Amazing tour with Nu to beautiful Girona, Paels and Costa Brava - It was a great escape from the craziness of the city. Our guide Nuri made it a fantastic experience. She was very informative and was able to guide us through an amazing journey. She gave us inside about all the historic places we saw. She was very professional and everything was organized really well. We really enjoyed this tour!!

Real life Game of Thrones - We spent the day exploring Catalunya on an incredible tour! It was amazing to hear and feel the rich history all around us — and so cool to see a Game of Thrones filming location in real life. Huge thanks to our guide, Rod, whose animated and immersive storytelling made the experience unforgettable!

Rod was the best tour guide! - Rod was our guide and he truly made the trip our best excursion during our time in Spain. We leaved so much about Girona and costa brava and Rod was so knowledgeable about everything and answered all our questions. Would highly recommend this trip to anyone who wants to learn and see history as well as have some time to relax on the beach in costa brava.

An interesting day, but could’ve been better. I would recommend it, but would suggest a more engaging/informative guide. - It visits 3 interesting towns and they were worthwhile. Guide was not that engaging and there was quite a bit of driving with little Information Given during the drive.

Tours to the Costa Brava efficiently - It was nice to be able to visit three places in a day where it might be difficult to get to if you were an individual. Since it is an English tour, there are some aspects that cannot be enjoyed without being able to hear English, but the guide showed me carefully and I enjoyed it!
