Anays was very knowledgeable about the history of Catalonia. She was very helpful and nothing was too much bother if someone needed information. She was fun and vibrant and included everyone which added great enjoyment during the tour to Montserrat and the Oller del Mas vineyard. I would most definitely recommend this tour.

A must in Barcelona

John_D, Jan 2024

Last summer was the second time I have done this tour. Amazing! Even better on that time. Never get tired to visit this area: beautiful sceneries, old towns, clear beaches, unforgettable! Operator very professional, well organized. Don’t miss it!

Picturesque Views Everywhere You Look

Melissa_K, Oct 2023

This day trip was one of the highlights of our trip. Easy transportation to the coast. Absolutely beautiful views everywhere. And the water - so gorgeous, so clear and blue. Our guide was very informative and gave a fabulous tour. She was also very helpful when we asked for lunch suggestions. This should be one of the tours you book.

Amazing

Omsha_T, Sep 2023

Monica was an amazing guide. I love chatting with her. It was a nice tour. Lots of walking though and HOT even in October. So be comfortably dressed

Great casual coastline trip

Stacy_M, Sep 2023

We very much enjoyed our day on the Costa Brava coast line, (nicknamed the "Brave Coast" due to it's rocky natured cliffs and winds). This tour is very casual (with company, Barcelona Holidays), mainly providing transportation from the bus station in Barcelona to the first stop: We visited 2 small towns, the first Lloret, and the second Tossa De Mar. During the drive, the guide Monica offered some information over the speaker on the charter bus. We stayed a short time (about ~90 minutes) at the first stop with free time to explore the absolutely gorgeous views of the rocky coast line of the Mediterranean, then walking along the shops until we found a small 15th century church. Our guide, Marta, gave us a meeting point and a time to return for our group to then gather and proceed to catch the boat ride to the 2nd stop. Boat ride was gorgeous with views of expensive homes on the cliffsides, but a bit rocky on this windy day, so highly suggest your anti-nausea meds. We stopped midway to feed fish and see them on the glass bottom boat. At the 2nd stop, Tossa De Mar, we again were given the option to have our own free time for about ~3 hours to visit shops, restaurants, beach, and castle, or to go with the guide for a brief 45 minute walking tour of the castle. We opted to go have lunch and explore on our own and again were provided a meeting point and time to return. The beach here is great for going swimming or even a shallow area near the castle to just wade ankle/knee deep water to experience the Mediterranean sea. I would suggest bringing a towel with you if you do want to go swimming as we were a little chilly after getting out of the water without towels. Definitely wear your swimsuit so you can take full advantage though! And I'd also suggest sunscreen. The bus ride back into town was quiet to allow all the guests to rest. We were back promptly by 530pm. They are very punctual and assume you have departed the tour to find our own independent transportation if you don't meet them at the designated times- so be sure to be on time- but otherwise you won't have a problem. Great trip for large groups as the bus carries approx 50 people. Family friendly. Not super structured to allow for freedom of exploration as you desire.

Awesome day in Costa Brava

Nancy_L, Sep 2023

I loved this tour, all places visited are amazing, cute small towns with very clean and beautiful beaches. The beauty of Costa Brava is not to be missed during your stay in Barcelona. The tour is very good organized and professional, with a perfect distribution of times in each place. I really appreciated that this tour was very punctual. Guides are excellent!

Dpectacular

Jocelyn_R, Sep 2023

A well curated day out to this stunning location

Natasha_G, Sep 2023

Well worth a trip to this stunning location. The pick up point was easily accessible and the amount of time in each place was great. The walking tour around the fort was our favourite part and the guide very knowledgeable about the area. Would highly recommend.

Breathtaking

Nancy_P, Sep 2023

The entire trip was wonderful! The information along the bus ride, the guided tour of Tossa de Mar, all of it! The area is gorgeous! I have already recommended it to friends! I will be back!

Perfect day trip from Barcelona

Emma_G, Sep 2023

The coach was very comfortable - cool, air-conditioned and nice leather seats with USB ports. The English tour guide, Monica, was very informative and friendly. It’s the perfect tour to do because the public transport to these places is so complicated. Lloret de Mar was a cute place and had a gorgeous beach. Tossa de Mar was our favourite though, the sunbeds were only €7 (we paid €30 on Barceloneta beach!) and the medieval village was absolutely gorgeous. A beautiful place - I’d love to see even more if it!

Costa Brava fun

Katrina_G, Sep 2023

Great day trip. The guides were helpful and knowledgeable The scenary is beautiful and we had lots of fun on the boat

Simply stunning

Lilia_M, Aug 2023

Amazing family adventure. The blue sea and mountains are simply stunning. The only negative I wish the day was longer to enjoy this beauty. Absolutely take your swimming suit or dress up for a quick beach conversion. You will have a free time around 1 hour 15 min at the first stop to enjoy the beach on your own and around 3 hours at the second stop. But of course you could take the 45 min tour of the Wall City of Tossa le Mar with guide who was very interesting and helpful. The boat ride was another cherry on the cake to see this unbelievable coastline from another prospective. Wry happy we did it.

Fine but no response from Viator on my question about the trip

Telesforo_U, Aug 2023

Trip was on time and enjoyable. Tour guide was friendly and approachable. However, I never got a response from Viator when I sent them a question about this trip a few days before I left for Spain. You should have responded

Excellent and Value for Money

SANDEEP_K, Aug 2023

V really enjoyed the trip.Our guide Maratha has been quite cooperative and perfect guide keeping the entire group engaged in knowing interested historical facts about the Costa Brava.

A place worth seeing

Anna_C, Aug 2023

A wonderful place that is definitely worth visiting. Our tour guide was good and pick up points were clear. We heard many interesting stories about the Costa Brava from our tour guide. After the tour we were given free time to enjoy food and nature.

Stunning Views

Randy_S, Aug 2023

The trip to Costa Brava and Tossa de Brava is a must do when in Barcelona. It was relaxing and beautiful and the views are breathtaking from the boat and hiking trails. The town was charming with lots of yummy food especially La Luna.

Dreamy Costa Brava

Shawna_M, Aug 2023

This tour was excellent. A perfect way to see Costa Brava in a day! Marina was so kind and helpful. Tossa De Mar is such a cute town and the beach is gorgeous. Lloret de Mar was a bit underwhelming, could have done with out it. Would have loved more time at Tossa! But overall an incredible day.

Amazing trip to the beach

Zaid_M, Aug 2023

Trip was excellent, I there was more time in costa brava but the trip was great. Pick up location was easy to find. And the toor guide explained everything well.

Awesome Experience

Anuj_A, Aug 2023

The whole experience from pickup till drop off is very professional and well managed. The explanations given during the tour was worth listening and kept us engaged. Enough free time was also given at both the places to enjoy. The highlight of the tour is the boat ride from lloret to Tossa. Very scenic and pleasent. Kudos to Monica for helping us creat good memories and a nice time.
