Superb trip with wonderful guides.

Overall the experience was really good. Jordi (George) and Roger were excellent guides. This is a quick but satisfying trip across 3 places near Barcelona - Montserrat, Girona and Costa Brava. Of the three the Montserrat visit is the best. Girona is second, you cover most of the important places and get a very good flavor of the town. But it's obviously not enough to see every attraction in depth, the organizers never claim that to be the case and they're very upfront about it. But they give you space to go see the place by yourself. Costa Brava is a bit rushed. But again it's upto you what you want to get out of it. You egt approximately 1.75 hours by yourself here. Overall great experience. We did the trip in summer so a stronger ac in the bus and a toilet would have helped since it's a very long day.
