Itinerary
Our experience will start in this beautiful city! From here we will depart to Andorra, the journey will take us around 3 hours. You can escape from the city´s stress, and discover the fresh air in the Pyrenees.
Discover this charming village of Mont-Louis, nestled in the French Pyrenees. It’s famous for its impressive fortifications, rich history, and breathtaking mountain views. Take a leisurely stroll through its cobbled streets and feel the contrast between the fresh mountain air and the warmth of the sun as you explore this UNESCO World Heritage site.
Discover this enchanting spot near the Cirque de Pessons. It’s renowned for its stunning ski slopes, crystal-clear lakes, and pristine mountain air. Take a moment to dip your feet in the cool glacial waters and experience the contrast between the crisp air and the refreshing waters.
Discover the capital of the small independent state of Andorra! Here you will meet its landscapes, the views of its ski slopes and its iconic capital, Andorra la Vella. You will discover the landmarks of the city with our tour leader and learn about monuments like Casa de la Vall, Dali´s watch, San Esteve XII century church... and for sure, about its political situation and history! You will have also free time to explore one of its most magic streets, Meritxell´s avenue.
Pass by: It is the former headquarters of the General Council of Andorra and was built in 1580 as the ancestral home and defense tower of the Busquets family. In 1702 it was acquired by the General Council. In June 2003 it was listed as an Asset of Cultural Interest in Andorra.
Pass by: It is an avenue that crosses Andorra la Vella from west to east. It forms part of the old royal road and the traditional road of the valleys of Andorra, today converted into an avenue and the country's main commercial axis. Along the avenue we find shops, several shopping centers and department stores such as Pyrénées, Escale and Hyper Andorra. Almost all the banks in the country have their headquarters in this commercial area. The avenue bears the name of the patron saint of Andorra, the Virgin of Meritxell, whose sanctuary is located in Meritxell (Canillo).

Traveler reviews
Fun, but not as advertised.
Blanca was wonderful. The bus driver was very nice. It was an ok trip. I was not happy that things were adjusted and the tour was not "as advertised". I was looking forward to the stops on the ad. Also the reservation should mention 80% of the shopping is closed on Sunday. Don't book on a Sunday!!
My best trip in Barcelona
Best choice from my trip to Barcelona.. I was afraid of getting too hot by the heat and by too many people. Thanks god there is this tour to save my worries. I enjoy it so so much. Meeting point is easy to find.. The guide Bianca and her driver work very very professional. Top of the top of my trip.. After this trip you enjoy eating paella by the beach barceloneta at ease. Thank you guys. 👌🙏
Don’t book this tour!! Horrible communication
Booked this experience months in advance only to show up and no tour. Was told earlier that meeting place was changed but then when looked online saw that it was changed again. Showed up along with 8 other people on tour only to find out that our tour was cancelled and meeting point was changed again. Horrible communication with this provider. DO NOT BOOK WITH THIS COMPANY!!!
Interesting experience....
Interesting experience. Our tour guide, Laura, was knowledgeable, informative, and friendly. She did a very nice job. The tour itself was well planned and well executed. The scenery is amazing and Andorra is lovely The microphone in our bus didn’t work, so we had to go to the bus barn and switch buses. Resulted in about an hour delay, which made an already long day even longer. About an hour’s backup to cross the border from Andorra to Spain made it even longer. No shade to the tour company for either situation. The bus was clean and appeared well maintained, but stuff breaks from time to time. The tour company doesn’t control Spanish customs.
Cover a lot of ground in one day.
Laura the guide was passionate and helpful. Long day on a bus. Worth it for the sites you see. Andora is a neat place to visit. The mountain scenery is beautiful. Pick up was smooth and the guide sent instructions and useful information via chat feature on the app for the tour provider.
