Head to Empúries, the only archaeological site on the Iberian Peninsula where the remains of a Greek city Emporion coexist with those of a Roman city, Emporiae.

The boat takes you to the Medes Islands, located along the Montgrí coast with more than 10 km of cliffs, small coves, and caves and the fortified mansions that move us to a time where they lived with the fear of attacks by pirates.

If you prefer to skip the boat, enjoy some free time in the charming town of l’Estartit.

The Medes Islands is a small archipelago, located in the Mediterranean Sea, one mile of the Montgrí Coast and l’Estartit.

Vincent was fantastic. Very Knowledgeable, and extremely well spoken. He was very engaging with my teenage daughter and my 9 year old son. The ruins were fascinating, and Vincent took the time to chat one on one with each child and explain the history. Truly an exceptional experience for the family. And also our driver Joaquin, who was great, got us to our destinations and back in a timely manner. Big thank you to all!

This was an excellent day out. Our guide Gaspar was very knowledgeable and informative. This includes hotel pickup, followed by about an hour and 30min drive out of Barcelona up to the Greek and Roman ruins at Empuries. That part of the tour was excellent and the car journey went by quickly as Gaspar our guide was sharing the history of the region etc. along the way. The ruins are right by lovely sandy beaches, and after the tour of the ruins we had a couple of hours to walk by the beach and go and get lunch. There is a quaint medieval village with lovely little tapas restaurants within walking distance of the ruins. Our guide then picked us up and drove us to where the boat ride is. The boat ride itself was very disappointing, which was really the only reason I did not give this 5 stars. The description here says the boat will stop and you will be able to jump in the water but that was not the case. I definitely give Gaspar our guide 5 stars as he was excellent. If you take this tour you can talk to the guide and ask to skip the boat trip part and spend more time near the ruins. We would have loved to have stayed there and spent some time swimming and at the beach. All in all this trip was definitely worth it but would have been even better if we skipped the boat ride bit.
