Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"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."
"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 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 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 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. "
"Stephan and Pheebus (sp?) were amazing! They were excellent guides, engaging with our teen boys. Flexible to the wants of our day. Both boys don’t generally enjoy hiking but they loved this experience. Highly recommend!"
"Antonio was amazing. So knowledgeable. Great personality and very accommodating. This was our favorite part of the trip to Barcelona. He took us on an unforgettable tour. Do not miss out on this! If you are considering booking, do it! And go with Antonio!"
"While the car is small, it was sufficient for the 2 of us. What Antonio pulls of for such an economical price is magic. We went to small towns and incredible beaches that simply wouldn't have been possible without Antonio. Even with GPS, you cannot imagine doing this trip on your own. He knows the gems and the trip is a bargain at twice it's price!"
"Anotonio was a great guide for the day. He was really knowledgeable and had the whole tour was filled with picturesque views of the Costa Brava, exceeding our expectations. We had lunch at La Blava which was great. Highly recommend. "
"Our family had a great time with Antonio touring the Costa Brava. He took us to a variety of beaches and small towns that were all interesting and beautiful. The car was comfortable for our family of 4. We learned a lot about the region and had a great time. Lunch on the beach was a highlight. "
