Overview

On this private day trip from Barcelona, (travelling in a luxury car) you will visit the city of Girona in northeastern Catalonia before continuing to the Costa Brava, the coastal region of Catalonia that stretches up to the French border. You’ll stop at Santuari dels Angels to take pictures from a stunning viewpoint on your way to the town of Pals, where you'll enjoy a lunch of delicious Mediterranean food (own expense).

As you leave Barcelona, your private day trip heads first to Girona, a city with a long history, believed to be founded around 76 BC. The river Onyar neatly divides the city in two, separating the old town from the new. The city has a rich architectural heritage, and you’ll see evidence of this in the 11th-century cathedral and the Roman walls, which you can stroll along. Or wander the narrow streets of the old town, soaking up the historical atmosphere.

From Girona, continue to the Santuari dels Angels, a panoramic spot offering scenic views of the whole Girona region. It’s a place even a world-famous artist thought was beautiful – Salvador Dali chose it for his wedding. From here you will make your way to Pals, a small medieval city built around its fortress. Stop here for a Mediterranean lunch (own expense) before you head to the fishing village of Calella de Palafrugell.

In Calella de Palafrugell, a coastal town of whitewashed houses, you'll have time to explore the rocky coastline or perhaps take a dip in the inviting waters.

This private tour of Girona is hosted by a professional guide. Please list any special interests you have (art, architecture, history, culture) at the time of booking to alert your guide, who will then prepare for your private tour.

Great trip from start to finish and mostly to do with Pablo, our tour guide. He made us so comfortable and not rushed through, enough personal space and time were given, All in all a very nice tour, specially Pals and Palafrugell!! Highly recommend for people who likes solitude and quietness. Great shout out to Pablo 😊

Sergi arrived on time for our tour. He’s very friendly, approachable and receptive. He was very informative and took time to explain to us every single spot that was on his agenda, including the ones that interests us. We had a lot of fun exploring Pals, Costa Brava and Girona (most esp with the Game of Thrones tour) with Sergi. Even our car rides in between towns was educational and informative. He really knows what he’s talking about it.

We really had a wonderful trip to Girona and Costa Brava with our tour guide Sergio. With his knowledge of the area, he continously explains the historical areas we passed from Barcelona to Girona and Costa Brava. Everyone in our group had an excellent experience and enjoyed each others conpany, thanks to Ssrgio who managed to make us all comfortable with each other with his stories that we share. Although it was a long ride we didn’t notice the time on our way to and from Girona. Sergio took us to a wonderful beachfront restaurannt in Costa Brava with excellent service. All in all we enjoyed our trip and learned a lot from the places we visit. Sergio was really an excellent tour guide, friendly and professional and took care of everyone in the group. If you plan to take any tour with this company, ask for Sergio to be your guide.
