Great day exploring the Pyrenees Village and local food. - Our recent tour of the Pyrenees with Dan as our guide was nothing short of exceptional. Dan's enthusiasm, knowledge, and passion for the region were evident from the very beginning. He expertly guided us through the charming Pyrenees Village, sharing fascinating historical insights and anecdotes along the way. The hiking trails were breathtaking, offering stunning views of the surrounding mountains and countryside. Dan's attention to detail was truly remarkable. He ensured we had a taste of the local cuisine, introducing us to authentic and delicious dishes. He also went above and beyond, taking captivating pictures of us throughout the day, capturing the essence of our unforgettable experience. Dan's friendly demeanour and warm personality made us feel instantly welcomed and at ease. He was always eager to answer our questions and share his insights about the region. His passion for the Pyrenees was contagious, and he inspired us to appreciate the beauty and cultural richness of this remarkable area. Overall, our tour with Dan was an absolute highlight of our trip to Spain. He is a true gem of a guide, and we highly recommend his services to anyone seeking an authentic and memorable experience in the Pyrenees.

Best tours ever - highly recommend!!!! - We went on 4 incredible tours with Spanish trails. Everything was perfect on all of the tours, from help with choosing the tours to going on the tours. Isabel and Filippo helped us pick the tours that would work best for our family and really help us get a feel for everything Barcelona has to offer and we were so pleased with our choices. Pyrenees Village Hike: Our guide was an incredible host -- told us so much history about Rupit, showed us some incredible views of the town and the Pyrenees, and brought us to the most delicious lunch in town. She was friendly and had endless patience for all of my kids' questions. She volunteered to take pictures of us and we had so much fun exploring with her. Foodie tour: We tried so many really fantastic foods that we wouldn't have known to order -- from bone marrow to fois gras. Everything was so delicious and the wine parings were great as well! Barcelona 8 hour tour: This tour was incredible. Our guide had an architecture background and knew almost every question our kids had about the buildings and the history of Barcelona. We learned so much about the city's history and we hit all of the must see tourist attractions. There is no way we could have learned as much or seen as much on our own. We had a fantastic lunch that day at a restaurant on the water with a beautiful view. The day really was perfect. Kayak tour: We had so much fun on this tour. Our guide was awesome and brought us to some great cliffs for jumping. We had a lovely picnic lunch on the beach. This really was a highlight to see the coastline and beautiful scenery. Overall, we are so glad we put our trust in this company to plan our perfect Barcelona vacation. We hope to go back sometime soon and go on the rest of their tours! Everyone went above and beyond to help us.

Delicious food and wine in the medieval town of rupit - I have been to the pre Pyrenees and Medieval town of Rupit tour with Spanish Trails. We had an amazing tour guide who knew so much about the Spanish and Catalan culture. The tour started with a traditional Catalan breakfast, which I liked a lot. The medieval town was very great to visit. The pre Pyrenees had an amazing view I had never seen in my life before. At the end of the tour we had an amazing Catalan lunch. The restaurant had so much to offer. Firstly we tried a local Catalan wine, which was a great experience. The amount of various meats they offered was unbelievable. This tour gets a 5-stars ranking from me. From food to wine, I experienced the local culture and it was wonderful.

Standout combined excursion, hiking + village visit - We had a terrific family outing with this hike, even with teens! Our guide Samuel had only our family on the tour, but he remained excellent to talk to throughout the day. That included during the drives back and forth to the mountains, which could have been a drag. The breakfast – charcuterie, croissants and coffee – in Rupit was tasty and a great start. His explanations of the history as we strolled through the village were evocative. Then the hike: it had several arresting lookouts, and the waterfall was a marvelous stop. The lunch after the hike was ample and delicious and the busy restaurant was charming, with snappy service. Samuel was always present and ready to engage with us. Ultimately, the combination of the village and the hiking balance very well.

Great Experience - One of the best tours I have ever taken anywhere. I booked a friend on this trip two years ago and she raved about the experience. I had to try it myself and it lived up to every expectatation. The Hike was challenging but well worth it for the incredible views at the end. Lunch in Rupit is among the most memorable I have eaten anywhere in the world. Our phenomenal guide Craig kept us engaged with history and culture on the trip to Rupit and was a great trail guide on the hike. I will definitely do more tours with Craig and with Spanish Trails when I return to Barcelona.
