I’ll start by saying that I am not someone that is “in shape” so the level I would give this hike is not beginner. With that said, our tour guide, Bernait was amazing! He made it fun and helped me through some difficult spots. Resting when I needed it. The experience was worth it because the sites were phenomenal. We enjoyed the history and the food as well. Tossa de Mar was slowing down for the season. If you want the full experience of the town, go earlier than October. Although it was perfect weather for the 5 mile hike 75 F.
Communication was great and we were picked up right near our AirB&B. We enjoyed a wonderful day hiking this trail with amazing views!! Ramon took pictures for us, gave us free time for lunch after the hike and to explore the quaint town of Tossa de Mar. He then spent time guiding us through the castle/fort that remains in this town and we enjoyed all the information and tour. He is a wonderful guide and a great person. We thoroughly enjoyed this experience and would highly recommend to anyone wanting to experience and explore the coastline of Costa Brava. Because it was not a warm day we did not swim, but normally you would have time to swim/snorkel and picnic on the beautiful beach. This is a great private/small group experience!!
Our family of four (teenagers) really enjoyed our Costa Brava tour. It would have been difficult to figure out how to do the loop hike on our own and greatly appreciated the extra information our guide was able to give us including a great lunch recommendation. Definitely recommend this tour.
Ramon is an excellent guide, very knowledgeable of the flora and fauna as well as the history of the area and Barcelona in general.
Wish there had been more time to enjoy the beach! There were parts of the trail that required steep climbing however overall the views were absolutely stunning. Our tour guide Christian was absolutely amazing and helped our group traverse the more difficult sections. He was patient, knowledgeable and we enjoyed the snacks that were provided. A small part of the hike was through a new campsite/road, however in November it was empty which enhanced our experience of a semiprivate beach cove. Approx 5 mile hike.
Wonderful experience!! The route is beautiful, the tour very complete and surprising. Necessary dose of nature. Cristian was an excellent guide with an accurate, stimulating, close account and a very friendly and welcoming treatment.
Ramon was an awesome guide! The whole family had a great time. Walked about 8 miles but there was plenty of beautiful scenery that you don’t think about the distance.
We had our most favourable day in our trip to Barcelona with our local guide Christian, from Catalan trails company. Christian was amazing! Knowledgeable, attentive and pleasant to tour with! It was an excellent experience. I would highly recommend him and Catalan trails. We were a small group, just had one more traveller with us, so it was definitely like a “boutique” private tour. The car is comfortable and spacious with good AC. And Christian made sure we have enough water for the hike. We travelled as a couple, with our older daughter. We all loved the trip. We like nature and hiking so it was a perfect day. We started with the hike around Tossa de Mar, in national park and then coastal path with beautiful coast views! We passed through small natural little beach, and ended up in Tossa de Mar. We had some free time to spend there for a swim in the sea and lunch. And continued on a guided tour in little allies and fortress of old town. Definitely the best trip! Thank You!
There is a round road that goes to Els Cards that offers beautiful views of the walled area, the walk is not very long, it goes following the coast through the pine forest, the road is well marked and has several viewpoints in its short route, to the first leg there are some steps with quite a climb, but it can be done without problems
We were on holiday with friends and someone signed us up for the Costa Brava tour. Prompt pickup in Barcelona, about hour and half drive up the coast. We opted for a coffee before the hike and then off! Beautiful hiking through forests. Not a hard hike and the guide paces to the groups ability. Then you start hiking along the coast, which is stunning! We are back in Tossa Del Mar for lunch, followed by a tour of the ancient castle. Takes most of the day, but well worth it. The guide is friendly, knowledgeable and able to answer most questions. Excellent driver too!
