Itinerary
Start this tour directly from your hotel or apartment in Barcelona city. We come to pick you up, so please be sure to let us know exactly where you are staying. Enjoy an overview of Barcelona city along the route, pass by Catalunya Square, Barcelona Cathedral, Passeig de Gracia and the Gaudi Houses, such as the Batllo and the Pedrera, and many other highlights.
Continue your tour to Figueres, a small town near the French border and the birthplace of Salvador Dalí, only fifteen kilometres away from the Mediterranean Sea, at the foot of the Pyrenees and surrounded by three natural parks. You'll be fascinated by the Dalí Theatre-Museum, both inside and outside, and by the vibrant lifestyle of this small town. Explore the streets where Dalí spent his early years, as well as some of the places he frequented as an adult.
Dali wanted to leave a mark on his own native city and decided to built the Dali Theatre-Museum upon the ruins of the old municipal theatre. This present that Dali gave to the city is considered as the largest work of surrealist art in the world. Plunge deep into the painter's creative mind by visiting the museum and experiencing a comprehensive collection of the peculiar exhibitions. Get prepared to be amazed by this inspiring piece of art that will definitely mark your day.
Dalí Joyas is a permanent exhibition of the Dalí Theater-Museum in Figueres (Girona). The exhibition, which shows the jewels that Dalí designed between 1941 and 1979, includes the thirty-seven jewels of gold and precious stones from the Owen Cheatham collection, two jewels made later, and the twenty-seven drawings and sketches that Salvador Dalí made to design the jewels.
Discover the beautiful coves of the Costa Brava with its turquoise water.

Traveler reviews
Great day learning all about Dali!!!
If you’re considering a day tour from Barcelona, stop looking — book with Nuri. This was hands-down one of the best days of my entire trip. Nuri picked me up right at my Airbnb door, exactly on time, and from that moment the day was flawless. We headed to the Dalí Museum, and I cannot overstate how much her expertise transformed the experience. Her explanations were engaging, insightful, and made the art genuinely come alive in a way that no wall placard or audio guide ever could. I walked away with a real understanding and appreciation of Dalí’s work that I simply would not have gotten on my own. From there, we made our way to the Costa Brava, where we had a wonderful lunch right on the Mediterranean — beautiful views, relaxed atmosphere, perfect. After lunch, Nuri took me on a coastal walk and revealed a hidden cove that felt like a genuine secret — one of those lovely surprises that makes a trip memorable. We also visited a charming medieval town before she drove me back and dropped me at my door. The value for everything packed into this day is remarkable. Nuri is knowledgeable, warm, punctual, and clearly passionate about sharing her region. She is the best guide I’ve ever had. Highest possible recommendation — don’t hesitate.
Worth the trip!!
This place is jawdropping. Amazing set up and creatively curated. It has works from every part of Dali's life and it is set up so you can enjoy it easily. It's also in a cute little town that you can walk around in for a bit before or after.
Amazing Day with Dali and Anatoli
Anatoli was an amazing tour guide. His knowledge of Dali was deep and well delivered. He had visited the Dali museum in St. Pete Florida where we live so we had a lot of discussions about the differences between the two museums. We had a wonderful day with him and completed the day with him to beautiful Costa Brava.
Private Tour to Dali Museum
What a wonderful tour. Anatoli was punctual and so informative and well-studied. The information he shared was relevant and ever-so interesting. He is a subject-matter expert and always striving to learn more. The tour of the museum would have been a waste without Anatoli guiding us to the highlights with excellent explanations at each step of the way. He has a broad array of knowledge about the area as well. We would request Anatoli in the future. What a great day and great value. Thank you, Anatoli.
Best of the bes5
My tour guide, Nuri was absolutely amazing. She was highly informative but also very welcoming and truly a friend. The Dali experience along with the other sights and tastes were impeccable. I've been on many tours, but this was likely my favorite of all. I'd recommend this to other solo travelers, but also groups and children. I can't speak highly enough about my experience.
