About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- H3811IXluisb0 contributionsAwesomeGerona free tour was perfect and our guide tour Dani did a fantastic job. The way he explained, things to do and the knowledge about Girona.Written 28 December 2024
- 233jimb0 contributionsGreat tourVery informative, fun, and the local snacks were a treat. Of course, we don't know the actual history so we're assuming everything was mostly factually correct, but even if it wasn't we were told a nice story. The bonus was the excellent lunch suggestion.Written 27 December 2024
- J3018BKcandys0 contributionsThanks our guide “Ventura”Our tour guide “Ventura” is very knowledgeable about Dali and passionate of his work, Ventura brings the museums experience to a whole different level of depth and breadth, I believe everyone in our group really enjoyed! Also he is very friendly & patient with Children & Seniors in our group, I highly recommended having a tour and request if possible to have him as tour guide, really great experience. And the trip is well organized, a must visit for Dali lovers or anyone interested in Art. Wonderful to travel off season, plenty of space and time to enjoy and take photos compared to summer. A few suggestions to the company to have ear phone/ microphone, car ventilation to back seats & maybe separate a smokers or non-smokers group. Over all it was so great I will be back again!Written 21 December 2024
- cellarboy030 contributionsGreat visit to GironaGetting off at the Girona train station and walking to the old part of town left us wondering what we had signed up for. But, once you hit the town square you see the charm of this village. Our guide was Johnny Mark. While many guides in Europe really enhance the experience of a visit, Johnny was a picture of excellence. He was expressive, engaging and entertaining! He really puts himself at the top of what you could hope for in a tour guide.Written 8 December 2024
- Susan O0 contributionsGreat tour of GironaJuan Marc (sp?) was an excellent tour guide - very engaging, excited about his beautiful city, and spoke excellent English. The tour was the perfect length to get a good feel for the city and especially the older quarters. The food stop was for a delicious cream-filled pastry and an interesting local drink. Great tour!Written 5 October 2024
- kmstep0 contributionsHappy we booked with Girona Explorers.Quimi was a wonderful guide. We were driven to Púbol to see Gala’s home, Cadeques, and Port Lligat to see Dali’s home.

The towns we visited were interesting and picturesque. At every turn was another photo opportunity. Gino our guide offered a good amount of history but not so much that you’re overwhelmed. We had plenty of time at each stop and never felt rushed. Our group size was 6 which made it very intimate and easy to maneuver around. I highly recommend this tour!

Our first happy surprise was that it was a private tour with just the three of us (my mum is 77 years) and Gino (our excellent driver and guide). For some reason, I had assumed there would be a bus-load of people.
After that, Gino took us to all the loveliest of places and he was great in terms of information and historical knowledge. He provided us with history and legends of witches and customs in the area. He even gave us a surprise breakfast that we absolutely did not expect.
He was thoughtful and very kind and the day trip itinerary was very well though out. He was entertaining and absolutely on time, when he mentioned he'd be there.
Peratallada was beautiful and Pals was charming. I think Pals had lots more to offer. Begur was lovely, but since we did spend a lot more time in Peratallada and Pals, we had a short stop at Begur.
Calella de Palafrugell was absolutely beautiful and it would be great to have more time there, but we relaxed so much at our lunch by the sea, we did not have much time to explore the scenic walks. He was great at his recommendation on the best places to eat lunch. Enjoyed the day trip and wish it was longer. Glad we did it with Girona Explorers even if we had to get up early to take the train from Barcelona

Lovely countryside and the towns you will be visiting are beautiful and will take you back centuries . To have a leisurely lunch in beautiful Calella (fishing village) , enjoy the village and walk to Llfranc and back is a bit ambitious in 90 min. I would just walk for 5 to 8 minutes and return , you will have a good idea of the coastline. Enjoy

We just spent a fantastic day with Dani and Adriana. They were charming guides, who were very knowledgeable about the areas. Dani was an enthusiastic guide, who paced the day well, was interested in us and pitched information that he thought would suit our interests. The sights were beautiful and free from crowds of visitors and we had lots of free time to explore on our own. At the end of the day we felt we had spent time with local friends, knew much, much more about Catalan history in the area and had had a great deal of fun.

Hello Sandra! Thanks for your comment. This is actually one of the things we try to achieve: that you feel like you’ve been visiting the place with friends, rather than with guides. We think this way you can get a better feeling of the place, our history and culture, and character. Thank you for coming!

I will be in Barcelona with a family group in April 2020. Can we book a trip with you and have a slightly later departure time, i.e. 10:30 instead of 9:30, for "Medieval Costa Brava Day-Trip from Girona" ?

Hola! Solo tienen guía de habla inglesa? No tienen en español?
Tienen algún tour que se detenga más en Pals y Peratallada que en otros lugares? Gracias!
