The goal of this day trip is to take you away from the hustle and bustle of Barcelona and, to let you enjoy the Mediterranean breeze. This experience has been designed for the outdoors, art, and nature lovers. As soon as we leave Barcelona we immerse ourselves in the Catalan countryside. The first stop is Girona (Game of Thrones?). A perfect mix of history, architecture, and...food! We will take a nice stroll through the narrow streets of the Old Town and the Roman Walls. Right after we will move into the Catalan Countryside, we deserve to be surrounded by nature. The second stop is Peratallada, probably the most charming and less-known medieval village in the Empordà region. A nice stroll around and a few pictures later we will take you for lunch at Calella de Palafrugell, an old fishing village formed by several coves that still preserve the charm of the villages of the area, with narrow streets and some traditional two-floor fishermen’s dwellings. BRING YOUR SWIMWEAR IN SUMMER!

    Wonderful experience

    Guilio was a great tour guide, and the tour was wonderful. We had a great experience and would definitely book another tour with Guilio and company. It was well organized, well paced, and very informative.

    A Grand Day Out with Guilio

    This trip made my holiday with my daughter- Giulio was a fantastic tour guide with an incredible energy and real passion for the experience tour he was giving. The trip to Girona, medieval village of Peratellada and small fishing cove Calelella were a delight and the historical background made us feel we had learned something the big tour guides would not be able to provide. My daughter is a huge fan of Game of Thrones, and was so excited to visit some of the important filming sites within Girona’s old city walls. Simply a grand day out, thank you Guilio you were fantastic! 😊

    Perfect pace and beautiful day!

    Easy pace and great variety! We saw a small city, a medieval town and a seaside promenade. Our tour guide Gilliam was knowledgeable and helpful. He didn't sound like Wikipedia page but just pointed out interesting sites with relevant info.

    Exceptional Girona and Costa Brava tour with Papa Bear

    My family and close friends took this tour and we were blessed with having Papa Bear as our guide. He was there at 8:25am ready to meet us and go. He was so friendly, funny and knowledgeable. We had an awesome experience with the tour. Papa Bear shared so much about the history of Girona and Costa Brava that we couldn’t have learned on our own without him. We made unforgettable memories with our group and Papa Bear. His recommendations on what foods to try were spot on. We returned on time as well, a few minutes before 5:30pm. His van is super clean and comfortable. We want to get Papa Bear again next time we visit Barcelona with our children and other friends. This tour and Papa Bear are highly, highly recommended.

    Girona and Costa Brava Small Group Tour from Barcelona: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Girona and Costa Brava Small Group Tour from Barcelona cost?

    +

    Prices start at €100 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 Girona and Costa Brava Small Group Tour from Barcelona 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 Girona and Costa Brava Small Group Tour from Barcelona worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 91 out of 100, which we label "90+ Club". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 494 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Barcelona, and how flexible the cancellation terms are. Scoring 90 or above puts it in the Outty 90+ Club, the top tier of everything we rank.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Girona and Costa Brava Small Group Tour from Barcelona?

    +

    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 Girona and Costa Brava Small Group Tour from Barcelona 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 Girona and Costa Brava Small Group Tour from Barcelona?

    +

    Around 173 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 Girona and Costa Brava Small Group Tour from Barcelona 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 Costa Brava Tour: Kayak, Snorkel & Cliff Jump from Barcelona, Gràcia Tapas and Vermouth Crawl, Girona & Dali Museum Small Group Tour with Pick-up from Barcelona. 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.

    What is included in Girona and Costa Brava Small Group Tour from Barcelona?

    +

    Included: Private transportation; Guida professionale; and In-vehicle air conditioning. Not included: Lunch; and Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Girona and Costa Brava Small Group Tour from Barcelona?

    +
