5.00Today was exceptional. Sergio was the best of everything - informative, thoughtful, and kind. We learned so much about the three villages and the surrounding area. If allowed, we would book every tour with Sergio. Thank you for a wonderful day that also included hiking, relaxation, and great food.
The highlight of our time in Barcelona

5.00I booked this day trip rushing away from the heatwave and hustle and bustle of the city. Oh my I’m so glad I did, the entire day went smoothly since the beginning to the end and the experience was unforgettable. Guillermo made our day enjoyable and educational. We enjoyed these charming medieval towns very much. It was a pleasant day full of beautiful scenery and serenity. Our guide Guillermo kept us upbeat the entire time and even took the best pictures for us. I recommend the lunch at Estrella restaurant in Rupit. It is a Michelin authentic Catalan cuisine with reasonable prices . The owners are the nicest people. Our day in the three medieval towns were magic and felt like we were in a novel book. We were not only in touch with history but also with pure nature. This tour is highly recommended and please ask for Guillermo, he is fantastic
