Explore Catalunya

About the activity provider

Explore Catalunya draws on over 15 years experience in the day tour market. We believe passionately in what we do, and it’s not merely marketing hype to say that our customer’s satisfaction is also our satisfaction. Our roots lie in small group tours, meaning that we specialise in making every tour the kind of intimate experience you’d normally only find by travelling independently. We don’t believe in holding the hands of our clients as we lead them from one attraction to the next, following a strict timetable with no room for flexibility. But what we do believe in passionately is letting our clients discover the wonders of Barcelona and the region at their own pace and in their own time. Of course, our tours have a fixed structure and a timetable that must be followed, but we have organised our days in such a way that there’s plenty of opportunity to make each and every one of our tours feel personal and unique. If we had to sum up what we’re about, we’d say that we give our guests the keys to unlock the secrets of Catalunya for themself. Today, we continue to offer a comprehensive range of small group tours, but we are also able to adapt any of our tours for the larger groups we now host from the cruise ship and MICE travel sectors. We pride ourselves on taking our guests away from the crowds and away from the well beaten tourist paths. Our very experienced and enthusiastic guides are always on hand, but we also encourage the group to go off on their own and explore by themselves. While we visit the ‘must see’ sights of Barcelona and Catalunya, we also go out of our way to show the secret corners of the region and let our guests experience firsthand the love for life that is so much a part of the Mediterranean people. Whether we are running a three hour city tour for two, or a full day coastal tour for a larger group, we always strive to develop a relationship with our guests, no matter how brief. It’s that feeling of being special, not just another face, that helps build the memories peope will take back home. It’s that small extra effort that can make a world of difference. The individual is what really matters most to us. That’s not just something we say to impress. We know that our reputation is built on what our customers say about us. It’s a reputaion we’re very proud of. “I want to thank you for the truly phenomenal tour you gave us. That day was absolutely the highlight of our time in Spain and I have very fond memories...” “We appreciated your knowledge, energy, and passion for Catalunya. Thank you for sharing with us not only the beauty of your home, but, more importantly, the soul. We’ll never forget it.”
