Tour Details
Programme & inclusions
1 Arrival
2 The Dalì universe – hotel change
Tour in the footsteps of Dalí: Visit to Girona and Figueres (his hometown). Girona, one of the most beautiful medieval cities in northern Catalonia with origins dating back to Roman times: tour of the Old Town and the Cathedral, built between the 11th and 18th centuries, with the long and wide staircase in front of the main portal, one of the landmarks of Girona. On to Figueres, a city deeply connected to Salvador Dalí. The eccentric Catalan artist was born and also buried here. Visit to the Dalí Theatre-Museum, a work of art in the surrealist style of the artist, emerging from the ruins of the city theatre destroyed in the Spanish Civil War. His grave is-located in the basement of the museum, part of the Dalí Triangle, which also includes his house in Port Lligat (Cadaqués) and the Castell de Púbol.
1 x 6-hour guided tour of the Dalì Universe (Girona and Figueres)
1 x entrance fee to the Dalì Museum
3 Catalunya roots
Tour in the heart of the most authentic Catalonia, taking a leap of 1000 years to explore some of the most characteristic and picturesque villages in this area. While the coast buzzes with activity, just a few kilometers further inland, time seems to stand still. Opportunity to taste some tapas independently
1 x 6-hour guided tour of Catalunya’s Medieval Towns (Vic, Besalù, Castellfolit de la Roca)
4 Barcelona and the Sagrada Familia
Start of the tour in the centre of Barcelona, beginning at Plaza Catalunya and the famous La Rambla, the city's main promenade, followed by a visit to the Boqueria Market, showcasing typical Spanish products. Exploration of the Gothic and Born neighbourhoods, including the famous Barcelona Cathedral (admission not included) and the Catedral del Mar, which has inspired books and television series with its history. Afternoon visit to Gaudi's Sagrada Familia, one of the most significant churches in the world. Final bus ride down the iconic Passeig de Gràcia, home to Gaudí’s modernist masterpieces, including Casa Batlló and Casa Milà.

5 Montserrat and Penedes wine region
Visit to Montserrat, one of the world’s most fascinating monasteries, perched on a mountain overlooking the Llobegrat valley, through which the river eventually flows into the Mediterranean. Rack railway ride down to the valley for a memorable view. Afternoon visit to Penedès, one of the most important wine regions in Spain, known for its famous Cava or Spanish “champagne”.

6 From Spain to France with a stop in Marseille – hotel change
Back to France, stopping in Marseille to visit France’s second-largest city. Marseille is often touted as the new Barcelona, as both cities share the same glistening Mediterranean shores. The city has a rich sense of itself – this is, after all, where La Marseillaise, the French national anthem, originated from – and sitting at the crossroads of the southern French and North African cultures, it offers edgy art, sumptuous history and delicious food.
1 x 3-hour guided walking tour of Marseille
7 Nice and Cannes
Guided tour of Nice, dominated by the historic Hotel Negresco, symbol of the city’s splendour, along with the sandy Promenade des Anglais. Afternoon in Cannes, location of the famous film festival and home to a sophisticated and cosmopolitan atmosphere.
