Of course, one had to have a nice weather ro enjoy completely this trip. That one was checked. Another very important element is a guide (and the driver). Ours was Pau and he made our day really memorable. Knowledgable, informative, helpful, we enjoyed his comentaries and guidanance. Our trip took place out of the high season. Positive things were no tourist crowds, moderate temperature, autumn feel in the nature. Besalu, Castle on the Rock,volcano, Santa Pau, Banyoles may be condensed to have in one go but otherwise you will miss one or more of them. Anyhow , this is to have a taste of those places ans you can decide to return to some of them one day for a longer exploration. Recommendes lunch place was great, food even offered as a menu was excellent and greatly priced. Definitelly recommended tour Nd knce again thank you Pau.
Loved it!

Claudia was an excellent guide. She drove the van and gave a commentary on both English and Spanish. The visits to the small towns were lovely, and the restaurant meal was excellent. Highly recommended!

Our guide Claudia was excellent: very personable with a vast knowledge of the towns and their extensive history: the hike to the volcano floor was memorable.

Wonderful intimate bus and walking tour with a fabulous (but not expensive) meal not included to refuel in the middle! Claudia's English was excellent and there were plenty of local insights into the area and the gorgeous countryside & historic buildings. Thank you also for the extra care taken with my friend who had suffered a fall the week before the tour. Not attaching a photo- experience the sights in person :)
Great tour and experience

Fantastic tour and tour guide Claudia gave us so much information about the areas we visited and at the meal which was fantastic she gave us her recommendation of fidua oppose to paella which was amazing. Highly recommend this tour mountain volcano and church well worth the visit trek in not to bad. San Paulu is a very interesting place to visit I would like to see the castle renovation at some time. Belsalu banyoles also very interesting
