Know More about this tour


8.15am - You will join your tour at our office, which is right across from the world famous Palau de la Musica. You will meet your guide and have an introduction as to what to expect during the day. Your tour begins at 8.30am, but we always recommend arriving 15 minutes before.
8.30am - You will leave Barcelona though the Example district of town. As you head out of the city, your guide will give you a brief history of Barcelona, before letting you sit back and relax on the 90 minute drive to Figueres.
10.00am All Year Long Schedules: You will arrive at the world famous Dalí Museum-Theatre in Figueres, the birthplace of Dalí, where you will be taken straight past the queues inside. Step inside the surreal world of Salvador Dalí and find a museum like none other. Dalí wanted visitors to see his massive collection as a ‘whole’ work, and for this reason he wanted no catalogues and refused to have his works placed in chronological or subject order. Inside is a world of fantasy mixed with architecture mixed with paintings and sculptures. It’s a complete surrealistic experience.
1.00pm REST OF YEAR SCHEDULE September 1st - June 30th: After a morning discovering the art of Dalí, you will head to the beautiful coastal village of Cadaqués. Famous for its white washed Mediterranean houses, narrow shady streets, and sandy bay, this is one of the most picturesque villages on the Costa Brava. But what really stands out for many people is the dramatic drive there, which offers some of the best views in the whole of Catalunya. This is the perfect place for lunch. In the afternoon you will travel just a few minutes up the coast to the even smaller village of Port Lligat.
3.30pm REST OF YEAR SCHEDULE September 1st - June 30th: Port Lligat is where Dalí sought the peace and quiet that truly inspired him. This stunning little bay is where he first built then enlarged a simple fisherman's cottage into a magnificent and unique home. You will have the chance to visit inside this unusual building. His studio looks as if he has just stepped out for a stroll, and thanks to the careful way it has been maintained, it's easy to image he is still living in the house. Your guide will regale you with stories about his life there and the, share some secrets about his unusual marriage to his beloved Gala. NOTE: Your tickets will have been pre booked by the office. If you want to take advantage of this, please pay the guide during the day.
1.45pm SUMMER SCHEDULE July 1st - Sep 30th We arrive at the quaint medieval coastal town of Sant Martí in plenty of time for you to enjoy a typical local lunch, or perhaps grab a sandwich and enjoy some beach time in one of the prettiest villages on the Costa Brava.
4.00pm SUMMER SCHEDULE JULY 1st - SEPTEMBER 30th: You will arrive in the tiny villages of Pubol where you will have the chance to explore the curious castle that Dalí bought for his wife, and made it her sanctuary. Entry price is not included in the ticket price, but we will make pre reservations for all who want to visit inside. Not to Miss!
6.30-7.00pm - We end the day by the Arc de Triumf, which is just a few minutes walk from our office. From here, you can easily take the metro or a taxi back to your hotel. Otherwise, your guide will be more than happy to make some recommendations of where to have dinner.

    I wish I had read these reviews before booking. As has happened to a number of others, the tour did not go to Cadaques or Dali House - the guide citing that it’s too long a drive and too busy. We randomly stopped at a small town for 90mins which was ill equipped and a number of people unable to eat. We could have used that time to drive to Cadaques - which was the only reason I booked as I have visited theatre Museum previously. On a plus point, they kindly waited a few minutes for me when I was delayed on metro bus replacement - but I wish I had got off the bus before it left. A waste of my time and money. A partial refund should be offered.

    Great places! Great guide! Everything was smooth and on time. The guide gave nice presentation and tips, answered all questions.

    I really enjoyed the tour. Sergio our tour guide provided a wonderful commentary. We visited some very interesting places and learned a little about Salvador Dali, his passions in art and his partner in life, wife Gala.

    Dalí Small Group Tour: Museum, Dali House, Cadaques & Pubol By the name of this tour and the description, a person would assume that you would get a small group tour of the Dali Museum. We were admitted to the museum, shone some postcard highlights, and then given a time to meet back at the front. Other small groups were actually given a tour, but not us. Also, the tour mentions by name Cadaques. We did not go there because the tour guide said the roads were too long and winding. Instead we went to L'Escara for lunch. It is a very small touristy beach town with 2 restaurants. They were overpriced and not good. Then we went to Pubol to explore the Dali Castle. It was a disappointing day. Please do not even mention Cadaques if you do not plan on going there.

    Excellent tour! Our tour guide, Enrique, was very knowledgeable and friendly! He was happy to answer questions and gave lots of information throughout the entire tour, but also gave us some time to soak in the scenery during the drive (1.5 hours from Barcelona to the Dali museum if my memory serves me). Highly recommend this activity for lovers of art and culture!

    Can, our guide, was very knowledgeable regarding Dali’s life and delivered his speech in an entertaining manner. The experience was everything we were looking forward to and hoped for.

    The entire trip was wonderful. During the ride from place to place was a history lesson. Sergio was wonderful tour guide

    The Dali tour was a very educational experience. Our guide Rod was excellent! Never a dull moment because of his sunny disposition.

    Camelo was a warm and highly knowledgable tour guide who helped make the “Dali Day” interesting and fun. The experience was enjoyable allowing us to take in a variety of landscapes: Figueres, San Martin, and Port lligat while learning about Dali’s fascinating art and life. Thank you, Cam!

    Our guide was a pleasure to talk with! It was fantastic to just sit back and know I was going to end up in the right place. I wish we'd had more time in the museum itself, but I wouldn't swap the time in Cadaques for anything... and I never would have ended up there but for this tour. I will definitely be exploring more tours with these folks next time we're in the area!
