Excellent tour, we went to Dani's museum and Costa Brava… relaxed… the guide Albert was exceptional! He knew everything in the museum!!! Everything is great!!! THANK YOU!!!
Gaspar was an exceptional tour guide and he was very knowledgeable en-route to our destinations from start to finish! Telling us stories about Salvador Dalí’s upbringing and life to information about the areas of Spain we were driving through. We learned a lot and couldn’t have asked for a better day. The Dalí Museum and Costa Brava were absolutely amazing! I cannot forget to mention how great of a driver he is, especially when we were able to avoid a traffic jam! I highly recommend booking this day trip with Gaspar!
Gasper made our trip to the Dalí Museum and Costa Brava truly unforgettable. From the moment we met him, he was warm, professional, and incredibly engaging. His deep knowledge of the city’s history and Dalí’s work brought everything to life in a way we would never have experienced on our own. He also took us to some fantastic local restaurants that we would not have discovered otherwise. Throughout the day, he was attentive, polite, and genuinely passionate about what he does. We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better guide, and we will absolutely request Gasper again on our next visit. Highly recommended.
If you’re considering a day tour from Barcelona, stop looking — book with Nuri. This was hands-down one of the best days of my entire trip. Nuri picked me up right at my Airbnb door, exactly on time, and from that moment the day was flawless. We headed to the Dalí Museum, and I cannot overstate how much her expertise transformed the experience. Her explanations were engaging, insightful, and made the art genuinely come alive in a way that no wall placard or audio guide ever could. I walked away with a real understanding and appreciation of Dalí’s work that I simply would not have gotten on my own. From there, we made our way to the Costa Brava, where we had a wonderful lunch right on the Mediterranean — beautiful views, relaxed atmosphere, perfect. After lunch, Nuri took me on a coastal walk and revealed a hidden cove that felt like a genuine secret — one of those lovely surprises that makes a trip memorable. We also visited a charming medieval town before she drove me back and dropped me at my door. The value for everything packed into this day is remarkable. Nuri is knowledgeable, warm, punctual, and clearly passionate about sharing her region. She is the best guide I’ve ever had. Highest possible recommendation — don’t hesitate.
This place is jawdropping. Amazing set up and creatively curated. It has works from every part of Dali's life and it is set up so you can enjoy it easily. It's also in a cute little town that you can walk around in for a bit before or after.
Anatoli was an amazing tour guide. His knowledge of Dali was deep and well delivered. He had visited the Dali museum in St. Pete Florida where we live so we had a lot of discussions about the differences between the two museums. We had a wonderful day with him and completed the day with him to beautiful Costa Brava.
What a wonderful tour. Anatoli was punctual and so informative and well-studied. The information he shared was relevant and ever-so interesting. He is a subject-matter expert and always striving to learn more. The tour of the museum would have been a waste without Anatoli guiding us to the highlights with excellent explanations at each step of the way. He has a broad array of knowledge about the area as well. We would request Anatoli in the future. What a great day and great value. Thank you, Anatoli.
My tour guide, Nuri was absolutely amazing. She was highly informative but also very welcoming and truly a friend. The Dali experience along with the other sights and tastes were impeccable. I've been on many tours, but this was likely my favorite of all. I'd recommend this to other solo travelers, but also groups and children. I can't speak highly enough about my experience.
