Great tour lovely guide but very big group. Guide was lovely and a great communicator. Lovely day out.
We’re really happy to hear you enjoyed the tour and had a lovely day out. It’s great to know the guide helped make the experience enjoyable with clear communication throughout. We truly appreciate your comments and hope to welcome you again on another excursion with Buendía Travel
The tour is good, but it would have been better with an extra hour at each place we visited. Even the museum visit should be at least two hours
Gracias por compartir tu experiencia. Nos alegra saber que disfrutaste del recorrido y de los lugares visitados. También agradecemos tu observación sobre el tiempo en cada parada, que tendremos en cuenta para seguir mejorando la experiencia. Saludos de parte del equipo Buendía
Great way to see Catalonia beyond Barcelona. The villages chosen were so different from each other and it was such an authentic experience
Thank you for your feedback! Discovering the contrasts between Catalonia's villages is exactly what makes this trip special. We're glad the experience felt authentic and memorable. Looking forward to welcoming you again! Buendía Travel
Brilliant to have time at the Dali museum, a shame we didn't have longer at Girona, but it gave us a taste for next time. Our guide (Mons?) was informative in English and Spanish and kept us all to time!
It's great to hear the Dalí museum was such an enjoyable stop and that Girona left a positive impression despite the limited time. It is also great to know the guide kept the day well organised and that the bilingual commentary was well received. We'll be glad to have you back in another trip soon! Best, Buendía
The tours were good but needed more time in Girona and at Dali. A half hour longer in each. Guide was knowledgable, but hard to understand the English commentary on the bus. Pace was VERY fast and everyone had a hard time keeping up with the guide.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're glad to hear the destinations were enjoyable and that the guide's knowledge added to the experience. Your comments regarding the pace and the clarity of the commentary on the bus have been noted and we will take them into account to continue improving the experience for our guests. We hope to welcome you back again in the future. Buendía
Wonderful experience with our guide Paulina. She was funny, engaging and informative with a great background in history. Our driver Fermin got us there safely with very tight and narrow roads. Girona is so amazing we decided to take a train and return there after our tour. The Dali museum, like Dali himself is unique with his wonderful and amazing works. A great family owned restaurant in Cadaques called La Grille would highly recommend. Excellent tour and wonderful time that we had!
Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re pleased to know you enjoyed the tour, from Girona and Cadaqués to the Dalí Museum, and that the guide’s explanations added value throughout the day. It’s also great to hear the journey felt safe and well managed. We appreciate your feedback and we'll be happy to have you in another trip soon! Buendía Travel
Fabulous day in Catalonia and Costa Brava. Jennifer was an excellent guide - friendly and flexible. It’s a lot of time on the bus but necessary to hit all 3 spots. One suggestion - 45 minutes is not long enough to tour girones - we ended up getting the local guide to stay longer and anyone who wanted free time to split off. Only one couple did - everyone else wanted more of this fascinating Medeival town. You should do it this way all the time.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. It’s great to hear the day was enjoyable overall and that the different stops made the journey worthwhile. We also appreciate your suggestions, as they help us continue improving the experience for future travellers. Buendía Travel
