About this tour
This eight-hour private tour combines Girona's medieval character with Costa Brava's dramatic coastline. Your driver navigates you through Catalonia's walled Old Quarter, where Roman fortifications and narrow stone streets reveal centuries of history, then heads to the pine-clad cliffs and hidden coves of the coast. Stop in Blanes to explore botanical gardens or secluded beaches, enjoy downtime in Tossa de Mar for wandering and shopping, and finish with lunch at a local restaurant. Travel in a climate-controlled minivan with flexibility to shape your itinerary.

What to expect
You'll start in Girona exploring the fortress-ringed medieval quarter on foot, climbing towers and following the Archaeological Walk that hugs the old ramparts. The scenery shifts dramatically as you drive toward the coast, passing through pine forests that frame rocky headlands. At Blanes, choose between the manicured Marimurtra gardens or a hidden beach inlet—your guide adjusts based on your preference. Tossa de Mar offers a leisurely couple of hours to eat, shop, and soak in the seaside charm before sitting down to a substantial lunch. The return journey gives you time to reflect on the day's contrasts.
Good to know
Wear comfortable walking shoes for cobbled streets and rampart paths. Bring sun protection—the Archaeological Walk offers little shade. The minivan is air-conditioned but bring water. Strollers and specialised infant seats are available. Public transport links are nearby if you wish to explore independently.
