Like a canvas where nature has intended to combine with exquisite delicacy the intense green of the pine groves, the massive steadfastness of the rocks, the softness of the golden sands and the deep, dazzling blue of the sea – that is the Costa Brava.
Leave Barcelona behind (8:30am) and head to a beautiful small village of whitewashed houses in Costa Brava. You will walk with your expert guide along the rocky coast following the historical “Camí de Ronda” path, where you will uncover the impressive pine forests next to the sea and the most beautiful natural bays of Costa Brava. These are spots only reachable on foot. Be ready to go through a holed rock, find fisherman shelters, Dali’s hut, sandy beaches (where important movies have been filmed) and rocky bays.
Do you rather do kayaking to find the magical coves of the coastal line? Tell us, and we will show you the way.
Later on, visit Calella de Palafrugell, a delightful town that has houses reaching the sea front. It is the perfect place for a leisurely lunch in any of the traditional restaurants. So the best place to enjoy an authentic paella.
The tour continues in a Medieval village. Uncover the cobblestoned Gothic quarter, the city walls, the Gothic windows, the arches, the wells, the thresholds of the doors and a wide range of interesting nooks and crannies. It boasts one of the most important mediaeval quarters in Catalonia. This fortified town is protected by three walls and a moat, watched over by the castle and its keep.
We will return to Barcelona, arriving at 17:30h.

“It was beautiful experience for me and my son.”
The guide Jodi was very professional and personal.
We received a lot of informations. It was well organized and pleasant trip. -
This tour was wonderful. A great way to get a breath of fresh air, literally. Jordy, our guide, was awesome taking us to hidden beaches to relax after hiking along the coast and visiting some historical sites. See how folks relax away from the city. And with Jordy’s enthusiasm they were so much more interesting. A good guide really makes a good tour. We did not snorkel or kayak but the coves would be fun to explore from the water view. I would highly recommend.

“An incredible, breathtaking, and exhilarating experience!!”
Our day trip to Costa Brava was one that we will never forget!
First off, we booked the trip completely last minute (which I wouldn’t recommend). The employers of LivingIt contacted us and said there was a conflict and we may not be able to go. They did everything they could to make it happen and they did!!!
Our tour guide, Joan, was unbelievable! He was incredibly knowledgeable about Barcelona, Costa Brava, Dalí and all of Spain! He spoke English very well and we had a blast with him, talking the entire duration (10+ hours) of the excursion. Since we booked it last minute it ended up being more of a private tour so Joan listened to our interests and altered the route as much as possible to fit in what we wanted to see! We saw multiple beaches of Costa Brava along with some of Dalí’s beautiful creations. We highly recommend taking this day trip! It was a day we’ll never forget!!!!
Thank you so much, Joan, for everything you did for us! -
“Laia was so knowledgeable and the tour stops were perfect!”
Our tour guide, Laia was so sweet and knew the answers to so many of our questions! She was able to show and tell us all about our destinations, and add in information that we were truest interested in! She was awesome and made it one of our favorite days while on our honeymoon in Barcelona! -
“It was amazing”
It was a special, one of those I’ll remember and I like to thank the tour guide “Diana” for making the tour memorable and joyfulDefinitely will do it again!!

This tour was a good way to get a feel for the Costa Brava if you don’t have a car. We visited Palamos and could walk part of the beautiful Cami de Ronda. We had a quick lunch in Calella de Palafrugell (although I would have liked more time here to explore this little beach town). Our last stop was at Pals. Our driver was good and let us customize how we wanted to spend our time. We didn’t really need him to explain a lot of things since we preferred to be on our own. The only thing I would change would be to have the pick up point be at our hotel, or somewhere more central to Barri Gothic. Getting to the pick up point required taking the metro and walking a ways, and was a huge hassle since it was kind of out of the way. Overall though, I’m glad we did the tour since it was basically like having a private driver all day.

Good morning. Tough it was raining, we still had a lot of fun. Francesc was great. He made sure our tour was really enjoyable. He was informative too. I would definitely book with you company again and put in a special request to have Francesc as our guide again when I come back in the future. Thank you!

集合場所もわかりやすく、ガイドさんがとても親切で丁寧な説明をしてくださりまた質問にも具体的に回答してくださったので更に理解を深める事ができ、とても有意義な時間を過ごすことができました。ハイキングの距離は結構長く、アップダウンが激しいですが、絶景を見ることができるので頑張って歩く価値があります。天気もとても良かったので暑くなりました。魚の美味しいレストランが海沿いに沢山あるので、ランチは魚料理がオススメです。ジェラートの美味しいお店もありました。夕方にはバルセロナ市街地に戻ってこれるので夜の時間も十分に確保できます。
“The gathering place is easy to understand, the guide explained very kind and polite explanation, and since I answered specifically to the question, I can further deepen understanding and I can spend a very meaningful time It was. Although the distance of hiking is quite long, up / down is intense, it is worth walking because you can see the superb view. The weather was also very good, so it became hot. There are lots of delicious fish restaurants along the coast, so fish dishes are recommended for lunch. There were delicious shops of gelato. In the evening I can come back to the city center of Barcelona so I can secure enough time of the night.” -
Thank you- the kayaking was amazing- perfect tour guides! Thanks again
