- Barcelona Artistic Experience, City Break
hotel was nice,but there was no fan in bathroom. more info needed how close to tourist bus or metro, to get around in the city. Staff was very supportive and available to help and answer questions we had.
Andorra Ski Week - Jan 2025 Tess was an incredible guide! She looked after everyone in the group and ensured we all had a fabulous time. It was a top ski trip, with a good balance of skiing and Apres, with everything going smoothly and the whole group having a blast and getting on so well. I highly recommend this trip to others!

Travel Costa Brava your way
Our bicycle tours through Costa Brava consistently rank among travelers' favorites, especially the routes connecting medieval Girona to the coast. TourRadar customers highlight the well-planned mix of terrain - you'll pedal through sunflower fields, past ancient Roman settlements and along seaside paths to places like Peratallada and Pals. The routes include stops at local ceramicists' workshops in La Bisbal d'Emporda and wine tastings near Palamos. What sets these tours apart is the chalk-arrow marking system our guides use to highlight turns, so you can focus on the views instead of maps. Cyclists particularly value the bike-friendly roads and drivers in this region, with many noting it's why they keep coming back to cycle Catalonia.
See all Bicycle toursFor explorers seeking the real Costa Brava, our most popular tours blend Barcelona's artistic soul with authentic local experiences. You'll get private guided access to Gaudí's masterpieces like Sagrada Familia and Park Güell, followed by wandering through the Gothic Quarter's hidden corners. What makes these tours special is how they mix structured visits with free time - our customers particularly love exploring La Boqueria market at their own pace, tasting local specialties and chatting with vendors. The tours include comfortable hotels near key attractions, and our guides earn high marks for being available whenever needed while giving you space to discover on your own.

Top operators in Costa Brava
Based on what our travelers tell us, ExperiencePlus has really nailed their cycling tours - we keep hearing great things about their guides and how smoothly everything runs. The hotels they pick are top-quality and their routes are well thought out. Explore's getting solid reviews for their tours too, particularly when it comes to their guides. Bert gets mentioned quite a bit by name, which says something nice about the personal touch they bring. They mix up activities nicely to keep things interesting but there's a bit of a hiccup with their flight bookings - some travelers have had mixed results there. For folks looking to hit the slopes without breaking the bank, Stoke Travel's Andorra weekends fit the bill. The après-ski scene is lively and the overall package is good value. We should mention though that one customer wasn't happy with how they handled a Covid cancellation - there were some issues with their refund process and customer service during that time.

Highlights included visiting iconic landmarks like the Sagrada Familia and Park Güell, along with discovering charming hidden spots that only locals know about. The accommodations were comfortable and centrally located, making it easy to soak in the city’s energy both day and night. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone looking to experience Barcelona in a truly immersive way!

Demographics
Solo travelers find great companionship on Andorra-based walking tours that combine hiking with cultural stops. The routes through Incles Valley and along Ransol Ridge offer both challenge and camaraderie, with TourRadar customers mentioning how easy it is to bond with fellow hikers over picnic lunches of local cheeses and sausages. What works particularly well is the single-base setup in Soldeu, meaning you can unpack once and focus on daily excursions. The guides earn praise for creating an inclusive atmosphere while offering options for different fitness levels - from gentle valley walks to more demanding ascents up to peaks like Pic de Pessons.
Couples really connect with the cycling tours through Costa Brava's wine country. Starting in medieval Girona, these routes combine gentle rides along converted railway tracks with stops at family-run wineries near Palamos. TourRadar customers love how the tours mix active mornings with relaxed afternoons exploring places like Peratallada, where you can wander hand-in-hand through ancient stone streets. The carefully chosen hotels, often historic properties with sea views, add romance to the experience. What makes these tours special is the balance - you'll share adventurous moments cycling through sunflower fields and also quiet times watching sunset over the Mediterranean from places like Calella de Palafrugell.
Young adults seeking social adventures find their groove on multi-activity tours combining Andorra's mountains with Barcelona's energy. Winter brings ski weekends with aprés-ski fun in Soldeu, while summer opens up options for rafting, hiking and exploring mountain villages. TourRadar customers highlight how these tours nail the social aspect - you'll bond with your group over tapas crawls in Barcelona's Gothic Quarter before heading to the Pyrenees for active days and lively evenings. What works especially well is the mix of scheduled activities and free time, letting you choose between additional adventures like canyoning or relaxing by the pool.
Senior travelers appreciate the well-paced cycling tours through Catalonia's gentle landscapes. These routes carefully balance activity with cultural insights, using the scenic Carrilet trail from Olot to Girona before heading to coastal areas. TourRadar customers mention how the support van is always nearby, making longer rides optional rather than mandatory. The itineraries include plenty of stops at historic sites like Poblet Abbey and ceramic workshops in La Bisbal d'Emporda, while evenings are spent in comfortable hotels in medieval towns. What makes these tours ideal is their flexibility - you can cycle as much or as little as you like while still experiencing Costa Brava's rich heritage.
Families looking for active holidays in Costa Brava gravitate toward the Pyrenees multi-activity programs. These tours, based in the mountain village of Sort, combine whitewater rafting on the Noguera River with guided walks around Sant Maurici Lake. TourRadar customers tell us their kids gain confidence trying activities like abseiling in Estaron Canyon and kayaking through rapids. The accommodation includes spa access for parents and teens, while the flexible schedule lets families choose additional activities like horse riding or adventure parks. What parents really appreciate is how the guides adjust the difficulty levels - from gentle hikes around alpine lakes to more challenging canyoning experiences for older teens.

Best time to visit Costa Brava
- Spring 2025
Spring tours really shine in Costa Brava, when temperatures are perfect for cycling and hiking. The bicycle routes from Girona follow old railway paths called Carrilets, which our customers say are ideal for getting comfortable on two wheels. You'll pedal through fields of early wildflowers to spots like Sant Feliu de Guixols, Palamos and also Calella de Palafrugell. The Pyrenees multi-activity tours are excellent in spring too - the Noguera River runs strong from snowmelt, making it prime time for whitewater rafting near Sort. Walking tours around Aigues Tortes National Park let you spot wildlife waking up from winter, with guides who know just where to find rare birds and mountain flowers.

- Summer 2025
Summer brings perfect conditions for combining coastal and mountain activities. The family adventure tours based in Sort mix morning hiking in cooler mountain air with afternoon swimming and kayaking on the Noguera River. Our TourRadar customers particularly enjoy how the guides adjust activities to different ages and abilities - kids can try easier versions of canyoning while parents tackle more challenging routes. The cultural tours from Barcelona work well in summer too, starting early to explore Gothic Quarter streets before the heat kicks in, then heading to beaches like Barceloneta for afternoon swims and sunset catamaran cruises along the coast.

- Fall / Autumn 2025
Fall offers rich experiences in Costa Brava as crowds thin out and temperatures stay pleasant. Art-focused tours really shine this season - you'll explore Dali's birthplace in Figueres and the whitewashed artist haven of Cadaques without summer crowds. The wine tours through Penedes take on special meaning during harvest, when you can actually see the grape picking in action. Our travelers particularly enjoy walking tours through medieval towns like Besalu and Pals this time of year, when morning mists add atmosphere to ancient stone streets and you can linger over long lunches of traditional Catalan dishes in uncrowded restaurants.
