We had the most unforgettable wine tour with Andrew through Priorat. Not only did we enjoy spectacular wineries, landscape, and food, but Andrew helped plan our engagement in the vineyards of Priorat. He was incredibly helpful to plan the perfect spot, help carry items discretely, and make it the perfect moment. Engagement aside, Andrew is an amazing guide, and will take you to unforgettable wineries. Easily the highlight of our trip to Spain!

The Cami De Ronda is an ancient walking path along the Costa Brava Mediterranean. The beauty of the landscape and abrupt landscape, makes the path an authentic paradise for walkers and hikers. The Wild Beach of Castell is in the Cap Roig National Park. From here towards the Botanical Gardens of Cap Roig, we'll find crystal clear coves including Cala Roca Bona and Cala Estreta. The hike will be approximately a 9km loop where we'll stop at some of the most stunning emerald coves in the area. Here you'll have time to swim and rest. Once we've cooled off we'll continue the hike until we reach the Botanical Gardens of Cap Roig, before heading inland and returning to Cala de Castell. On return we'll stop at ruins of Iberian settlements on the hills behind, Old Catalan Farmhouses and a small known paint studio of Salvador Dali. When we're finished you'll have time to relax on the beach, swim, drink sangria and enjoy some incredible beach life on the Costa Brava.

Jamie did a wonderful job of putting together a beautiful day in the mountains for me on my recent trip to Barcelona. I had no idea where I wanted to go or how I would get there, so reached out to Jamie and he took me on an absolutely spectacular hike through an area I would never have been able to reach without his local knowledge. He was also very good at catering to my individual requirements (in this case putting together a reasonably long and fast day for someone going through mountain withdrawal). Strongly recommended! And don't forget that the swim is worth it, even in October!

This was a first for us (my husband and our good friend) and we weren't sure what to expect. After doing some google research we narrowed it down to a couple of companies. Creative Catalonia was responsive and Daniel provided excellent service--answering all kinds of questions promptly making us feel much more relaxed about what we might expect when we arrived. The difference-maker was being able to adjust some of the rides to work for our small group. It was 6 days/7 nights and we really couldn't have asked for a better first experience. The only suggestion I would have is that when they tell you there are no restaurants open in Spain in mid-afternoon/early evening, they mean it! A few times we arrived at our destination hungry and out of luck until 7 or 8pm at night. After a long days ride, that made for a few very hungry afternoons!

Being a profesional diver for 30 years en always been using Scuba master jacquet L I decided to buy a new one at Gidive. However it was advertised being in stock, it wasn´t and delivery was delayed for few weeks. Due to Covid quarantaine the jacquet was tried 4 weeks later and resulted to be to small (same size L ?¿) However i´m willing to take all extra shipping costs, Gidive is refusing to exchange the jacquet in size, hiding behind their sales conditions. Totally unrespectfull for the client. No dive center in the world would refuse to exchange a unused new jacquet for a bigger size. Looks to me as amateurism or scam.

We had a lovely day with Pere in Montserrat. He picks you up from Barcelona - in our case our air bnb, which is very convenient. We drove to Montserrat in a comfortable air conditioned mini van. Pere is full of interesting stories about the area and Catalan culture. He then presents three options for the hike. We chose the hardest one. He is an excellent guide - the hike had some climbing involved and we felt completely safe with his expertise. He knows so many legends and tales of the area also. A wonderful day. 100% would recommend. This is the first Tripadvisor review I have ever left and I felt compelled to do so because it was just so excellent. Bring a packed lunch during Covid for a lovely mountain picnic. Thank you Pere!
