My sister and I joined this tour and everything was very well organized from start to finish, making it easy to relax and enjoy the experience. The combination of Girona, the Costa Brava and the food tastings was perfect, offering a great mix of culture, history, nature and local traditions. Girona is beautiful to explore, with its fascinating history and stunning architecture. The Costa Brava is equally impressive. A special mention goes to our guide, who was friendly, professional and knowledgeable. They shared so many interesting insights about Catalan culture and made everyone feel welcome throughout the day. The food tastings were another highlight. It was nice to try local products and learn more about the region through its cuisine. Every stop felt authentic and thoughtfully chosen. I also really appreciated the small-group setting, which made the experience feel more intimate and allowed plenty of opportunities to ask questions and interact with the guide. Highly recommended!

Amazing experience, Costa Brava looks like a postcard landscape, thank you Richard for this amazing tour!🤩
I usually prefer planning trips myself, but this was honestly the easiest and most stress-free day of our vacation. Everything was perfectly timed and organized, lasting all 8hours. The guide gave us enough information without overloading us, and the free time at the beach was perfect to disconnect.
What I loved most about this tour was how human and relaxed it felt. It wasn’t just “follow the umbrella and take photos.” The guide genuinely cared that everyone had a good time. We explored Girona, relaxed by the sea in Tossa de Mar and came back feeling like we had really experienced Catalonia. So many great things to learn!!
Perfect combination of culture and beach. We explored historic Girona in the morning and later relaxed in Tossa de Mar on the Costa Brava. The paella lunch was delicious, but I also appreciated that some people brought sandwiches and enjoyed a picnic by the sea during the free time. Such a flexible and enjoyable tour.
I was looking for a more authentic and relaxed Costa Brava experience and this tour exceeded expectations. The private mini van with only 8 guests felt very exclusive. Girona was full of history and charm, while Tossa de Mar was the perfect place to disconnect and enjoy the Mediterranean atmosphere.
This tour was one of the highlights of our trip to Barcelona. Visiting both Girona and the stunning Costa Brava town of Tossa de Mar in one day was absolutely worth it. The views were incredible and the guide made the whole experience feel personal and relaxed. We loved having free time by the beach too!
We brought our own sandwiches and had lunch at the beach while others ordered paella, and honestly I loved that flexibility. It didn’t feel touristy at all. Just a really enjoyable day exploring beautiful places with great company.
If you are visiting Barcelona, don’t miss this Girona tour starting feom Barcelona, including a private minivan. The medieval streets are breathtaking and the guide gave us the perfect mix of history, culture and free time. We especially loved the local food tasting recommendations. Such a memorable day!
Amazing experience from start to finish. Transportation was smooth, the guide was passionate and funny, and Girona exceeded all expectations. You can really tell Tours and the City cares about quality and details. Felt much more premium and personal than the typical big bus tours.
I honestly booked this tour mostly for Girona, but ended up completely falling in love with Tossa de Mar. The Costa Brava coastline is unreal. Turquoise water, beautiful beaches and such a peaceful atmosphere. It felt like discovering a hidden gem.
Amazing 8-hour experience with Tours and the City. We travelled in a very comfortable private mini van with only 8 people, which made the day feel exclusive and stress-free. Girona was beautiful, but honestly Tossa de Mar completely stole my heart. Crystal clear water, medieval vibes and amazing scenery.
We absolutely loved the balance of this tour. History in Girona, coastal beauty in Tossa de Mar and enough free time to actually enjoy everything without feeling rushed. The beach stop was amazing and the paella by the sea was such a nice touch.
The tour went beyond our expectations because it brought together a wide variety of experiences in just one day: history, gastronomy, beautiful beaches, breathtaking coastal drives, and authentic local culture. Even the journey from Girona to Tossa de Mar was unforgettable, with incredible scenery all along the way.
The perfect mix between sightseeing and enjoying life slowly. We walked through medieval streets in Girona, had free time by the sea in Tossa de Mar and ate an incredible paella with ocean views. Couldn’t ask for more honestly.
One of the best tours we did during our trip to Barcelona! Girona is magical - colorful houses, hidden alleys, amazing history and incredible food. Our guide made the city come alive with stories and local recommendations. The pace was perfect and we never felt rushed, it lasted 8 amazing hours! Totally worth it.
We had such a beautiful day exploring Girona with Tours and the City. The guide was incredibly knowledgeable but also very relaxed and friendly, which made the experience feel authentic and personal. Girona is absolutely stunning and the small group format made everything much more enjoyable. Highly recommended if you want to discover a different side of Catalonia away from the crowds of Barcelona.
