What people love about Hiking & Trekking Tours in Pyrenees
Alberto, the head guide, was great! He contacted me prior to the date and made everything easy. He picked me up in Barcelona and from that point on, everything was taken care of. All of the guides were exceptional with their ability, knowledge and caring. I didn't know what to expect when I booked it but I am So Glad I Did!!!
"Ancient Paths" Hiking in Spanish Pyrenees
- Vermillion Coast Trek (Collioure, Cadaqués), Self-guided Walking Tour
A big thank you for organizing such an amazing holiday for our big family. This tour matched exactly our needs and the itinerary was flexible enough to keep each of us entertained on a daily basis. The biggest merit, except for the beautiful region itself, is that one can choose between an easier (coastal) hike and a slightly more difficult option, following the ridges of the Pyrenees. The accommodations, food, route notes and luggage transfers were faultless. I can highly recommend this tour, and if possible go there early spring or in fall when it is not too hot.
- The French Basque Country Trek: Ocean-to-Mountains (Self-guided Hiking Tour)
A very special region of the Pyrenees, which we eventually visited after postponing the tour for a couple of years. And we didn't regret it! The trails were not crowded, which was surprising for us, but enjoyed this extra. Overall a most enjoyable and highly recommended tour, which was perfectly organized for us.
