Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Jardin Botanico Marimurtra, Passeig Carles Faust, 9, 17300 Blanes Spain
The botanical gardens are home to a wide variety of exotic plants, but it is the amazing views from high up on the cliffs that makes this stop an absolute must.
The turquoise blue waters of the Mediterranean Sea stretch out endlessly into the distance, while far beneath you the waves crash in an explosion of white against the wild coastline.
Duration: 1 hour 15 minutes
Stop At: Cala de Sant Francesc, Passeig de la Bitacora, s/n, 17300 Blanes Spain
Your one-hour drive will take you north up the coast to Blanes - the Gateway to the Costa Brava.
We go to a cove on the coast that have avoided the crowds of tourists and big commercial developments, and known only to locals. Our early morning departure from Barcelona means you’ll have the beach to yourself, and you’ll be able to enjoy a secluded swim in the crystal-clear waters, or wander alone the shoreline.
You have the option to stay on the beach for the next two hours, or leave the sand for another day and come with us to the famous botanical gardens.
Duration: 1 hour 15 minutes
Stop At: Blanes, Blanes, Costa Brava, Province of Girona, Catalonia
We stop for lunch in a family run restaurant. Your feast will start with a selection of traditional local dishes and a glass of Sangria, followed by a choice of main courses. All the dishes in this family-owned restaurant are lovingly handmade and they have built a deserved reputation as one of the best kept secrets in town.
Duration: 2 hours
Stop At: Tossa de Mar, Tossa de Mar, Costa Brava, Province of Girona, Catalonia
After lunch, we will take a short drive to Tossa de Mar, home to the last remaining preserved fortified town on the Costa Brava Coast. You will have time to walk up to the lighthouse along cobbled streets with the ever-present backdrop of the Costa Brava coastline completing your view.
From the lighthouse on top of the hill, you’ll wander back down through the old town before dropping into a maze of narrow streets lined with traditional whitewashed houses and shops.
Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes

fantastic view of costa brava with delicious lunch and Javier is a knowledgeable and attentive guide, i highly recommend this tour
The trip was a nice introduction to the Costa Brava as it provided pleasant and educational exposure to the region which included history, geography, food, architecture and more. The guide, Xavier, was a super nice and knowledgeable guy. I recommend this experience to anyone for their first introduction to the Costa Brava.
Our tour of Costa Brava was truly one of the highlights of our trip! Our tour guide, Geordie, was AWESOME. He was so funny, knowledgeable, and took great care of each member of the group. I really think he made the tour all the more enjoyable for everyone. The beach at Blanes and Tossa de Mar were STUNNING. My friends and I were definitely glad to have a lot of free time and spend the day as we wanted. The traditional lunch was also delicious and a very cool experience. It was so fun to get to chat with the other groups on the tour and share a meal together. I definitely recommend this tour to anyone looking to experience the coast outside of Barcelona!
Wonderful day trip along the beautiful Costa Brava coastline, a very responsive guide. Includes a visit to the beautiful botanical garden and a delicious lunch with choice options. Recommended
This tour was my favorite in Barcelona! She was so nice and knowledgeable! She drove the small van we took to costa brava. First stop was a beach where the garden was. Gorgeous!! You walk the garden without the guide which was nice to enjoy! Next stop was to saint joan- stunning views of all of costa brava. next was lunch which included so much food!! that alone was well worth the money. delicious i was i could have eat everything! come hungry! last stop was this beach next to a castle where you were free to lounge at the beach or visit the castle or walk the shop and restaurants. Beyond excellent tour! Highly recommend!!
Stephen gave us a great tour of the Costa Brava. This tour involved quite a bit of driving from the Barcelona Gothic Quarter to the coast, with a return at the end of the day. Stephen made the drive interesting by informing us of the history of the area we were passing through, as well by pointing out interesting sites that we passed. When we reached Blanes, we explored the tropical gardens which provided great overlook of the rugged coast, then made a visit to the tower fortress of St Joan, followed by a scrumptious and filling lunch provided at a local restaurant. In the afternoon, we continued with a trip to Tossa de Mar, and a visit to the old fort and some Roman Ruins. Even though the afternoon was spent in rainy weather, Stephens upbeat personality and concern for the comfort of his clients kept our spirits high.
Costa Brava was soooo beautiful, I would have never been able to find it without this trip. I recommend it!
The gardens were nothing much to look at. We then were told after the gardens to walk to the water to swim and meet our guide, we about 2 1/2 hours which was entirely too much time. However , the tour did include lunch which was quite lovely. On the beach there was a bar where most of us sat for a long while until our guide actually came back with the tour bus. It was a long day with much of the time waiting around.
