Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"If you have any doubt, you must do this kayaking tour!! It was my family's favorite experience of our entire trip. Stepan is so kind and made sure the day is absolutely fantastic. My adventurous teen even got to a chance to cliff dive, while my more timid son discovered all kinds of nature on our hike and kayaking adventure. We could not recommend more!"
"We went on a private tour with Antonio to Costa Brava. It was absolutely amazing! Antonio is a personable, knowledgeable guide and was very flexible with the possible itineraries. He was very focused on our enjoyment and satisfaction. His recommendations were also spot on. We would wholeheartedly recommend Antonio to anyone who is considering a day trip to Costa Brava. Definitely a 5-star experience!!!"
"We had an absolutely fantastic day with Antonio exploring Girona, a beautiful medieval village, and the stunning Costa Brava. The day was perfectly balanced - starting with a wonderful cycle around Girona, weaving through its historic streets and along the paths, then moving on to explore charming villages and breathtaking coastal views. Antonio was an exceptional guide - friendly, knowledgeable, and completely flexible. He tailored the day to our interests, gave us time to explore at our own pace, and shared so many fascinating insights along the way. Nothing felt rushed or scripted; it was personal, relaxed, and full of memorable moments. We finished the day at the coast, soaking up the sun and the scenery- the perfect end to an incredible experience."

"My husband and I had a wonderful day exploring the Costa Brava with Antonio. It was so nice not to have to rent a car and chart our course through roads and towns that were unfamiliar to us. We just sat back, relaxed and enjoyed the beautiful towns and beaches that we visited. Although we went during the high season (July) Antonio took us to a few places that not a lot of tourists find on their own, so it felt authentic and intimate. Also, Antonio has a wealth of knowledge about the history of Catalonia and we learned a ton! We would happily go on another tour with him again!"
"We enjoyed touring Costa Brava with Antonio. He is an excellent driver and customized our stops. My mom and I enjoyed exploring Peratallada, the jardins de Cap Roig, and many other places."
"Antonio was a perfect guide through the gorgeous region of Costa Brava! He is very knowledgeable about the history of the charming medieval towns we visited. He is a very kind person and took great care to follow our pace walking and climbing. Antonio selected a wonderful seaside restaurant for our delicious lunch. Many thanks to Antonio for a fantastic day of beauty and peaceful surroundings! "
"Antonio was incredibly helpful in planning our tour. He provided us with multiple options, described each and how they might work for our family, and helped plan an amazing day for our us. He shared a ton of great information about the places we visited and kept the tour interesting throughout. Antonio offered helpful recommendations for places to stay, restaurants to try, and options for transportation. I would definitely recommend Antonio for anyone looking to tour and learn about the Costa Brava region."
"Antonio was amazing. He communicated several prior to our trip. Very accommodating on changing the time of pick-up. We found him very knowledgeable of the area as well as the history. We all felt safe with his driving and honouring the speed limit. We were running late to get back to the cruise ship and Antonio went out of his way to get us to the ship on time. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Costa Bravo and Antonio will be a part of our great memories. "
"Antonio promptly picked us up at our apartment in a roomy, newer SUV. We told him we wanted a relaxed day with a lot of walking, a lunch at a good restaurant, and to see some new sights. We have been to Costa Brava many times but this was our friend’s first visit. Antonio formulated the perfect outing, two hikes in different areas, a few sights pointed out by car, a relaxed lunch with great food at a beachfront restaurant, and a visit to a wonderfully maintained medieval town that was not overrun with tourists. Antonio was super knowledgeable and shared information about other areas my friend wanted to visit some day. Very friendly and personable. We simply had the perfect day. Priceless. "
"Antonio worked with us to focus on what we hoped to do and what to see in Costa Brava, and he did a truly fantastic job. Our family of four were picked up right on time in Barcelona and we focused our day together on Cap Roig Botanical Gardens, Calella de Palafrugell for lunch, as well as Cala d'Aiguablava for its breathtaking beach. Antonio was very kind and helpful and did an outstanding job of helping to discern where to go and what to do based on our family’s goals. We highly recommend him and this Costa Brava trip."
