Private: Girona and Costa Brava adventure from Barcelona
Overview
Available languages
9 hours
Mobile ticket
The goal of this day trip is to take you away from the hustle and bustle of Barcelona with your family or friends, in a private way, to let you enjoy the Mediterranean breeze.
As soon as we leave Barcelona we immerse ourselves in the Catalan countryside. The first stop is Girona (Game of Thrones?). A perfect mix of history, architecture, and...food! We will take a nice stroll through the narrow streets of the Old Town and the Roman Walls.
Right after we will move into the Catalan Countryside, we deserve to be surrounded by nature. The second stop is Peratallada, probably the most charming and less-known medieval village in the Empordà region. A nice stroll around and a few pictures later we will take you for lunch at Calella de Palafrugell, an old fishing village formed by several coves that still preserve the charm of the villages of the area, with narrow streets and some traditional two-floor fishermen’s dwellings.

You Should Book This Awesome Tour!

5.00We signed up for this trip a few weeks before our departure and the registration was fast and simple. We received meeting instructions, and on the day of the tour, we met on time by our guide. Giulio was an amazing guide. It's about an hour van ride to the first destination, and he provided great historical information that kept us entertained during our trip. Once we arrived in Girona, our first destination was brief stop at a fantastic local bakery to get everyone ready for the tour. The tour immediately started then with a brief walk to the Eiffel Bridge, and then many really fascinating locations through the older part of Girona. It was absolutely beautiful. We loved all of the Girona portion, and Giulio again provided some very helpful history of Girona and Spain in general. Next stop for this Costa Brava tour was a very small but truly beautiful village of Peratallada. Very small town, but you immediately get the vibe of the village. We spent about 45 minutes there (a few minutes included enjoying a spectacular vermut from a store owner) before we headed to the gorgeous coastal town of Calella de Palafrugell. Simply stunning! A bucket list place to see and visit. We spent quite a bit of time enjoying the sea here. This was just fabulous. This tour was likely the highlight of our entire vacation. My wife and I can't stop talking about everything was saw and did on this tour. I only wish we could have spent this tour over the course of a few weeks. These tour stops were just incredible, and we'd like to do this again.
Amazing experience!

5.00It was one of the highlights of our trip. Carlos was fantastic. He was patient and kind/ never rushing us and making sure we had many bathroom breaks. The history was excellent and not too little it too much. He connected with everyone in our group.
Perfect day

5.00This was by far my favorite day of our Barcelona trip and Daniel is one of the main reasons. He shared his knowledge of Catalan history, culture and politics in an informative and entertaining way. The day was well spaced with free time in between stops. Girona was beautiful but a LOT of steps and steep parts so be warned if you’re not in good shape! We stopped at a pretty medieval village and had vermut (optional)which was surprisingly delicious. My favorite place was the seaside village where we had a marvelous lunch and got to enjoy the Mediterranean. Daniel was easy going but kept things on track. I can’t recommend this trip enough and if you decide to book it see if you can get Daniel as a guide you won’t regret it
Fantastic tour
