Additional Information

The purpose of this day trip is to whisk you away from the buzzing energy of Barcelona, allowing you to bask in the Mediterranean air. This trip is designed with lovers of the great outdoors, art, and nature, in mind.

Upon departing Barcelona, we plunge straight into the rural landscapes of Catalonia. First up is Girona, an ideal blend of history, architecture, and culinary delights. This is a city famous for featuring in Game of Thrones, where you will be able to wander through the intricate alleyways and imposing Roman Walls of the Old Town.

From there, we journey into the heart of the Catalan Countryside to appreciate its natural beauty. The next stop is Peratallada, quite possibly the most enchanting yet under-the-radar medieval village in the Empordà region. After a bit of exploration and photography, we guide you to Calella de Palafrugell for lunch. Originating as a fishing hamlet, it’s split into several coves, and still retains the quaint charm of original narrow streets and characteristic two-storey fishing houses. Ready to embark?

Small group tour away from the city! - It was an absolutely amazing trip away from the hustle and bustle of Barcelona. Carlos was our guide, he was accommodating to everyone’s needs and was very interactive with all in the small group we had! We got to see the countryside and learned history from Carlos. The beach stop at Costa Brava was amazing. Would definitely recommend this tour for anyone!

Girona, costa Brava - Experience was fun. Antoine was knowledgeable and fluent in multiple languages. Definitely felt like we needed more time in Girona to explore because it was so beautiful. Would request Antoine again as a tour guide for sure.

20th Anniversary trip to see Girona, Peratallada & Costa Brava Day Trip from Barcelona. - My husband and I had the best tour with Danny. We went to Girona, Peratallada & Costa Brava (Calella de Palafrugell) . The small group tour (6 people plus Danny) was a highlight of our trip to Spain. Thank you Danny for all your tips & personal details of you home country of Spain. You are a bright light with a passion for all things Catalan. We were picked up in front of the Nike store in Barcelona at 8:30am in a clean comfortable air conditioned van. Danny took us for coffee/ juice and xuixo (amazing pastry) in Girona. He shared the history & walked us around the beautiful city. Then we went to the small medieval town of Peratallada. What a storybook town. I could not stop taking pictures around each corner. We stopped and had a drink and snack at a local restaurant with the group (optional- but highly recommended) Then climbed the tower to get a Birds Eye view of the 12-15th century town. Danny was the perfect host, sharing history of olive trees and introducing us to his local friend. Then we drove to the picture perfect town of Palafrugell. Danny booked us a reservation at am amazing Italian restaurant overlooking the sea (optional- but highly recommended). Then we had free time to swim and explore the beautiful seaside town. We relaxed in the van on our drive back to Barcelona. We had a great group of people that made the day one to remember. Book a trip with Danny - he is the best tour guide- great driver, energetic, fun and always answered all our questions. Thanks again Danny ! Your friends from California.

Best day tour close to Barcelona - A great day trip to get away from the city of Barcelona. Dani was a great guide, very friendly and knowledgeable. We were able to take pictures and took us to a couple local places. I would highly recommend to book with Dani and do any other tours. Great as a solo traveler!
