Besalu etc.

Published on Nov, 2024

Walking in Besalu. Appreciated that guide stopped to let us make a quick shopping purchase. Delicious lunch.

Highly recommend Xavi and the nice variety on offer

Published on Oct, 2024

Xavi was friendly and knowledgeable. He gave us a great tour! The day had a nice variety of medieval towns, cathedrals, history and walks up into a volcanic caldera and by the lake. Carmen was a great driver and also very friendly. The countryside was beautiful and I definitely recommend this tour.

Loved this tour

Published on Sep, 2024

We had a wonderful time. We visited several places, all of which were unique and beautiful. Our guides, Julia and Alex, were fantastic. They were knowledgeable, provided a safe & fun experience, and we never felt rushed to move on to the next thing. The trip included a variety of activities - hiking, walking through the medieval towns, learning a lot about the area's history & culture, eating local food, opportunities to shop (if desired), and relaxing by a beautiful lake. The trip does involve a lot of walking & it's not all on flat ground so that's something to keep in mind when considering if it's right for you.

Perfect Day Out

Published on Sep, 2024

A great experience visiting the small picturesque medieval towns - Besalu, Santa Pau, Castellfollit De La Roca - hiking up a volcano and having a 4 course lunch, and to finish off, a short stroll along the Banyoles lake. The towns were what I was most looking forward to and they surely did not disappoint! What a stunning part of the country steeped in so much history! Our guide Pete did not stutter in telling us all about the history here, he was perfect, charismatic, funny, and very passionate about the historical and present day Catalonia! If ever we are back in Girona this company will be first choice for exploring! Save the Castle! Thanks for a great day Pete! Ailsa & Christian

Great day out from Girona
