It was great fun. Easy peasy to find the meet up point by the Musea de Música. There is a lot of walking so if you are not super mobile you might select something else. Carma was fantastic and it was nice to listen to her perspective about the Catalan people. It really is a different experience to be swimming in the water in front of a castle wall from the 11th century.

The food was in a tourist hangouts in Loretta del Mar and not as advertised. My mother didn't get the food hefty, which affected the further course of the trip. The driver is also somewhat turbulent in the residential area thundering over the ground elevation.

Nuria was the best guide!! She went above and beyond to make the tour a memorable experience, providing us with knowledge and laughs along the way. 10/10 would book another tour with her. And the food at the local restaurant was fantastic!!! Even accommodating for dietary restrictions.

This was a really fun experience and we were able to get to two beautiful beaches! We had a fun, quirky guide on the bus and then free time when you got to the destinations. If you are looking for a fully guided tour, this isn’t for you. It is on your own but a great way to get to two different destinations near Barcelona on a day trip. We loved it! The views from the cliffs are priceless and the castle was really neat to walk through. Bring sand shoes in the summer! The beach is pebbled and hot!!

This excursion is a MUST. Trust me guys. I was nervous but it exceeded my expectations. The botanical gardens were so dreamy. And the beach was so beautiful!!!! Seriously stunning. We were here late July. Water was perfect. The old town of Tossa de mar was so picture perfect straight from a story book. Hands down a great experience! Oh, and the lunch provided was soooo good! I got the fresh melons for appetizer and the BBQ for main course. Sooo yummy! And it was so neat to be on an old family farm. 10/10 would recommend this trip! And Nu was our tour guide. She was so amazing!!!! 20 stars to Nu!
