    About this experience

    Costa Brava is becoming a more and more famous place. And its fame is completely deserved. To be honest, Costa Brava (about 200 diferent beaches and 200 km from north to south) is one of the most beatiful coasts in the whole Iberian Peninsule and doesn't have to envy anything from Mallorca or Ibiza. Most of people when they have to visit Costa Brava they use to go to the biggest towns and resorts, which are ready to host tens of thousands of tourists per night. My intention is showing sites way more interesting, than the typical overcrowded or overrated touristy spots. Any season is interesting for going to Costa Brava: -Winters. The weather is not as bad, about 12ºC-17ºC in the afternoon. -Spring. Warmer weather and beautiful nature with canola and puppies flower fields. -Summer. Too busy but the best time for swimming. -Autumn. Less busy and perfect weather. There is not a minimum amount of passengers. Kids are allowed but I recommend from 2 years old.

    What you'll see and do

    1. After driving 1h30 min from Barcelona, we will face Peratallada. It is an old medieval town. The beauty of this tour consists in combining wonderful beaches with spectacular old towns with castles and fortress. This small village is surrounded by a XII century wall with its own moat. Also you will enjoy walking down the old streets and tasting local ice-creams, horchatas and muffins. We will spend about 45 min in Peratallada.

      150 minutes here

    2. Pals

      Depending on the season or on the wishes of the customers, we can do just one or two different old medieval towns. Pals is a bit more touristy than Peratallada and it helps a bit in off-season, because even then we will find different cafeterias and souvenir stores. Do you like ceramics? In this area handcrafters make the best ceramics in Catalonia and one of the best in the whole Spain. If you are really interested in ceramics let me know beforehand. From Pals we will have a nice view of the area: Pyrenees, Costa Brava and even rice, sunflowers and wheat fields. And don't miss 'Ratafia' a local digestive and alcoholic drink.

      45 minutes here

    3. Begur

      Begur is my favourite town in Costa Brava. Not only because of the beauty of the town itself with the famous 'cases indianes', but also because of the surroundings with spectacular thick sand beaches with big cliffs and gorgeous views. Here could be a perfect spot for a nice lunch. I know all the restaurants in the area. It doesn't matter if you don't eat fish or sea food.

      60 minutes here

    4. Calella de Palafrugell

      When we talk about Costa Brava we always think about Calella de Palafrugell because this is probably with Cadaquès, the most representative town in Costa Brava. The white houses used to belong in the past to the local fishermen who traded wine, cork, coral, etc. Nowadays, Calella is a modern touristy village, plenty of good restaurants and perfect for easy short walks. Eating in Calella is slightly less expensive (not a big difference) than in Begur. Here I also know a big variety of restaurants.

      60 minutes here

    5. Costa Brava

      Costa Brava is a big coaster region. If you want to customize a private tour, we can change or add new stops. For instead, we can focus more in beaches, booking a kayaking session, watching a ceramics workshop, sailing between caves and islands, or spending more time in other medieval towns. Girona city, famous because of its wonderful old town: jewish quarter, Cathedral, game of thrones, amateur cycling would be a nice option. After that, we will head back Barcelona again.

    Amazing day touring Barcelona outskirts

    My wife, sister, and I headed out on the full day tour with Antonio in mid-October. All of us very much enjoyed our day and found Antonio a wealth of knowledge. Antonio coordinated with us early for pick up time and location. He met us on time, and we had a comfortable ride out to the countryside. We very much enjoyed the locations we visited, Antonio did a great job of filling in time between locations with local history and facts. We were able to tweak sites and focused on the beaches. As this was shoulder season, we really enjoyed the more relaxed environment. He asked for our food preferences for lunch and the group chose seafood, resulting in an amazing lunch in Begur. I highly recommend this trip as Antonio was extremely helpful and it reminded of the benefit of hiring a private tour guide.

    Response from the operator: Thanks for booking with me Clayton and family!

    Relaxing Day Exploring Costa Brava

    We had such a fun day touring the Costa Brava region with Antonio! We loved all our stops - the first fishing village with the different colored doors, the stop for an amazing seafood lunch right on the water, the amazing medieval villages just inland. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and love of the region with us, Antonio!

    Response from the operator: Thanks Kim! I hope some more people want to try this experience .

    Full-Day Private Tour the Best of Costa Brava: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Barcelona.

    How much does Full-Day Private Tour the Best of Costa Brava cost?

    +

    Prices start at $40 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Barcelona usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Full-Day Private Tour the Best of Costa Brava take?

    +

    Plan for about 9 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Barcelona is not rushed.

    Is Full-Day Private Tour the Best of Costa Brava worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Barcelona, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Full-Day Private Tour the Best of Costa Brava?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Full-Day Private Tour the Best of Costa Brava suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Full-Day Private Tour the Best of Costa Brava?

    +

    Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Barcelona can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Barcelona and add a light layer if any part of the 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Full-Day Private Tour the Best of Costa Brava start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Barcelona within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Barcelona?

    +

    Barcelona's Gaudí sites are capacity-limited and the official timed tickets go first, so most of the market is resellers with a guide attached. We weight those heavily on whether the guide is an architecture specialist. Beyond Gaudí, the tapas crawls in Gràcia and the Montserrat day trips carry the highest rankings in the city. On Outty we rank every Barcelona experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Gràcia Tapas and Vermouth Crawl, Costa Brava Tour: Kayak, Snorkel & Cliff Jump from Barcelona, Costa Brava Tour: Kayak, Snorkel, Cliff Jump & lunch Small Group. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Barcelona?

    +

    May, June, September and October. Sagrada Família light is best mid-morning. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Barcelona?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
