      Tossa de Mar tour delivered as promised!
      Our guide, Elena, was super! Aside from providing us historical facts, she assisted in helping us navigate the area. The instructions provided for meeting point were great and we were grateful that everything was confirmed the day before. We love that the bus left exactly on time. It was a beautiful day and a great tour!

      Amazing trip for a relaxing day in Costa brava
      Nice and helpfull guide , plenty of time to have a nice mix experience with old Town shopping and beach rest. Comfy bus. The boat part was canceled due to waves, but the cost was compensated. Overall, everything what I expected meets my expectations. Highly recommend.

      Great getaway to the beach for a day.
      If you just want a change of pace from city sightseeing, this makes a great day at the beach. Three beaches to choose from— all a few steps from each other. Typical small beach town with lots of touristy shopping and some restaurants that looked great. Once we got situated on the beach of our choice (the one with calm waters) we didn’t want to go far to eat. That left us one option. Very rocky beach so water shoes would make your experience more pleasant. I dealt with it for the few hours we were there. 90 minute bus ride each way. On time and easy to find. Overall would recommend.

      A top trip favorite
      This excursion made our family of 5’s favorite list from our European trip. It was so nice to see the seaside beach towns, get out on the beautiful water in the boat, and spend some time seeing the shops and restaurants while also getting beach time! We loved the free time we could spend doing what we wanted. We just wish it could’ve lasted longer and come back later in the evening. Tossa de Mar was so charming and we could’ve easily stayed longer. Thanks to Monika for being so friendly as our guide.

      Great day in La Costa Brava
      I give this tour a 5 star!! This was such a wonderful trip. We did our tour with Joseph in Spanish and even though we know English we wanted the full “Spaniard” experience! the first part of our trip was to Lloret Del Mar, throughout the ride to this wonderful beach town we were listening to all the fun tour facts about the area we we were in. We were given the freedom of roaming the streets and everything was properly communicated as to when we would be meeting to depart to the next part of the tour! Tossa Del Mar was by far the best place on the tour and is highly recommended! Such a beautiful beach town! Great food and vibe! Overall I was so happy with the tour and guides and so happy I chose this company.

      100% Worth it!
      This was such a fun trip! Even though I was solo, I had so much fun! Martha was very informative. The group had an hour or so in the first stop for free time, and then 3 hours in the second stop for free time. It was so nice being able to explore/do whatever you'd like! I highly recommend this tour. And also, take the optional medieval village walk!

      amazing
      This was an amazing tour. Loved it. We only wished we had known about this place so we could have spent even more time there. Girona was wonderful- so much history. Great shops if you have time. Pal was quaint and worth the stop. Tossa del Mar- SO BEAUTIFUL. I wished we had spent a night there and enjoyed the town and beach more. Our guide Rueben was great.

      Wonderful one day trip from Barcelona!
      Monica and Marta were amazing guides, I highly recommend this trip. The day was planned well with, bus leaving early morning at 8:30 am then visiting Lloret de mar and Tossa de mar. I would suggest to finish up your breakfast at Lloret de mar and soak in the atmosphere. You'll be taken to Tossa from here via the ship. Please take the left side for a fantastic view. That's a dofijet with under water aquarium. Take your swim suit, sunscreen, towel, loads of water and snacks. It was bloody 37 degrees cause of the heat wave when we went so water and juice is a must. You'll have 3 hours to swim, tour the medieval town and take loads of pictures. This was the highlight of our Barcelona visit so please book it now. You'll be delighted! Thanks Monica & Marta for all the useful info throughout.

      Amazing day trip
      This day trip was amazing! It was such a great way to get to see the Costa Brava without a car. Lloret de Mar and Tossa de Mar are both quaint little towns, and the boat ride was incredible!! The tour was well-organized, with enough time to explore both towns and the 45 minute walking tour of Tossa was a perfect way to learn some history. We took the advice from other reviews and got a quick lunch in Tossa, leaving us plenty of time to enjoy the beach. Our tour guide Monica was a wealth of information. I can't recommended it enough!

