This was a very good experience due in large part to our exceptional guide, Rod. We got to learn about Andorra, a country that we knew very little about. The tour was broken up so you didn’t feel like you were on a bus all day.Great day.

This is definitely a long tour but you get to see so many beautiful sites and are constantly entertained by your guide! Gloria was absolutely hilarious and made the entire trip worth it. She kept us engaged with her commentary and was very thoughtful, making sure we were always comfortable, understood the information, and happy! Highly recommend this trip to anyone looking for something different to do from Barcelona.

Long but very well planned day offering several interesting stops and a beautiful route along the way. A lot of driving, but it is all divided into sections of 1.5 hrs or shorter. The guide was very knowledgeable and personable. The bus was very comfortable, and the company super organized. Highly recommended!

Hello, I am really very sorry that you did not appreciate that this tour involves a lot of driving. I am afraid that this is unavoidable if we want to visit three countries in one day. Re the babbling, I think most people appreciate getting as much information as possible. However, I will talk to her and ask her to make sure that she moderates her info. Thanks, Robert

A very fun experience worth taking advantage of. Gloria was our tour guide and she was quite knowledgeable, super friendly and very sweet. We stopped in a small town in the north of Spain, one across the border in France, the capital of Andorra, then one final stop in Spain to grab a drink before heading back to Barcelona. Things that were awesome: - Gloria - Ax-les-Thermes, the French town. It’s known for its hot springs which didn’t disappoint. It was very charming to visit the hot springs, shop the market and grab a bite to eat. - The capital of Andorra. Beautiful and a great opportunity to capture some scenic pictures and experience a country most probably don’t realize exists. Dali’s Melting Clock is there if you like art. - it’s a very scenic ride and you see beautiful parts of all three countries. Things that were less awesome: - be forewarned that it’s a lot of driving for relatively little time in each town. We had about 20 minutes in the first Spanish town, an hour in France and about 75 minutes in Andorra. The last stop was a 15 minute drink/bathroom break. The rest is driving between all the locations. I personally could have done without the first stop, which was more about grabbing breakfast to have spent more time in France and Andorra. - the ride to Andorra is up mountains. It’s very windy with lots of turns. I got a little nauseated on the way up, but the ride down was much better. Overall, I’d say the awesome outweighed the less awesome and I’d recommend for anyone considering g the trip to go!
