Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"More people should definitely take this day tour to Girona. It’s such a beautiful and tranquil town and Elvira showed me all the amazing sites to see within it. I would suggest booking this tour to see a wonderful hidden gem on your next trip to Spain!"
"Visit to Dali museum was terrific. Ilona was friendly, informative and responsive."
"Sebastian is an excellent guide, very knowledgeable on many topics and aspects relating to history of not only Spain but many ancient civilisations. Would definitely recommend to book with him, for a good and fun time not only touring around Barcelona but also a major learning experience."
"We had the privilege of having Ivanna take us on a day tour to Girona. It was more than what we expected, with Ivanna sharing so much history with us about the city. Ivanna is so easy to get along with and is very passionate. Thank you Ivanna for an awesome day. We would definitely recommend her!"
"Antonio arrived at the pick up point earlier than requested and patiently waited for us. He is such an expert in all things Girona. I highly recommmed him to anyone who needs an in depth review and expert on Girona. I was initially uninterested in discovering more but Antonio just started to whet my appetite and he slowly weaved in the culture and moved on to the really unique places in Girona. To the extent, I fell in love with the town eventually. I can totally imagine myself living in. I know I will come back to Girona again and I will surely look for Antonio to bring me to Costa Brava. very well done ! "

Did you know Salvador Dalí is buried here? A crypt in the museum's center holds his tomb. You are literally walking over the master of surrealism as you explore his greatest surrealist creation.
The stunning geodesic glass dome crowning the Dalí Theatre-Museum is an icon of Figueres. It symbolizes another universe, the surreal world of Dalí, which you're about to enter on your private tour.
One of the most famous installations is the Mae West Room. From the correct viewpoint, the furniture and fixtures form the face of the Hollywood actress. It's an optical illusion you must see to believe!
After your mind-bending Dalí Theatre-Museum tour, ask your local guide where to find the best 'pa amb tomàquet' (bread with tomato). It's a simple, delicious Catalan staple you can't miss.

"Ivanna was an amazing guide she asked me about what I want to see and experience and she took me to the place’s that I asked for. We also went to the Dali Museum in which she helped me with getting the ticket, I have enjoyed the Museum. We also tried the local food of Gerona, it was a unique experience. Overall Ivanna is a fun person to be with she so generous and full of knowledge. I highly recommend her for this tour. In the end, I feel that I have accomplished what I went for to see. "
