Girona and Costa Brava Day Trip from Barcelona

Amazing Day Trip in Spain; A True Bucket List Trip

We signed up for this trip a few weeks before our departure and the registration was fast and simple. We received meeting instructions, and on the day of the tour, we met on time by our guide. Giulio was an amazing guide. It's about an hour van ride to the first destination, and he provided great historical information that kept us entertained during our trip. Once we arrived in Girona, our first destination was brief stop at a fantastic local bakery to get everyone ready for the tour. The tour immediately started then with a brief walk to the Eiffel Bridge, and then many really fascinating locations through the older part of Girona. It was absolutely beautiful. We loved all of the Girona portion, and Giulio again provided some very helpful history of Girona and Spain in general. Next stop for this Costa Brava tour was a very small but truly beautiful village of Peratallada. Very small town, but you immediately get the vibe of the village. We spent about 45 minutes there (a few minutes included enjoying a spectacular vermut from a store owner) before we headed to the gorgeous coastal town of Calella de Palafrugell. Simply stunning! A bucket list place to see and visit. We spent quite a bit of time enjoying the sea here. This was just fabulous. This tour was likely the highlight of our entire vacation. My wife and I can't stop talking about everything was saw and did on this tour. I only wish we could have spent this tour over the course of a few weeks. These tour stops were just incredible, and we'd like to do this again.

We booked this tour for Costa Brava but had never heard of Girona – and we were blown away! The medieval streets, history, and charm made it just as memorable as the stunning coastal views. An unexpected highlight of our trip!
