The whole trip was exceptional. Loved Bessalu, Santa Pau, walking the reserve and Lake Banyoles. Our guide Eduardo was knowledgeable and informative. A wonderful day.
Great combination of experiences.

We liked going to Besalu, especially in the cool and quiet part of the morning. We also enjoyed getting out to the volcano and seeing views of Catalonia. Found the history and political movements very interesting.
Perfect Day

From beginning to end our day was perfect. My husband and I were the only people on the tour (it’s out of season) but Alex didn’t cancel of which we were grateful. Basically, we had a private tour with Alex safely delivering us from stop to stop and Eduardo providing historical facts and information ranging from architectural styles to the Spanish Revolution; we learnt so much. Besalu was beautiful and we arrived well before bus loads of tourists. The walk up the volcano and into the crater to view the chapel was the perfect preparation for lunch which was prepared with plentiful and tasty local produce. Each town had its own charm and plenty of photo opportunities. If you want to get out into the country and wander in beautiful century old towns and enjoy some peace and beautiful scenery - even a glimpse of the Mediterranean Sea - this trip has to be at the top of your list. Thank you Alex and Eduardo for a truly wonderful day.

Loved the climb to the top then bottom of the volcano. Great tour with Eduardo. Banyoles Lake was amazing!
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.
Don't Miss!

We thoroughly enjoyed this tour! Marc was incredibly gracious and accommodating, and extremely well-informed. This was a tour guide who loved and understood his subject material, and it showed. I absolutely recommend this tour.
