From Barcelona: 3 Countries in One Day — Spain, France & Andorra
Overview
Available languages
12 hours 30 minutes
Mobile ticket
Cross three international borders in one unforgettable day. This is the original Barcelona day trip - Spain, France, and Andorra - and we've just made it even better.
Start in the medieval village of Bagà, nestled in the Pyrenean foothills. Cross into France for a stop at one of the most extraordinary supermarkets you'll ever visit, a mountain Carrefour with ski gondolas hanging from the ceiling and shelves stacked with French wines, cheeses, and butters. Then continue to La Tour de Querol, a quiet French village where your guide tells the story of the border that divided Catalonia in two.
From there, we climb to 2,408 metres over the Port d'Envalira, the highest paved road in the Pyrenees, before descending into Andorra la Vella with two full hours to explore, shop, and eat.
You don’t just visit Andorra, you cross the entire country, entering from France and exiting into Spain in one unforgettable afternoon. The route includes spectacular mountain scenery throughout the day too.

5.00Enjoyed seeing all the sights of 3 countries and not having to drive 😁. Was able to see and experience places I would not have imagined possible. Pablo was knowledgeable about each place and willing to help with anything.
Lovely day

5.00It was a lovely day. The bus was comfortable and Guillermo and the bus driver were great. The small towns we visited were the most interesting of the day and I would have preferred to see more of them rather than spend 2 hours in the city of Andorra — it’s just a big shopping center with ugly architecture.

5.00We had a very fun and engaging tour guide named Pablo with excellent driver David. Our group was small, so Pablo was able to make a little extra stop in a small village in France before we got to Andorra. Great trip. When he tells you to try the coca pastry in Baga, do it! Sweet and tasty. Learned a lot about Catalanya. He entertained us on the bus with fun music. But the unique thing is, he encouraged those who had the time in Barcelona to make a stop at the Palau de la Musica. Do it!! It’s fantastic. He also helped me plan an itinerary for the rest of our free day in Barcelona. Personal service!

5.00The tour guide (Alex) made this trip a very fun day. He was very knowledgeable about all our destinations-and places that we drove past. He also gave us information on local flora and fauna and kept us entertained throughout. Our bus driver (Alex) was also really good. He drove the bus very smoothly and kept us safe and in comfort for the entire trip.
Generally disappointed with the itinerary.

3.00Too hectic at times! The stop at Carrefour can very well be dispensed with. It's a complete waste of time, and that time lost there could be augmented to the limited time in Andorra. After all for many of us Andorra was the highlight of this tour. Alex our Guide and Alex our Driver were both absolutely fantastic. I took this same tour with another tour operator and the places visited were more in line with the ones visited now. I would like to stress that this is my own personal opinion and given as constructive criticism.
