What to expect
You'll spend roughly an hour in each village, enough to walk the main squares and backstreets without rushing. Rupit feels particularly untouched—narrow cobbled passages climb between weathered stone buildings. Besalú's bridge is the centrepiece; crossing it you're genuinely stepping between centuries. The lunch break sits you down by the lake with regional plates that lean into local produce and tradition. Girona demands comfortable shoes; the old town sprawls across hills with plenty of ups and downs. Your guide handles navigation and context; you handle the pace.
Good to know
Wear sturdy walking shoes—village streets are uneven cobblestone. Lunch is included but drinks are extra. The tour suits all fitness levels, though there's genuine walking involved. Infant car seats are available if you're travelling with small children.
