5.00It’s cold in the mountains so wear long pants & take a jacket & umbrella. We wish we had more free time in Basalu to check out the many shops. Our guide, William, was very nice & knowledgeable, offering many touring & restaurant suggestions
Do it!

5.00Love, loved, loved this tour! Seeing the country side of Spain was absolutely beautiful. And our personal tour guide?! AMAZING! I’m kicking myself for not remembering his name, but he was so friendly, informative, and gave us the perfect tour experience outside of the big city. Highly recommend this tour! We first drove to Besalu, and were given some history of the area. We then went to Rupit and had a delicious lunch (own expense). Finally, we saw much of the countryside as we stopped in Tavertet - which wasn’t much, but it did have one of my favorite little historic churches that we saw on our trip. And the best part - it was just me and my family in a regular van, not a big tour group, so we were able to spend time the way we wanted. Highly recommend!!
Medieval villages - absolutely great day trip!

5.00We had a great time on this tour. The group size was good and we felt like we spent enough time at each spot to get to walk around and explore a bit on our own. Your guide was really nice and informative. Highly recommend!
