Private Day Tours — Discover Catalonia Beyond Barcelona
Travel like a local, away from the crowds.
Barcelona is just the beginning. Within an hour or two, you can experience a completely different side of Catalonia — from ancient mountain monasteries and medieval towns to the wild Costa Brava coastline and surreal landscapes that shaped Salvador Dalí.

Every tour is 100% private and fully customizable — available as a half-day, full-day, or multi-destination trip, built entirely around your pace, style, and interests.

FAQ: Private Day Trips from Barcelona
Do I need to pay in advance to book a private tour?
No advance payment is required to secure your booking — you are welcome to pay after your tour. However, if you prefer the convenience of paying in advance, we are happy to arrange that for you.
(Please note: Non-refundable third-party admission tickets purchased on your behalf or large groups requiring a minibus may require an advance deposit).
Are your day trips strictly private, or will we share with a group?
Every tour we run is 100% private. It will be just you, your family or travel partners, and your local guide. We never combine separate bookings or run shared group tours.
Where do the tours start and end?
We provide door-to-door service. Your private guide and driver will pick you up directly from your Barcelona hotel, apartment, or accommodation and drop you off at the end of the day. Cruise port pickup and drop-off are also available upon request for an additional fee.
Can we customize the itinerary or change the pace during the trip?
Absolutely. Because our tours are completely private, you set the pace. Whether you want an extra coffee stop, a longer lunch at a local restaurant, or want to linger a bit more at a panoramic view, your guide will adapt the day entirely to your preferences.
How far in advance should we book admission tickets for places like Montserrat or the Dalí Museum?
Popular attractions like the Dalí Theatre-Museum in Figueres or the Black Madonna sanctuary at Montserrat require timed entrance tickets. We recommend booking your tour as early as possible so we can secure optimal time slots on your behalf before they sell out.
What happens if it rains or the weather is bad on the day of our tour?
Luckily, with around 300 sunny days a year, bad weather in Catalonia is very rare! But on the off-chance of heavy rain, our guides monitor the forecast closely. Since all our tours are 100% private, we can easily tweak the day’s schedule on the fly — switching to cozy indoor experiences, historic sites, or local museums so you still have a fantastic day regardless of the weather.
Are lunch and drinks included in the tour price?
Food and drinks are not included in the base tour price, giving you total freedom over what and where you eat. Your guide will recommend authentic, non-touristy local spots — from casual tapas bars to traditional Catalan masies (country restaurants) — tailored to your tastes and dietary needs.
