Our guide Flavia was great. She throughly explained all the highlights of each stop. We would not have been able to see and truly appreciate as much on our own. I specially not in 1 day. She gave great recommendations and was very clear with our timing and meeting points. It was already a long day but we wish we could have had a bit more time in Girona and Figueres as there was so much to see in these two cities and it felt rushed. Cadaqués was quaint, charming, and very calming to stroll the old quarter and the boardwalk.
Thank you for such a detailed review! We're really pleased to hear Flavia made such a strong impression — her dedication to making each stop as informative and well organised as possible is exactly what we strive for, and we'll be sure to pass your kind words on to her. We also appreciate your comments on the timing in Girona and Figueres and will take them into account. We hope to welcome you back again for your next adventure with Buendía!
It was amazing. Flavia is an excellent guide We have done several excursions and no guide like her. Check it out for yourself
¡Muchísimas gracias por su comentario! 😊 Nos alegra enormemente saber que disfrutaron tanto de la excursión y que Flavia dejó una impresión tan positiva. Comentarios así son muy especiales, sobre todo viniendo de alguien con experiencia en varias excursiones. Le haremos llegar sus palabras con mucho gusto. ¡Esperamos verles pronto en otra aventura!
We had a lovely time on this day tour to the three locations. Flavia was an excellent guide and tour leader. She explained much about the culture and history of Girona, and was very personable and very organized.
Thank you for your feedback 😊 We’re really glad to hear you had a lovely time on the tour and that the guide made the experience even more enjoyable with her explanations and organisation. We truly appreciate your kind words and hope to see you again on another adventure with Buendía!
It’s a good overview of the three towns. I’m one day it is hard to really go in depth in any of them. Tour guide was very knowledgeable but I would have preferred more time that she was taking us around the towns. Bus was hot.
We're glad to know the tour gave you an overview of the three towns and that the guide’s knowledge was appreciated. We also take note of your comment about the time at each stop. In terms of the bus air conditioning, we will review the issue to ensure it does not happen again. We hope to have the opportunity to improve your experience in the future. Buendía Travel
Did not get the updated meeting place until later that day. missed the tour:( Better get a refund!!!!
Hi Becca, We regret that you were unable to reach the meeting point. However, we attempted to contact you both by phone and via the chat, without being able to establish communication.
EXCEPTIONAL GUIDE: PAULINA!!! The tour would not have been as enjoyable without Paulina as a guide, we’re sure of it. She is not only very knowledgeable in history, art, culture and so much more, but she is also very skilled at communicating and presenting the information in a natural way, a smooth flow; she is funny and entertaining, so it doesn’t feel like a classroom. By a stroke of sheer luck, she was our guide on two totally unrelated tours, and we were so happy. All three locations on this tour are beautiful, we just wish there were more hours in the day to stay longer in each place.
We’re so happy to hear your feedback! It’s fantastic that the guide made such a positive impact on your tours with her knowledge, communication skills, and engaging style. We’re glad you enjoyed all three locations and understand wishing there was more time to explore each one. Looking forward to welcoming you on another adventure! Buendía Travel

Flavia was a terrific guide on our trip. As our group spoke Spanish and English she treated both languages with the same excitement in her voice and pleasant delivery. She was very knowledgeable about the history of each city on our tour and the country and culture. She made the day most enjoyable.
