If you are staying a few days in Barcelona and love scenes like the Amalfi Coast, you will love this day tour. We took the 7am tour. It was 4 of us, me, my husband and two adult sons. We had a wonderful time and Albert was very nice. Before the trip, he sends you an itinerary, weather forecast and answers any questions via WhatsApp. He wanted to make sure we were comfortable and getting the most from our tour. He guides you along the towns picturesque scenery. Uphill, downhill, it’s all so beautiful. Temperature was pleasant and morning was overcast. This made our hike very enjoyable.
Albert took us up one of the steep hikes by car because I have a bad back. He was very thoughtful and aimed to please.
Later we took the glass bottom boat to the caves and toured the coast. Spectacular experience! Albert gave us some fish food and we used it while in the caves. The fish were thrilled to swim side to side giving the other kids on board a fun sight through the glass bottom.
You can also use the fish food when bathing in the water.
We bathed at the stop to get the full Mediterranean experience. The water was crystal clear and very refreshing as the sun had come out.
We took the boat back to Playa Grande were tour started and Albert met us there to give us suggestions for tapas & refreshments. We ate at Vermuteria. Food was delish and service great.
Then we headed to the beach for a little dip.
Albert provides water, towels (if needed) and has a selection of beach games.
After our beach time we headed back to restaurant to change into dry clothes and one last drink.
We walked back to Albert and he drove us safely to our hotel. He is full of fun historical facts and to gives suggestions of great attractions to visit. We gave this tour a 10 out 10. My family LOVED it!

This was such a fun trip and I'm so glad I decided to tag along with some friends to check it out! We did an afternoon tour and were picked up around noon and it was about an hour or so drive to get to Tossa. Once we arrived, we stopped at a little cafe for some coffee and then headed straight to the beach for our scheduled boat tour. On the boat tour, we were taken up the coastline and stopped along the way in some really pretty caves (and our tour guide gave us fish food so we could feed the fish while we were in there!) and then eventually made it to another beach. We decided to stay on the boat so that we would be taken back to town and have the chance to explore the area. After exploring the town and grabbing a bite for lunch, we went on a hike where we could see the view of the whole town. This hike wasn't too bad and could definitely be done in sandals, but definitely would recommend wearing close-toed shoes because, for the latter half of the hike, we were definitely on some rougher terrain, but the views were absolutely worth it! After the hike, we went and checked out the wall/fortress that encloses the old medieval village and walked all throughout, and then eventually grabbed dinner. Overall, I would definitely recommend checking out this tour and doing it in the afternoon! I know the afternoon might be hot, but it was so beautiful to watch the sunset and see the town during the evening hours.

Albert was the absolute best!! He picked us up on time in the morning and made sure we were fully aware of what time to expect him and where he was along the way. He made us feel welcome from the moment we got in the car and he was full of useful knowledge and fun facts about Tossa del Mar. He even gave a great food recommendation for our free time in Tossa del Mar. Cannot recommended enough!!!

Tossa de Mar was top on our list to explore during our visit in Spain and this day tour was the best way to do it! You get to do a nice hike for some amazing views, explore the old town, ride a boat and also get a bunch of free time to explore different beaches, swim, and eat at a restaurant or two. The tour guide was also extremely friendly, easy going, and flexible throughout the tour making for an amazing experience! I highly recommend!

This was an amazing trip. Our hosts were really welcoming and the hike was perfect. The views of the town along the hiking route were among my favorite things. The boat ride and beach time was fun and watching the sunset over Tossa de Mar was icing on the cake. Would totally go this route over larger tours with too many people, especially if you like to meet new people from other places around the world. Thanks for a lovely experience. Would definitely recommend to friends.

Albert and Gracie truly were so lovely!
From the moment I booked the communication was on point.
I chose the 7am trip. Tossa was quite quiet and the hike was beautiful and showed lots of different view points of the medieval walls. The personal touches.... the ice cold water and fish food to feed the fish in the caves was so thoughtful. Lots of free time too! I lay on the beach for over an hour and had a swim, ate lunch and did abit of shopping. Thankyou both for a great trip!
Be organised and wear your swimsuit so ypu can dive in the sea when you arrive!🙌🏼

Albert and Gracy's tour to Tossa de Mar was great! Their timing to each location was on point: we do start early, but it's the best to take pictures before crowds arrive and when the weather is still cool.
We still had lots of free time for exploring or staing by the beach.
I definitely recommend their guided tour.

Really enjoyable trip in a small group (it was only us 2 with the guide and his friend)!
Went on a small boat trip and opted for a hike on our way back with amazing views. Also explored a lesser known path closer to the actual town. We didn't feel any time pressure at all and overall the atmosphere was very friendly. The guide showed us a good place for lunch and was very knowledgeable and keen to answer any questions we had about Tossa de Mar or Barcelona. Would recommend the experience

This trip and Albert were both amazing! We were picked up at the hotel and enjoyed the nice hourish drive to Tossa Del Mar. Driving was such a nice option and Albert knew a ton about the area. We stopped locally for some breakfast before heading on the hiking portion. Be warned - wear good shoes! The hike is uphill and steep in areas. The views were amazing and going early in the day avoided many tourists. From there we hiked back down and then hopped on the glass bottom boat. Albert even provided fish food to help us see more! There were several amazing places to each lunch and then we chose to enjoy the beach for the rest of the afternoon! This was so relaxing and beautiful and the way the day was laid out worked perfectly!
