for our friends. We had a wonderful day! Our tour guide was Adrian from Barcelona y Day Trips , and he was excellent! He picked us up in a spotlessly clean and fresh-smelling Mercedes minivan. Great communication the day before the trip. He asked what we wanted to see, and if we had any special requests. I noted that one of my friends and I are prone to motion sickness. I was aware that the road up to the top of the mountain is winding. I asked him to drive especially slowly for us, and he did so both up and down the mountain despite cars passing us impatiently. I couldn’t have asked for more consideration. He was very flexible in terms of what we wanted to do while we were there. He already had all of the tickets for our admissions for the various activities lined up and assisted us with skip the line entry for the Monastery and the boys choir. We had good seats for the boys choir and very much enjoyed it since we had missed it last August on our first trip as they do not perform in August. We had a beautiful clear day and really enjoyed the views and a hike to the cross and were able to have time to see the museum and the shops. I texted him when we were ready per his instructions and he was right there within five minutes to pick us up at the designated location. Driving there and back, he had wonderful insights on anything we asked and the many sights that he showed us. I would highly recommend this private group tour if you want control over your day and do not want to ride in a bus with a large group of strangers.

Had a wonderful Sunday private tour of Montserrat with Adrian. In the time of Covid, we preferred the private transportation. As planned, he picked us up from our vrbo apartment in Gothic Quarter. Adrian arrived on time in an immaculate white Mercedes van. Adrian was engaging with our group of 5 adults without being intrusive. Thoroughly enjoyed our time with him. He (and his office) also assisted getting us into a locals’ favorite restaurant for lunch THAT afternoon. Highly endorse Adrian as a private guide!

Our guide Adrian was phenomenal and so experienced with vast knowledge of the tour and the history of the Montserrat Monastery. He was an expert driver and his wonderful personality made the trip terrific. He was engaging and animated and with a great sense of humor that made for a very interesting and joyous day!!
His level of expertise and professionalism is a rare gem in our experience in travel throughout Europe.

We truly enjoyed our 5 hr tour with our guide Adrian.
He was very personable and informative.
We asked him many questions about Barcelona during our drive and he was very helpful in answering all of them, including recommendations for some restaurants we were asking about.
He was on time to pick us up at our hotel.
I had to send an email about changing our pick up location and received an immediate reply.
Also text messaged us the day before to remind us of our pick up time.
The vehicle was very comfortable and clean and we felt safe with Adrian driving.
We had many chances for photo stops during the day and Adrian always assisted us with a recommendation on the best place to stand to take the picture and also took pictures of us so we could all be in the picture. He definitely made the tour interesting for young adults in the group.
The day was flexible to what we wanted to see and how much free time we wanted to explore on our own at the last part of the day.
I felt that the tour was priced very well and the right amount of time for us. We did not want a tour that was a full day.
I definitely recommend taking this private tour from Barcelona.

Today, we had an excellent tour with Adrian! He was highly knowledgeable and accommodated our needs very well! We visited the Montserrat monastery, one of the most holy sites in Spain. We saw the “miraculous” black Mary figure, and watched the boys choir of this monastery sing a concert. This religious site is located in a mountainous region, so we took a monorail to the top! Our monorail car went up the mountain at a sixty-five degree incline! One cool part was getting to light a candle near the church! It’s my favorite thing to do when I visit churches. I was able to see small pieces of paper that people had written prayer requests on and folded up and placed in between the rock crevices. Overall, it was an excellent experience that I highly recommend!

I am so grateful we were able to book this private tour with Adrian as our guide!! In my opinion, this is the best way to see Montserrat, especially if you would like to see the Black Madonna and hear the boys’ choir — as you don’t need to worry about the logistics of getting the special tickets & timing everything, nor transportation. Adrian was the perfect guide - you can tell he is a seasoned professional as he handles all the little details in such an expert way. His stories and knowledge elevated our Montserrat experience! We were lucky enough to ride the funicular and see the ending of a special mass as well. Adrian was so professional and courteous - you will absolutely be lucky to take this tour! He also took some beautiful photos for us so we could remember this day. Montserrat is so gorgeous. Everything including booking was seamless.

Adrian was a wonderful guide - very knowledgeable and attended to our every need. He communicated in advance, arrived on time, was polite and a good driver and offered to take our picture a number of times. Monserrat is worth a day away from Barcelona, particularly with a guide who is very knowledgeable and was able to answer all our questions. He also allowed us free time on our own and on the way home gave suggestions for other things to see in Barcelona.

Our tour of Montserrat was incredible. The monastery is a beautiful special place to visit; however, having Adrian guide us, share the history, and bring the alive the stories and legends was special.
If you can, tour the facility with Adrian. Not only for his knowledge and insight but for the very safe private transport and VIP access to help avoid long waits.
Without doubt the best private tour we have ever been on - Adrian ensured we got front seats to enjoy the incredible boys choir…..A memory that is priceless.

We had a fabulous guide named Adrian who picked us up at the cruise terminal and drove us up to Montserrat for the day. My husband had recently suffered a back injury and Adrian was very attentive to his needs and comfort. Adrian was able to get us inside the chapel for Easter mass while up there, he was also able to get us special access for infirm people to see the black Madonna up close. Because this was
Our first day in Barcelona, Adrian also gave us good advice about places to eat and apps for cabs. He also pointed out sights on the way back into town where he dropped us at our hotel. We have traveled all seven continents and had many tour guides, Adrian is one of the best!

Adrian was a fantastic guide. He picked us up at our hotel and he filled our heads with wonderful facts about Barcelona on the way to Montserrat. Once there he told us all about the monastery and the black virgin. He also arranged for us to get to sit in the sanctuary and listen to the boys’ choir. He was very personable and spoke excellent English. He never rushed us and let us wander around the grounds as long as we wanted to. He even brought a cooler to keep our cheese purchases nice and cold as we were wandering around. I highly recommend him as a private guide to Montserrat.

I was pretty much a full day tour. We were picked up at our hotel at 10:00 a.m. AND, after visiting Montserrat, our driver took us to a great overlook view of the city of Barcelona and a quick stop at the Olympic stadium venue. It was a great experience. D
