Girona and Costa Brava Private Day Trip from Barcelona
1 day
Private
Full Day
About this activity
As you leave Barcelona, your private day trip heads first to Girona, a city with a long history, believed to be founded around 76 BC. The river Onyar neatly divides the city in two, separating the old town from the new. The city has a rich architectural heritage, and you’ll see evidence of this in the 11th-century cathedral and the Roman walls, which you can stroll along. Or wander the narrow streets of the old town, soaking up the historical atmosphere.
From Girona, continue to the Santuari dels Angels, a panoramic spot offering scenic views of the whole Girona region. It’s a place even a world-famous artist thought was beautiful – Salvador Dali chose it for his wedding. From here you will make your way to Pals, a small medieval city built around its fortress. Stop here for a Mediterranean lunch (own expense) before you head to the fishing village of Calella de Palafrugell.
In Calella de Palafrugell, a coastal town of whitewashed houses, you'll have time to explore the rocky coastline or perhaps take a dip in the inviting waters.
This private tour of Girona is hosted by a professional guide. Please list any special interests you have (art, architecture, history, culture) at the time of booking to alert your guide, who will then prepare for your private tour.

Girona is a great medieval town with a lot of history. Very picturesque. Costa Brava was beautiful and we had a wonderful lunch right on the beach and a chance to enjoy a swim for quite awhile afterwards. Overall a VERY pleasant day and our entire group loved it. Lots of walking involved, but if you're OK with that, I would highly recommend this tour.
Good tour
This was our favorite trip from Barcelona. Our tour guide, Feliciano, was absolutely fantastic! The locations were spectacular and we had just the right amount of free time in Girona and at the beach. Short stop Pals was beautiful. We are so pleased that we chose this trip. Highly recommend!
Wonderful tour. All the stops were worthwhile. Our guide, Feliciano was excellent. He took us to a fine beachfront restaurant Les Voltes for a splendid seafood lunch. Don't miss this trip.
