Review of a private Pyrenees hiking day trip from Barcelona, with hotel pickup, local guides, custom routes, mountain views, and practical tips.

“this was a wonderful hike pretty challenging. Our guide picked us up promptly at our hotel in Barcelona. Then we drove about an hour and a half to a small little café to review our trail choices. We were able to get a cup of coffee and a sandwich for the hike. The hike we chose was a little more challenging for me so I had to stop and rest while my friend actually did the summit ha ha.”
