Fantastic Tour with an Amazing Guide - This tour was one of the best I have ever done in my life. I loved Girona, its medieval old town and its culture. Calella de Parafrugell was beautiful with blue and clean water. We had a a delicious lunch in front of the sea, the rice with prawns, clams and squids were delicious. Everything was well organised and Josep, our guide was amazing. I 100% recommend this tour.

An amazing day - Met our guide, Josef in Barcelona and had a private tour to Girona and then onto Calella de Palafrugell for lunch and a swim. Great guide with so much information, a wonderful lunch, 3 course with a bottle of local wine and plenty of time for a swim on the beach. A trip not be missed.
