Climbing our via ferrata is an exhilarating way to discover the natural beauty of Catalonia. Experience the adrenaline rush of climbing a via ferrata on this unique tour with your own highly skilled local guide. A via ferrata is a protected climbing route, basically, a modern via ferrata is a steel cable which runs along the route and is periodically fixed to the rock. With the aid of a via ferrata kit, climbers can secure themselves to the safety cable, limiting any fall. The cable can also be used as aid to climbing, and additional climbing aids, such as iron rungs, pegs, carved steps and even ladders and bridges are often provided.

We traveled with six adults for a 2 day vacation in Barcelona and then a 7 day cruise and back to Barcelona for the trip home. We used Bohigas airport transfer to pick us up at airport, carry us to Hotel. They then picked us up at Hotel to transport us to the cruise ship. They then picked us up from the port after the cruise to take us back to airport. On all three occasions, the service was impeccable!! The drivers were very attentive and courteous. We had alot of bags and all fit very well in the van which was so comfortable we felt like celebrities. Without question, these guys are the REAL DEAL!! If you're planning a trip to Barcelona and need any transport, make sure you have Bohigas airport transfer in your speed dial. I promise you won't be disappointed. I need to mention one thing, they will keep you updated by text. We arrived about 2 hours earlier from our cruise than our scheduled pickup. I just text them that we were at the port and they came to pick us up with 20mins. We were very happy about that. Outstanding!!!!!!!!!

Fabulous experience!! Priscila was the best tour guide. She walked us thru Gothic streets and took us to places that was not part of the tour. So worth the tour and highly recommend Priscila who speaks very fluent English and has immense patience. She is extremely knowledgable and engages us in the history of each site we had been to. Perfectly paced tour with a nice coffee break and a decent lunch.

Uni was a great tour guide! He was very knowledgeable about Barcelona and Montserrat and he was the perfect guide for a hiking trip. He has lots of experience when it comes to outdoor adventure, but he also knows how to slow it down if need be. Anyone interested in nature, history, hiking, or architecture should definitely take this tour with Uni! 10/10 highly recommended!

This tour was excellent. It was a private tour - just me + my 20 yr old son. Marc was our guide. He was very engaging + knowledgable. Everything he discussed was relevant and interesting. He met us at our hotel and brought us to the Jewish Quarter. That was key because a friend of mine never found it when she was there!! I highly recommend this tour. It was the highlight of our stay in Barcelona!
