Full description
This medieval tour will begin in Barcelona, where your guide will pick you up from your hotel and take you on an amazing journey back in time in a small group of maximum 8 persons. Your first stop will be in the city of Vic, which has one of the most suggestive medieval sights of Catalonia. Your guide will show your small group the most important corners of the medieval city such as the cathedral and Roman temple, sharing with you their secrets and history. On your way to Besalú, your small group will drive through the volcanic area of La Garrotxa before arriving at Santa Pau, one of the most charming towns of Catalonia, where you will take a walk through its beautiful medieval streets and its main square. You will also stop at the foot of Castellfollit de la Roca, a spectacular medieval town that hangs from the cliff edge.  To finish this journey back in time, your expert guide will take you to Besalú. Here, you'll find one of the best-conserved medieval buildings of Catalonia. Your guide will explain to you the importance of the Jewish community that lived in the city. Finally, you will be able to walk the famous Romanesque bridge of Besalú, which is a mandatory visit for anyone who loves medieval architecture.

Our day trip could not have been better! Miquel our guide was personable, kind, knowledgeable & fun. He also took into consideration the needs of our small group of 7 and changed up one of the cities to visit since 2 of our group members had already visited there. The city he chose to replace it was spectacular! We had ample time to see the cities, hear their rich history & roam on our own for a bit. Miquel also took us to a local restaurant called Con Joan, where the food was absolutely amazing. I would recommend this day trip to anyone wanting to get out farther into the countryside.

Xavi was super personable and really added an authentic touch to the small medieval town tour. We saw more than expected. His recommendations on lunch choices were spot on and we enjoyed it very much. We recommend if you want to get out of the city for an enjoyable day.

Xavi was wonderful. While his English isn’t perfect it is so much better than my Spanish. We had no problem communicating. He was fun and able to share information. Additionally, he took pictures of us randomly which was wonderful since I am always behind the camera and never in vacation shots. He also offered us the chance to call him anytime during the rest of our stay in Barcelona if we needed anything or wanted suggestions.
