Departure Point

C/ Palau de la Música, 1, 08003 Barcelona, Spanje All of our tours meet at our office, which is directly across from the outside cafe area of the Palau de la Musica. We advise that you arrive 15 minutes before the tour starts.

Return Details

Plaça de Catalunya, 08002 Barcelona, Spain Depending on the size of the group and the traffic restrictions on the day of the tour, your tour will finish back at the office, or in Plaça Catalunya, which is an easy 3-5 minute walk from the office.

  • Palace of Catalan Music, Barcelona, Spain
    8.15am - You will start your day at our main office, which is right next to the famous Palau de la Música. You will meet your guide, have time to use the restrooms, and perhaps even grab a quick coffee before the tour begin. Your guide will explain all about the day ahead and what to expect as you wait for you tour to leave.
    15 minutes
  • Eixample, Barcelona, Spain
    8.30am - You will leave Barcelona though the Eixample district of town. As you head out of the city, your guide will give you a brief history of Barcelona, before letting you sit back and relax on the 60 minute drive to Blanes.
  • Cala de Sant Francesc, Blanes, Spain
    9.45am - In just over an hour, you will be transported from the hustle and bustle of the busy Mediterranean city of Barcelona, to one of the most breathtakingly beautiful stretches of coastline in the whole of Europe - the Costa Brava. Cala de Sant Francesc, known only to locals, is one of the few remaining coves on the coast that have avoided the crowds of tourists and big commercial developments. 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. With a little bit of effort, you’ll even find time to do both.
    30 minutes
  • Jardi Botanic Marimurtra, Blanes, Spain
    10.15am - The Marimurtra 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. You’ll not want to leave the cliff tops, but a typical Mediterranean lunch is waiting for you in a local restaurant. You can choose to spend all morning here, or you can spend an hour wandering the gardens and then go back to the beach you first visited.
    120 minutes
  • Blanes, Blanes, Spain
    12.30pm - After we leave the botanical garden and beach we will stop first at the Castle of Sant Joan, with its magnificent views over Blanes. From there we descend into the town for the highlight of the day, a feast of traditional local dishes and Sangria at a local family run restaurant. All the dishes are lovingly handmade and they have built a deserved reputation as one of the best kept secrets in town. After lunch, we will take a short drive to Tossa de Mar.
    150 minutes
  • Tossa de Mar, Tossa de Mar, Spain
    3.45pm - The final stop of the day is 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 medieval town before dropping into a maze of narrow streets lined with traditional whitewashed houses and shops. After a couple of hours exploring Tossa de Mar, we will head back to Barcelona, arriving at about 7pm.
    120 minutes
  • Plaza de Catalunya, Barcelona, Spain
    7.00 - 7.15pm - We end the day in Plaça Catalunya. From here, you can easily take the metro or a taxi back to your hotel. Otherwise, your guide will be more than happy to make some recommendations of where to have dinner.

Our family of 5 (2 adults, a 17, 15 and 11 year old) participated in this tour in July ‘25. Rod was our guide, and his warm, laid back personality made us feel right at home, as we explored Costa Brava. He shared tidbits of Catalan and Spanish history throughout the day and during the lunch stop, where we tasted traditional paella dishes. We visited the towns of Blanes (botanical garden and beach) and Tossa De Mar (medieval castle and beach). Swimming in the Mediterranean with a medieval castle backdrop was surreal and magical. We were given adequate free time to explore and relax on the beach in both spots, and the tour portions of the trip were completely optional. The views were beautiful and we enjoyed getting a taste for the Costa Brava. We hope to visit again!

Rod was an awesome guide! Funny and very knowledgeable. We had a great day exploring the coast and learning about the history of Catalonia. Rod and David the driver made the day very enjoyable. Would love to take another tour with them!

What an incredible experience! This all day tour exceeded all expectations. We truly enjoyed our time in Costa Brava (family of four -2 adults, 2 kids, age 8 & 2). Rodrigo our tour guide took great care of us. His extensive knowledge of Catalan history made the tour a lot more interesting. Don’t think about this tour and book it asap, you won’t regret it! We look forward to doing another tour with this company soon.
