Great tour through three countries in one day - 🚍From Barcelona there are a number of incredible tour options to different cities and countries. And that's exactly what we did. 🇪🇸🇫🇷🇦🇩Have you ever thought about visiting three countries in just a single day? We woke up early and went on this super adventure on the Spain, France and Andorra route with Explore Catalunya, one of the main tour companies in the region. Is unforgettable. ⚜️We started the tour very early at the Explore Catalunya headquarters, the meeting point for the tour. It is opposite the Palau de La Música, one of the most famous tourist attractions in the city. 🛖The first stop is the Spanish city of Bagà, a medieval village in Catalonia. The place is welcoming, with great options for a coffee and a chocolate-filled croissant. 🏔️The narrow alleys and stone houses create the perfect combination with the snow-covered mountains in the background. There is also a small central area with the 15th century Sant Esteve church and commercial establishments. Be sure to walk along Rua da Muralha. ❄️After the Spanish city of Bagà, it's time to go to France. The second stop on the @catalunyaexplore tour was in the enchanting and beautiful Pyrenees region. It's time to get to know the charming town of Maire de Bourg-Madame. 💒The cold mountain climate is present in this cozy corner, with local craft and gastronomy shops. The Explore Catalunya guide gives a tour rich in history and even introduced local delicacies, such as the unique cheeses and sausages. We love it. 🏔️Another interesting point in this iconic French village was Sant Marti d’lx, a 12th century church. The city is in the region called Cerdanha, in the heart of the Pyrenees. It's called Pyrenees-Cerdagne. The city also has the border between Spain and France. On the way, memorable views of the Pyrenean Alps. 👑It's time to get to know Andorra, a small principality between France and Spain. Our destination was the capital of the country, the city called Andorra la Vella. 🇦🇩This is our third stop on the Explore Catalunya tour, which has already visited Bagà, in Spain, and Maire de Bourg-Madame, in France. 💹The capital brings together hundreds of clothing, beverage and perfume stores, as well as a variety of restaurant options. Andorra is known for not charging taxes, which attracts tourists from around the world. 🛂So, stay tuned: Andorra has a shopping quota per tourist and it is mandatory to bring your passport. 🏛️Andorra is unique: it brings together the best of the world for tourists, with shopping (at really tempting prices), restaurants and iconic views among the mountains. 🛍️In the capital of Andorra, start the tour on Avenida Meritxell. Sant Esteve is the starting point. It is a Roman vestige from the 17th century. Follow the alleys admiring works such as the Angel del Trapézi, the Casa de La Vall and the Council headquarters, with a view of the upper part of the city. 🖼️Also admire the sculpture ‘Nobility of Time’, by Salvador Dali, a kind of landmark in the capital. ⚡️Then the tip is to take a few steps and follow Avenida Carlemany and get lost in the shops. The prices are attractive. Therefore, don't forget the quotas, as there is customs inspection when leaving the country. 🛣️On the way to Andorra, the Explore Catalunya bus travels through memorable roads between the mountains.

Very good full day trip from Barcelona - Very nice trip out of Barcelona to see the countryside and mountains out of Barcelona. Nice stops in Baga (Spain) and Ax les Thermes (France), on the way to Andorra. Sergio was an excellent guide, providing a lot of information and history of the Catalunya region and Andorra. He also provided a lot of information about Barcelona.

Worth it! - Martha was our guide, she was very knowledgeable and explained everything well. She made sure we enjoyed our tour and helped us take great pictures. We had enough free time during each stop to enjoy Ax les Thermes and Andorra La Vella.

What a wonderful adventure! - Everything about this trip was wonderful. Best guide ever, safe driver and a great overview of the area as we left and returned to Barcelona. Each stop included an opportunity to explore the area along with insights from our guide. The logistics, bus and schedule all ran smoothly. This trip exceeded my expectations and I would go again with others if I find myself in Barcelona again. I highly recommend this trip!

YAY! 3 Countries in One Day! - I really enjoyed this tour. 3 Countries in One Day! YAY! Jordi the tour guide was awesome! Knowledgeable, personable, articulate and friendly! Sometimes I wish he was accessible when we were on our own, but things worked out. Great tour, great sites. This tour is a must do if you go to Barcelona. It is a long day (12 hours) so if you have time skip a day between excursions. The bus is large, and climate controlled with ample restroom stops. The photos on this tour are priceless! Oh yeah Lydia, the bus driver was awesome! :-)
