Wonderful experience. Savior was knowledgeable. Patient & flexible. gave us a suggestions of what to do in the area. Ate lunch at a wonderful restaurant near the water.

Great day exploring Costa Brava!

Lisa_C, Aug 2023

Manu was a great guide. He showed us everything and made the day so easy and fun! Loved Tossa de Mar, was such a cute town. The beach that we went to was so beautiful and the lunch spot right on the beach was just perfect! A great day thanks to Manu! Don't miss seeing the Costa Brava it is spectacular!

Horrible service

Ronisha_E, Aug 2023

If I could give this tour zero stars I would. What absolute horrible service. After specifically booking this tour for the hotel pickup, I was informed the morning before that my location wasn't possible for pickup. I then conceeded and went with one of the alternate pick up locations meaning I had to travel to get there. After specifically asking where and when to meet and getting there at the requested time, NO ONE came to pick me up. Called, sent multiple messages and even tried contacting through the viator app without any response although I could see that someone was reading my messages. After over an hour of waiting without any responses, I ended up leaving. Such a horrible experience and would definitely recommend caution when booking with these people. Simply HORRID!!!!

DO NOT BOOK!!!

Samhita_R, May 2023

DO NOT book this trip! I have used Viator for several experiences while traveling before but I have never had such an awful experience before. My friends and I booked this experience and traveled to Spain and we were excited to be taken around by an English tour guide who would be able to take us around the area since we have never visited. Except our English tour guide never showed up! We were in Costa Brava struggling to figure out what happened to our tour and where our guide was for hours. Other tour companies tried to help us figure out what was happening too but no one understood what was going out and why our guide wasn't there. When the In Out office finally opened and I was able to call them, they weren't able to offer me an explanation for what happened at all. The customer support representative told me that he "didn't want to talk about money right now" when I asked for a refund due to our service not being received at all. I told him our English tour guide never showed up but he said since we got a driver (our driver was a kind man but he didn't speak English and he was completely in the dark on what his role was besides driving us to the beach), that we should be "grateful". I was completely appalled that they were not understanding or apologetic. We did not receive a tour from our English tour guide, which is the entire service, and even now no one has reached out to me despite me following up about this multiple times. I am so upset with this entire experience, we lost out on upwards of $600 and never got an explanation of what happened. We will NOT be booking with Viator again.

Awesome day in Girona & Costa Brava

Debra_C, Apr 2023

The Costa Brava Girona small group by accident tour ( not our original boat tour one due to their boat guy’s illness & the tour company called and offered either a refund or a different tour and we chose the new tour) with Manu and he was awesome! He was attentive, let me shop in a specialty chocolate shop Rocambolesc, unique, the chopped corn nuts in a chocolate ball was good. He took us to a medieval town called Peratallada in which we have never been to and it was beautiful! Had a wine tasting at Vice…my husband loved his white vermouth, orange and bitters drink, I liked the gelato. Oh, we purchased a small salami, tasty. Next stop was costa brava, we ate at Tonys, the best ever, and I mean ever Aged Serrano Jamon croquettes! The sea bream was perfect, nice flavor, not super firm and not soft, it was awesome. I’d come back to Spain just to go to Tony’s! Overall, Manu (Manuel) was a perfect host and we had a great time with him and never felt rushed. He made sure we were comfortable with little rest breaks. Hey, his pics of us came out great! Highly recommend this tour with Manu!

Amazingly spectacular Costa Brava!

Great Costa Brava small group tour in English

Jan_S, Sep 2022

We had a wonderful time on this outing to Costa Brava. Our guide, Manu, was excellent. He was humorous, friendly, attentive, considerate, and very knowledgeable. We would highly recommend him. Tossa de Mar was beautiful and well worth seeing. In addition, Manu knows a great, more private and stunningly lovely beach town for a great lunch. Restuarant choices included a more casual spot on the beach, or a classy, lovely restaurant overlooking the beach (which we did). He really made an effort to show us a great time and more than succeeded!

Fantastic Time

The views are in creditable. Perfect stops for pictures. The guide knew exactly where to stop and we were giving time to swim in the beaches!

Scenic coast

Leonard_V, Jul 2019

We went on this excursion while Barcelona. Our guide picked us up at our hotel and drove us to a town about an hour and thirty minutes away. We too a boat ride along the coast to Tossa de Mar. The beach was beautiful. We walked to what was a village that had a big wall surrounding it. The views got better as we walked up to where a castle once stood. There is a lighthouse there now. The restaurants in the area we very busy and people every where. We had a great time, and I would highly recommend it. We are actually considering spending a week or so in that area next summer.

tiempo en familia
