Great experience! We are staying in Barcelona and were having trouble figuring out the best way to get up to Dali’s museum, so we sprung for the private tour and we’re so glad we did. Pickup was seamless, as was entry to the museum, and Noelia indulged all our questions about Dali on the way up. In the museum, she showed us some of the highlights and then we had some time to explore the museum on our own. Her knowledge about Dali’s life and his works is very impressive! After the museum, we drove out to the most beautiful town in Costa Brava, where Noelia found us some quiet beaches to soak up some sun and take a dip in the Mediterranean. It was a wonderful day and Noelia was such a wonderful guide! Recommend!!

Itinerary
Start this tour directly from your hotel or apartment in Barcelona city. We come to pick you up, so please be sure to let us know exactly where you are staying.
Figueres, the birthplace of Salvador Dalí, lies near the French border, at the foot of the Pyrenees and just 15 km from the Mediterranean. Walk with your guide through the streets where Dalí spent his early years, passing the house where he was born, and discover the town that shaped his imagination.
Dalí built his museum on the ruins of the town’s old municipal theatre, where he held his first exhibition as a teenager, and he is buried in its crypt. Recognisable by the giant eggs on its roof and its glass dome, it is considered the largest surrealist work in the world. With your guide, explore its rooms and courtyard, from the Rainy Taxi to the Mae West Room, and discover the stories behind his most extraordinary creations.
Next to the museum, this permanent exhibition displays 37 jewels in gold and precious stones designed by Dalí, together with the original drawings and sketches he made to create them.
End the day on the Costa Brava, a coastline of cliffs, pine-covered coves and fishing villages that inspired many of Dalí’s landscapes. Your guide will take you to one of its most beautiful spots, with free time to walk along the seafront, take in the views of the Mediterranean or stop for a drink by the sea before returning to Barcelona.

Noelia was absolutely fantastic! She’s incredibly knowledgeable, genuinely passionate about Dalí, and so much fun to spend time with. Her enthusiasm was infectious, and she brought the art to life in a way that made the entire museum experience more meaningful and memorable. She has a gift for sharing her knowledge without ever making it feel like a lecture—just a fascinating, lively conversation. I loved the tour and couldn’t recommend her more highly. Book with Noelia—you’ll be glad you did!
This was such an amazing event. The museum was amazing, the drive was smooth, the wait times were exceptional, and prices very reasonable. Our tour guide, Noelia, was SPECTACULAR! Not only was she super kind and easy to talk to but she had the sense of also being interested in our tour, which is not easy to find with a lot of guides. She added so much perspective into this whole tour and with her background of Dali that we could have engaging conversations the ENTIRE TIME we were with her. The lunch was fantastic and fresh with such relaxing beach time after which was much needed after the previous days of our vacation which was a LOT of walking all day everyday. This was my first time in Spain and I would not only return but also recommend this tour to any of my friends and family that would visit and would recommend they ask for Noelia! My husband said that this visit has been his all time favorite visit to Barcelona/Spain.
Our guide Noelle was great. She was very pleasant and tried to make the tour at Dali museum very interesting and kid-friendly for our 4 year old son, which we really appreciated. She is very knowledgeable and we had a very good experience with her.
Analtoli was great!! We were impressed by his knowledge and professionalism when we visited Dali’s museum in Girona province. He took the time to explain in amazing detail and the importance of Salvatore Dali’s work. He was very passionate, organized, accommodating and patient. He made our trip go smooth and we’re glad we took the tour!
Guide and driver on time. Guide was exceptionally informative and thoughtful to our requests. Highly recommend.
Ruben was an amazing guide. He detailed the amazing life of Salvatore Dali, his loves, experiences and relationships as if it were a movie or a good book. The drive up had a lot of traffic, but the ride back along the coast and farmland was much nicer. All said, Ruben made the private tour worth the extra cost. The knowledge we gained from his on point information will be with us for ever.
Touring Figueres and Girona. Ventura was extremely knowledgeable and interesting especially concerning the museum of Salvador Dalí
Such a fun day. The guided tour inside the Dali museum was amazing. And the countryside and Costa Brava beaches are so beautiful. We are so happy we booked this tour.
We had such a great time on this tour. Miquel made the museum unforgettable and showed us all the tricks. He is a fantastic guide. The Costa Brava is gorgeous and made a perfect afternoon.
What an experience…. Dali museum was more than I expected. I’m glad I chose the tour with Costa Brava. As the guide told us before, better in the summer but we only wanted to see the sites . Breathtaking. Rubin was our guide. He was very knowledgeable and he walked us thru Dalí’s life and art very smoothly. We loved the experience and would definitely come back again.
Rueben was a wonderful guide! From the moment we hopped in the car the level of his knowledge and interest in Savlador Dali were evident. This truly enhanced our museum visit and the delightful Costa Brava visit. We also very much appreciated Rueben's flexibility with us on the tour--we never felt pressured to meet a schedule other than what piqued our interest as the tour developed. Additionally, the restaurant he suggested for our meal stop in Costa Brava was one of our top meals. Thank you, Rueben!
From start to finish this was a great experience. Booking the tour was easy and uncomplicated. The tour itself was informative and entertaining. We were staying at a hotel in a neighborhood with restricted access but our tour guide, Ruben, found a location to meet us nearby and did everything he could to minimize the inconvenience. Ruben was a a fount of information and we learned more about Dali's history in the drive to the museum than we would have ever expected. The tour of Girona was also very worthwhile and fun, even for people who had not watched Game of Thrones. I highly recommend this company, the tour, and Ruben if you can get him.
We’ve been traveling Europe for two weeks now and this was the best tour we’ve had. Gaspar made all the difference for us! His knowledge of Dali was incredible! Gaspar made the tour personal and an experience we will never forget.
Guided tour of Dali Museum. We were very lucky to have Mr. Arnau as our guide for this museum. His knowledge, about the figure of Dali and his work, is very broad. A 2 hour visit that becomes very pleasant, enjoyable and didactic. Definitely an excellent choice to understand an artist and genius like Dalí.
