Trip was good and enjoyable. Major issue was the weather. It rained almost the entire tour, except in Andorra (probably because Andorra is in a valley). The tour company did their best to keep us warm and dry and entertained and informed throughout the trip.

The excursion was really good, the drive through the mountains was amazing, and the tour guide was fantastic. The one weak stop was the stop in France.

Our guide Chavi did an excellent job touring us through all 3 countries and the various stops we made along the tour. He provided insightful commentary in each town and while driving between locations, and our group was relaxed and entertaining the entire time. Would recommend for someone looking for a day trip from Barcelona.

Panoramic views along the way. Our tour guide Enrique was very knowledgeable, lots of interesting information along the drive, he walked us around at each stop to point out places to eat, shop and take pictures. My only suggestion would be not to go on a Monday as alot of shops and restaurants were closed.
Also, be prepared to find your way back to your hotel. The bus drops off at a different location and there is no Wifi in the city.

David was very friendly, knowledgeable and kind. He made it a great day in spite of the weather. Andorra was a bucket list country for me and he helped get to the Hard Rock in Andorra as I collect memorabilia. Thank you David!!
