Nowadays everything is called “local”. Although we respect classic group tours, we prefer to take tourism in another direction.
We control groups numbers to ensure you have the highest quality experience. Close attention and intimacy during your activity means it is your experience and nobody else´s.
We are close by and available to you, and always give you warm and friendly treatment. This happens before, during, and after your trip.

Often people don’t know what they are capable of… We offer you the possibility to discover new experiences without needing any previous training. We always adapt to to your capability.
For your unique experience, we customize your package. Together, we build the route to your new emotions and sensations.

MORE THAN A CITY
GROUPS
Barcelona is the city that never rests. During winter, the snow creates endless opportunities in the snow-capped mountains. Meanwhile in spring and summer, hundreds of adventure sports mean you are never short of things to do in Barcelona. A unique gastronomy full of seasonal dishes and fresh products will provide you the best dishes to eat all year round.
Whatever the origin and needs of your group, we’ll design your customized trip. To travel in a group no longer means limiting yourself to a closed package. You can choose any of our proposals, modify them and even request an integral customized trip - and yes, at the best price. There are lots of groups who have enjoyed this and there is nothing more satisfactory than doing what you like doing.