    This tour had everything to explore and experience Costa Brava - scenic bus tour, three different old world fishing/resort towns, a hike along the coast between the towns. A boat ride along the rugged coast with underwater viewing, and lastly stopping at a medieval town. Lots of free time to explore each area and choice of lunch places on the seaside. The guides were friendly, fun and personable and knowledgeable about the history and areas. They quickly answered my questions via WhatsApp before the tour. It was a fantastic outing thoroughly enjoyed the day. I would highly recommend this tour company to get an overall view of Costa Brava.

    We have done 3 tours with Barcelona Holidays, last year in August 2014 we went on a day tour to the Costa Brava with Monica to Estortit and costal towns and beaches that also included a 1 1/2 hour cruise. It was a full day and there was a lot of walking with amazing scenery. The tour was from 8.30 - 8.30 at the cost of 82 euros. This tour was exceptional value. I have had trouble finding the BARCELONA HOLIDAY site to review on tripadvisor. Hence my late review.

    This year July 2015 we went on another full day tour ( 8 hours 55 euros) to the Costa Brava. Tossa Del Mar was the high light of this tour which also included a cruise on this most beautiful coast.
    We were very pleased to have Monica again as our guide. She is an excellent guide, very informative and has very good people skills. There is no wasted time on her tours, you get exceptional value for money. These tours to the Costa Brava with Monica have been some of the best value tours we have done on our many trips to Europe.You don't get taken to tourist shops to waste time buying trinkets etc. Yet you are give ample to do so if you want in,the free time given during the day.
    We highly recommend BARCELONA HOLIDAY tours (you book tours at the tourist information centre)
    Hopefully, we can find another day tour with this company next year.

    I recommend going on a daily trip at least. My friend and I took the daily trip guided tour and honestly it was a well organized trip. Costa Brava is one of my fav spots on that tour and our guide took us on a walk that we could not have done on our own.

    Thoroughly enjoyed our full day tour of the Costa Brava, which included visits to four villages, including the medieval village of Pals, a sail round the Medes Islands in a glass-bottomed boat and a tour of the Graeco-Roman remains at Empuries. Monica was an excellent guide; she and her colleague were very friendly and helpful and the tour was very well-organised. If there was a fault, it was that there was not a lot of time for lunch. Very good value for money and would recommend this to other visitors to Barcelona.

    This is an excellent full day tour of the Costa Brava plus a stop at a Medieval village dating from the 12th century. The tour is both informative and fully packed. A tour of the Greek and Roman ruins of Empurres was extremely informative and would be of interest to any student of history. A particular shout out of Jorge, our guide, who not only provided excellent commentary but spent time one on one with each member of our tour group. Again, and excellent introduction to the beautiful Costa Brava!

    we did this tour on 1st june and the weather was really nice.
    visiting quaint sea side villages with crystal clear water of Calella Palafrugel, then walking around the coast line to Llafranc, an almost perfect scene as you came around the hillside. then on the bus to the medieval town of Pals, a very interesting town. A little disappointed not to be able to stop at the local businesses to support them.
    onto L'Estartit for lunch, followed by a boat trip around the Medes islands, beautiful, finally to Empuries and the greek and roman ruins.
    A really great day, big thanks to Monica our guide

    Excellent day tour - it was a terrific way to see a variety of Costa Brava sights all in a single day which we would have been hard pressed to do in our own. The weather was perfect that day and our guide, Jorge, was quite informative as well as being fun and upbeat. Wonderful short hike on the coast between villages to start the day with ample photo opportunities and I especially enjoyed the Greek and Roman ruins at Emporia at the end of the day. All in all, well worth it.

    This was a fantastic tour of Costa Brava . A day of contrasting sites with very friendly tour guides coast line on a large coach that was full. Highlights were visit to coastal beaches, visit to Medieval city, tour of boat that had glass view6ing of sea bed and visit to ancient Greek and Roman ruins. Tour guides were very friendly, informative. Pace of the tour was good as it did not feel rushed. Tour siited more for people who want to sight see rather than doing adventure activities such as kayaking,diving or snockling.Overal we had a wonderful day out. Highly recommend this tour.
