Basalu tour was great!

Our young guide Gerard was terrific - enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and quite a talker. My wife Rachel and I had a excellent time and the separate driver/owner allowed Gerard to concentrate on us as we were the only people on the tour. The lunch was excellent. The volcano tour was a nice little hike but the highlights were really the small villages and towns - Basalu, Castellfollit de la Roca, Banyoles Lake.

Beautiful medieval towns

We really enjoyed seeing the medieval towns. My son is learning Spanish and in his 4th year of studying it. Our guide was very patient and listened to him when he spoke in Spanish and encouraged him to speak in the language. My son felt in just one day he was able to improve his language vocabulary and fluency.

Fantastic Tour

Daniel was our tour guide. We picked this small group (max 8 people) to have a more personal tour. We were picked up at our hotel in a clean and comfortable minivan. He was keeping me informed what time we were to be picked up. The three medieval towns were like stepping into yesteryear. Daniel gave us a lot of history and information. I would recommend this tour.

A highlight of our trip

Xavi/Xavier was our tour guide. Upon learning who our guide would be, I looked at the reviews and was nervous to find out that many mentioned him and his inability to speak English well. Although we found this to be true, his big smile, obvious passion for his country and kind heart made me instantly glad he was our guide. Yes, at times, it was hard to understand what he was trying to convey but he always supplemented with printed information in English. His lunch recommendation was spot on and he always made sure to allow plenty of free time for adventuring on our own. Well done, Xavi!

Lovely places and views, great experience

The mediaeval cities were as precious as the stunning scenic views we had on the ride. Gaspar has been a great guide: very knowledgeable, showing us hidden gems, and with a lovely sense of humour. Warmly recommended!
