Loved it! - Claudia was an excellent guide. She drove the van and gave a commentary on both English and Spanish. The visits to the small towns were lovely, and the restaurant meal was excellent. Highly recommended!

Besalu trip - Our guide Claudia was very knowledgeable and fun to talk to. Even though it rained we had a great time and saw things we normally would not have seen.

Rewarding intimate tour. - Wonderful intimate bus and walking tour with a fabulous (but not expensive) meal not included to refuel in the middle! Claudia's English was excellent and there were plenty of local insights into the area and the gorgeous countryside & historic buildings. Thank you also for the extra care taken with my friend who had suffered a fall the week before the tour. Not attaching a photo- experience the sights in person :)

Highly recommend this tour mountain volcano and church well worth the visit trek in not to bad. San Paulu is a very interesting place to visit I would like to see the castle renovation at some time. Belsalu banyoles also very interesting

Thank you for a nice day. - We spent a lovely day with Quim and a nice driver. I’m sorry I forgot her name. My 20 year old son and I were in a group with one other traveler from the states. Instructions and pre-tour communication was very straightforward. The day was spent following the itinerary listed. The weather was warm and the hike was a bit tough in some parts but completely manageable. We had an excellent lunch with nice portions. We were picked up and dropped off at the bottom on the cathedral steps. My son and I both enjoyed the day.
