2.
Begin your exhilarating Andorra day trip from Barcelona by passing the majestic Montserrat Mountain, renowned for its unique rounded shape. As we journey towards the Spanish Pyrenees, prepare to ascend to great heights and explore the heart of this breathtaking range. Nestled at an elevation of 3,800 feet, a hidden gem awaits—a picturesque valley adorned with a stunning lake. Immerse yourself in the scenic beauty of this Pyrenean paradise, where beech and pine forests provide sanctuary to a variety of wildlife. Amidst this natural splendor, enjoy a brief stop to indulge in a steaming cup of coffee and locally made pastries, offering the perfect opportunity to recharge before continuing our journey towards Andorra.
3. Baga
Before we bid Spain farewell and continue our Andorra day trip from Barcelona, we make a delightful stop in the charming medieval village of Bagà. With its origins dating back to the 8th century, Bagà is nestled within the scenic natural park of Cadí-Moixeró, an integral part of the Pyrenees Alp. Take a leisurely stroll through the historical heart of this medieval gem as we embark on a short walking tour. Immerse yourself in the rich history of Bagà, discovering its local festivals, traditions, and architectural marvels.

Explore the city's selection of attractions as we embark on a walking tour, meandering through narrow alleys and immersing ourselves in the historical essence of the capital. Andorra is indeed renowned for its shopping, and it is only due to the affordability of certain items such as groceries, alcohol, tobacco, and gas. Furthermore, Andorra's shopping scene mainly features low-end brands, and high-end or designer brands are not prevalent. Considering this fact, it's important to note that all our focus during this tour is centered on sightseeing and discovering the region's rich history and culture rather than the shopping experience.

This trip was fascinating. Adrien our driver had so much information about Spain, France, and Andorra. Went with my wife and 2 mid 20’s children and everyone was attentive and impressed from the start. The van is roomy and comfortable. The stops were amazing for photos. We learned so much history about Catalonia along the way. Quick photo stop at Monserrat before hitting France. The drive through the Pyrenees was breathtaking. Got a passport stamp in Andorra. Lots of medieval history lessons. We had know idea that Andorra was a ski haven. As Canadians we had a true appreciation for the snowfall stories. Lunch was spectacular. It is a long day but well worth it.

Our trip to Andorra and the French Pyrenees exceeded expectation. I have never been anywhere as beautiful this. Our tour guide Adrian stopped at all the right places. We saw Montserrat. We went to the medieval town of Baga, that dates back to the 9th century. We went to a fantastic restaurant for lunch. We saw beautiful churches, a monastery and ruins. Adrian's knowledge of the region and its history was fascinating. Plenty of opportunities to take amazing pictures. Totally worthwhile trip.

We recently used Viator for our Andorra country tour, and they exceeded our expectations. After reading numerous positive reviews, we were excited and they did not disappoint. Our driver, Adrian, picked us up promptly from our hotel in Barcelona.

The tour included several picturesque stops, starting with a breathtaking close-up view of Montserrat near the monastery. We also made various stops along the journey to take souvenir pictures. On our way to Andorra, we visited Baga, a small medieval town with a rich history, which was a delightful surprise.

One of the most memorable experiences was the dramatic weather changes. We transitioned from dry weather to rain, and then to snow within minutes as we drove through different elevations. My kids, having never seen snow before, were thrilled by this unexpected highlight.

Upon arrival in Andorra, Adrian chose an excellent restaurant for lunch, adding to our memorable experience. Adrian’s extensive knowledge of Andorra and the surrounding areas, combined with his friendly and professional demeanor, made the tour exceptional. He truly felt like family, and there was never an awkward moment. His expertise as a driver and as an Andorra resident expert greatly enhanced our trip.

We are grateful to Viator and especially to Adrian for providing such a wonderful experience. This is a trip we will always cherish.

Our tour to Andorra was more than we ever imagined. From our pickup in Barcelona, we drove through Spain, France, and Andorra. We even saw Montserrat in the Pyrenees! Adrian knew so many special places for us to get magnificent photos. He attended graciously to our needs and expectations. We stopped for a break and had phenomenal French pastries, and the place he suggested for lunch was one of our best meals during our 24 day stay in Spain and Portugal.
We learned so much, and Adrian even followed up with us after the tour by sending us suggestions for our last day in Barcelona and a reading list to learn more about WWII in this area.
I highly recommend Adrian and this peek into lovely Andorra!! You won’t be disappointed!!

My friends and I took this tour with Adrian. It was fantastic. Adrian was an outstanding tour guide and a safe driver! We were very comfortable in his Mercedes van during the trip. We wanted to see Andorra and we certainly enjoyed that but the trip was so much more. We made several stops along the way and Adrian took our picture at these scenic spots. He answered our many questions about the area including information about Barcelona that we had questions about. All in all, it was a wonderful tour and worth every penny! I am NOT a fan of tour buses with 40+ tourists and a guide speaking through a microphone so this tour with Adrian was exactly what I wanted!

I wanted to visit Andorra because I am fascinated by tiny countries, how they maintain independence, and how they became micro-nations in the first place. So, on our most recent visit to Barcelona I jumped at the opportunity to add the small mountain nation of Andorra to our list of UN countries.

Now that the trip is complete, I have to say the experience absolutely exceeded our expectations in every way. Our day trip with our guide Adrian was perfect — as this tiny country is full of history, charm, shops, and ski slopes in the Pyrenees Mountains.

Adrian had a great sense of humor and was professional, knowledgeable, and a fantastic storyteller. If you can splurge for a private tour with him, we highly recommend it! You can tell that he took great care to plan the itinerary and everything worked out perfectly from start to finish. The journey was comfortable, relaxing, and informative. Amazing memories!
