Medieval villages of Catalonia - Unforgettable trip to the past with David! (10/10) I can't recommend this tour enough. If you are looking for an authentic and stress-free experience through the medieval heart of Catalonia, this is the winning option. The best thing about the day, no doubt, was our guide, David. His knowledge, patience and personal touch made history come alive in every corner. You can tell when someone enjoys their work, and David deserves a resounding 10. What made the experience perfect: • Total comfort: Hotel pick-up service is a breeze. You forget maps and transports to simply enjoy from minute one. • Small group: Being few, the dynamic was super fluid and we were able to ask questions and move at our own pace, without the rush of large groups. • Besalú and more: Besalú is a photographic gem, but the other three medieval villages we visited have a charm just as magical and less saturated. • David, the guide: Professional, fun and an expert in discovering the best details of each place.

Great day see Catalonian countryside and it’s Medieval past - Our guide Xavi is super knowledgeable and very pleasant. We went to several Medieval Town in Catalonia . VIC, Santa Pau and Besolu. All three had their own character and charm. Xavi took us to a very nice lunch spot with traditional Catalonian dishes, white beans and sausage , local wine and beer, very tasty! Something we couldn’t get in Barcelona! Highly recommended tour if you want to need real Catalonian medieval towns and countryside!

Rainy day In Medieval Town - The trip Is overall good, very nice towns to visit, medieval style with long history. But just the weather not very good - rains for the whole day, never stops. Our guide David Is perfect! very responsive, kind and patient that will share detailed introduction about the places we go to. The pickup goes directly to your place, but maybe a little bit late than schedule so have a call in advance. Will come again for other oneday trip!
