Go Beyond Barcelona — Private Day Trips, Your Way

Your group, and only your group. No coach, no strangers, no fixed departure time you have to make. From the moment we collect you to the moment we drop you back, the day belongs to your party alone — the pace, the stops, how long you linger somewhere you love. "Private" elsewhere can quietly mean a shared van or a guide juggling several families; here it means what it says.

As early as you reasonably can — and earlier in summer or over holidays. The places worth seeing run on limited daily capacity, and the most sought-after — the Montserrat choir, the Dalí museum among them — book out well ahead in high season. Once a date is gone it's gone, so the sooner we have your dates, the more of the day we can lock in exactly as you'd want it. Even a rough plan months out is worth a message; we'll tell you honestly what's still open.

Often, yes. Some destinations pair naturally — Girona with the Dalí museum, Girona with the coast, Montserrat with the Penedès — either in one full day or spread across two. Montserrat also works as a half-day if you'd rather keep an afternoon free. The honest answer depends on distances and how much you want to fit without the day turning into a marathon, so tell us what you're hoping to see and we'll shape something realistic.

Your private transport, and a guide with you for the day, are the core of what you book. Entries and reservations — museum tickets, the rack railway at Montserrat, a winery tasting — are arranged on your behalf and billed alongside, because they're bought in advance at each venue's own rate. Professional photography of your group is available as an add-on on many of our days. We'll lay out exactly what your day includes before you commit — no surprises at the end.

Almost entirely. A ship's excursion, or any coach tour, is priced per head and run for a busload — strangers, and a guide with a group run close to the legal maximum the city allows, led behind a raised paddle on a fixed itinerary and a fixed clock. A private day is priced for your group, not per person, so once you split it across your party the per-person cost is far closer than most people expect — for a day that isn't remotely the same thing. You're not following a flag. You're not waiting on stragglers. The day bends to you, not the other way around.

Yes to both. We meet you right at the terminal and plan the whole day around your ship's departure, with margin built in, so you're back in good time. It's the question cruisers ask most — and in more than 23 years, it's a promise we've never treated lightly. Message us with your ship and dates and we'll tell you honestly which destinations fit your window.

Gladly, and it's often the better way to do it. Tell us how long you're in town and what you'd like to see, and we'll plan the days as a whole — a day trip out to the mountains, a morning in the old city, a driving tour, time on the bikes — sequenced so they balance and nothing repeats. It's arranged with one person, run to one standard, and handled as a single trip, rather than a folder of bookings from five different companies that don't talk to each other.

We can't predict the weather, so we don't cancel or refund for it — but we don't just push on regardless either. We'll adapt the day to make the most of the conditions, reorder stops, and shelter the worst of it where we can. You're always free to call the day off yourself, but a cancellation on your side doesn't carry a refund. In practice, a private guide who can change the plan on the spot is exactly what you want on a day the weather turns.
