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
A delightful day in the hills

5.00An excellent tour in the hill country visiting three small and very pretty historic towns. We had plenty of time to see the towns and our guide Martha was well informed and a very pleasant companion throughout. Her local knowledge and connections increased the enjoyment of the day. Be prepared for some walking and steps but all very manageable
What a fabulous day!

There was so much interesting history, especially Rupit. Our guide was very friendly, charming, and a wealth of knowledge for our small group.
