Absolutely breathtaking scenery and fantastic tour guide

5.00This was one of the best tours I have ever experienced. Xavi, the tour guide, was so friendly and knowledgeable and showed me little places only known to the locals which added an extra element of delight to an amazing tour. The scenery was absolutely breathtaking and it was fascinating learning about the history of the villages. All 4 villages were beautiful but Santa Pau and Besalu are outstanding. An absolutely fantastic day. Xavi made the day special by sharing so much background information and by allowing me plentry of time to browse around the towns.
Ramon was a very good...

1.00This was a total waste money! My husband and I were picked up at 8:00 in a car that sat 4. The guide said, in very poor English that he was picking up 2 other people in 2 separate locations. By the time the 4th person was picked up my husband and I were in the car an hour. 3 grown adults squeezed into the backseat meant for 2. I was in the middle between 2 large men! The guide couldn't speak English where you could understand anything he said, he was very soft spoken which made things worse. He played the radio while talking which literally made it impossible to hear anything. All this was brought to his attention by me several times but it was like talking to a wall. By the end of the day, sitting scrunched in the back of the car, this 67 year old could barely straighten up. This guide and company should be ashamed of themselves for not providing an English speaking guide and a vehicle that could manage the amount of adults on the tour. The guide was past his prime, his driving was erratic and very nerve racking. The company stole our money! Do yourself a favor and book with another company!!
Wonderful scenery, history and experienced, outstanding guide.

5.00Ramon is wonderful guide with degree in Spanish history that makes him unique in his explanation of the area you are viewing and the part it played in various stages of history. He makes the tour enlightening and fun. The scenery and towns are beautiful and offer a window into medieval times. Lots of Moorish and Jewish history. We could not have asked for a better one day tour into this region. The restaurant for lunch was good. Pick up at hotel was seamless. This was a great tour and more than we expected!
Great Trip
