This hotel was in a great centralized location so it was easy to get to anywhere. However, after dark, the area felt a little unsafe. We did not really stay out late at night while staying there. There was a lot of street noise at night as it is in a very populated area so sleep on our first night was hard. That was solved when we played white noise on our phones. The staff was wonderful and the breakfast was amazing! I really enjoyed a quiet breakfast by myself in the morning.

Begur is such a charming town and Alta House Begur just added to the town's charm. The staff was wonderful. The views were amazing, especially on the rooftop. The breakfast felt like such a retreat each morning as I sat in the garden by the pool, surrounded by the beautiful mountain views. Alta House is a beautiful place to rest and experience a retreat from the world.

Carla is the perfect guide for this - each place she picked was different in the food, atmosphere, and personality. We really enjoyed learning from her about the food, the places, and just her love for Barcelona. It was also the perfect first activity to do on our first day to give us a sense of the city.

Caterina was wonderful. Her passion for the beauty of the city really came through and really helped us to appreciate everything that we saw. She was very accommodating to us as we had our sons with us. They were getting tired near the end. She recommended a great local place for tapas and even walked us there.

The tour of the Boqueria Market was very brief and it was difficult to hear with all the noise. We did not really spend much time at the stands and couldn't really purchase anything. However, I think it was because we needed to make it back in time for the cooking class which was awesome. Our chef/teacher (Janella) was great-she was funny, clear with her instructions, and her excitement for the food and cooking was infectious. We loved everything we cooked.

This was by far our family's favorite activity of all the ones we did during our stay in Spain. We did the 8-hour tour with Ola. The time amount was perfect for all the activities we did-kayak, snorkeling, and cliff-jumping. Ola was such a great guide from his clear, funny instructions to encouragements throughout the adventure that allowed us to feel comfortable to get out of our comfort zone, take some risks, and enjoy ourselves. He was exceptionally wonderful with our boys, who felt very comfortable and safe with him as he taught them how to cliff jump for the first time. I asked if we could do something small to celebrate my husband's birthday, which was the day of our trip with Ola. He took the time to get a special Catalan dessert so we could sing happy birthday to end our day. It was the perfect celebration. We cannot say enough great things about Mr. Ola and our time learning from him and enjoying the Mediterranean Sea. If you have the chance, definitely do this-an unforgettable fun day!
