Things to do in Cadaques, Catalonia: The Best Cultural Tours

May 29, 2021 Jacquiline Darosa

Tiny, hidden bays line the coast around sleepy Cadaques, creating a series of private beaches near the French border. Thanks to their boat-only access, an afternoon of swimming and sunbathing without crowds is as simple as hiring a skiff and cruising the rocky shoreline.

We loved our private day tour of Besalu and Girona with Gerard. There are 10 of us, 4 adults and 6 children, ages ranging from 5 to 14. Arranging the tour was easy, communication with BCN Hidden Tours was fast and clear. Gerard helped us decide on a tour that was just right for us. On the day of the tour, Gerard picked us up from our apartment in Barcelona in a comfortable minibus (with a driver). Gerard shared interesting historical tidbits about Barcelona, Girona and Catalonia in general during the drive. Gerard made Besalu and Girona come alive for us - he knows those towns so well! He accommodated our interests and remained flexible with the kids' needs. Gerard is incredibly knowledgeable, speaks 7 languages fluently (his English is perfect!), and clearly loves what he does. He is easy to connect with, both for adults and kids. Overall, just an incredible experience. I very enthusiastically recommend Gerard and BCN Hidden Tours.

We have 5 in our group who flew in from Toronto just after noon time for a 7-night cruise embarking the same day. With this tight schedule, we were looking for a private transfer which would allow us to make a stop at La Sagrada Familia for some pictures, as two of us have never been to Barcelona and would like to have a glimpse of this famous attraction. Xavier was very responsive to our initial inquiry and all follow-up emails and courteous in letting us fit this in our very tight time-frame and shown us a couple of landmarks without having to pay a lot more. Our flight arrived slightly earlier than scheduled and Xavier was almost there when we called. He is friendly and welcoming. His driving was excellent and we felt safe and comfortable. We also booked our return transfer from the cruise port back to BCN airport right after disembarkation. His partner, Roger, was also a very good driver. We will definitely use their service again if we return to this beautiful Spanish city in the future.
