My husband and I booked this private day trip. This was an EXCELLENT decision!! This tour was the highlight of our vacation. We had been to Barcelona before but never truly outside the city. If you are considering taking a tour while in Barcelona this is the ONE to take and Adrian is the guide to choose. Adrian really made our day special. He is highly educated, grand sense of humor, so knowlegeable of the area and a great person with whom to spend the day. He had places for us to have breakfast and lunch, excellent service and outstanding food. Tried some different foods and loved them. All along the way there was something exciting to see. He was really great explaining what we were seeing and the history. I love mountians and was totally enthralled with the ones we saw, SO beautiful and a plus with people skiing on one of them. We were very impressed with Andorra, never knew anything about it and learned so much from Adrians' explanations. Before booking the tour I read reviews, Adrian had outstanding reviews so we chose him and that was a perfect decision. The tour didn't seem long because there was always something to see or do. Even got to taste cheese at one point and so good I took some home. The private tour was worth every penny, it was relaxing, fun, educational and exciting. We learned so much duriing the tour and had a perfect day with the perfect guide. Thank you Adrian for a grand day and wonderful memories which we will forever cherish! We are so thrilled to have met you and the pleasure of the day with you. The pickup and drop off was another huge plus.This tour was the highlight of the entire trip.

This tour was the highlight of the entire trip. My husband and I totally enjoyed the day and Adrian. The scenery was breath taking, I love mountains so I was enthralled with the ones we saw and enjoyed seeing folks skiing. Adrian was a real delight, so knowledgeable and really took time to explain about the sights we were seeing. He also recommended a great place for lunch and B'fast. I really enjoyed tasting cheese in a shop and bought some to take home. Adrian is by far the best guide we have ever had. He is so personable and grand sense of humor. This tour was wonderful!! I HIGHLY recommend it and Adrian. We decided we wanted a private tour and glad we did because we learned so much from Adrian and had such a fantastic time. He really made a great effort to be certain we had an enjoyable day and we certainly did. It was a special day and filled with special memories we will cherish. Thank you Adrian for a wonderful and fun day, you rock!!! Don't miss this tour!It was perfectly executed and planned by Adrian.

It was perfectly executed and planned by Adrian. He picked up from our hotel on time at 8:30 and it was completed private tour for my family (2 adults and 2 kids 12/8 years old) only. His vehicle was big enough to have 6 passengers and most important it is very neat, clean and well maintained. Adrian was very knowledgeable about his trip and well English speaker. He was not rush at any point to complete trip and gave enough time to take pictures (also he took many great pics), provide suggestion to get great vegetarian food in Andorra la villa, also found snow fun for kids in Andorra etc. He covered all places as per itinerary and provided enough history, current info. Even my kids enjoyed his conversion about place and history while trip. We enjoyed walking in Andorra da Villa old town with him. He somehow kind of knew that my kids loves to have country stamps they visit, so finally he took his little effort to have all of us passport stamped while leaving from Andorra. Through trip, we never felt that we were going with some alien at all. We had great conversion through out 11-12 hours. At last he dropped us on La Ramblas street for shopping before we departed next day from Barcelona.This was a phenomenal day. We were so fortunate to have Adrian show us around for the day. When I booked the trip, i just thought it was a day trip to Andorra with a bit of a drive through France. Well, it was much more than that.

This was a phenomenal day. We were so fortunate to have Adrian show us around for the day. When I booked the trip, i just thought it was a day trip to Andorra with a bit of a drive through France. Well, it was much more than that. I won't ruin the fun but there were multiple short stops with some really interesting history lessons. The trip made me want to do more trips with Adrian to lean on his immense knowledge. It was special to have such a passionate guide with so much knowledge and preparation. I cannot recommend this enough. Our next time in Barcelona we will use this company to do some other tours with Adrian. Another hugely important note is that our family has multiple food allergies and Adrian made sure that we were setup at a restaurant for lunch that was safe for us. Not only was it safe but it was excellent food. A day that was well worth one of our days in Barcelona.This is an excellent day trip from Barcelona! Adrian was our guide and he made the experience even better. He was very informative along the entire trip and was very caring and accomodating for our 5 year old with us.
