The trip was so great and our tour guide was so great. I feel bad because I can't remember her name because the trip was over a month ago, but literally she was so funny and so knowledgable and I had the best croissant I ever had on this trip. I went with my girlfriends and we had so much fun and we were able to do a thing that we each wanted. Andorra was a hidden gem that everyone needs to see! I went on Saturday Feb 1st 2020

Having spend almost two weeks in Barcelona by myself and then as part of a small group tour, I wanted to get out of the city for a different adventure. Seeing Andorra was something I had wanted to do ever since I collected the stamps as a kid. Seeing the Pyrenees white-capped with snow was a wonderful experience. I enjoyed looking at the Spanish countryside as we made our way to the little villages in Spain and France. Not much to see in Baga, Spain but I found it fun that we strolled around the town square and no one seemed to be awake at 10am! Our guide informed us that we had to get coffee at one place and pastries/bread at another. She was right. I got the coffee first, making sure to request "con leche" as it was quite strong. While in the pastry shop with several locals, I announced that I didn't speak Spanish or Catalonian (in my limited Spanish), but that I did speak English and German. I don't know why, but they cheered me! Ax-les-Thermes, France was a nice little stop and we happened to be there on market day. I enjoyed lunch at a little restaurant where I enjoyed the company of guys from the UK and Russia (Siberia). We shared travel experiences. Just being able to say I had been to Andorra delights my friends who had never heard of the place. Other than going through the lovely mountains and seeing active ski resorts, the only stop was at the border to get our passports stamped (yay!) and then on to the capitol, Andorra la Vella, the highest capital city in Europe I got to see the Dali sculpture and purchased a Starbucks Andorra mug (first kid on my block to have one) and found an Andorran Euro. Our guide (Marta?) made the trip more enjoyable along the way by explaining the sights while still allowing us quiet time to nap.

Consider yourself one of the very fortunate few that has the opportunity to take a wanderers trip right through the foothills of the Pyrenees in the Northen most reach of Catalonia, into the mountainous region of France, visiting the adorable duchy of Andorra and a final spectacular ride back to Barcelona. The scenery was quite to behold. All of it on a comfortable couch bus and within a 12 hour time frame. Sergei’ our guide was not only patient and informative, he had a good sense of humor too.

A great way to spend a day! Our tour guide, Nick, was very informative. I read the previous reviews so I knew what I was getting into. If you like to have a lot of time to explore each town, this is not the way to go. If you are ok with an hour here and there and fitting a lot into a day, this is perfect. Yes, Andorra la Vella is a big outlet mall. Yes, this trip may feel a little rushed to some people. I greatly enjoyed it though. The best part is the drive. The scenery is incredible. Everyone else on the tour slept the whole time. I was too excited about seeing the various scenery. Drink a Red Bull and enjoy the ride!
