The tour was awesome! Tourists were able to see the different filming locations of GOT in Girona. The tour leader, Sergio is very professional, knowledgeable, friendly and made all the members of the group involved during the tour. He’s always giving us insights and some history of Girona and of course about the GOT filming sites. Also, Sergio drove the car very safely all throughout the trip. Don’t hesitate to ask him for some restaurant and food recommendations. Kudos to Sergio! The lunch included in the tour was delicious and it was a complete course meal! I highly recommend this tour to everyone planning a trip to Barcelona. It’s worth it!
Unfortunately we did not get to experience this tour as the operators informed us that it was not available in our chosen day! Instead we were offered a tour which took us to Girona and the filming sites of Game of Thrones without the commentary. Our guide did provide basic information though. Sadly though, an ice cream and lunch were included in our original tour but we we’re not offered these on our tour and we were also not discounted! I cannot fault our guide Xavi, he was amazing! I feel the operators could have compensated us though! Xavi was an excellent guide showing us the best spots for photos and driving us safely through some difficult situations. Thank you for an enjoyable day out Xavi!🙏
The best decision on our Barcelona holiday. Just mega. We booked the complete program. Game of Thrones movie sets were awesome. The lunch included in the price was great. Our Guid Steven was mega accommodating and took his time he knows very well and you filled up well. Definitely worth every penny. Would book it again.
What a fabulous adventure! Perfect for Game of Thrones fans and more! Costa Brava is so pretty and the history comes alive!
The tour was incredible, and a big part of that was Enrique incredible ability to bring it to life. His engaging personality and ability to make the tour feel a truly memorable experience.
Enrique was possibly the best tour guide we have ever had and we’ve had a lot of tours. He was very engaging, funny and full of knowledge. The tour itself was worth it but he made it so complete.
The drive is about an hour to get there. Be advised: Girona has a lot of stairs! We enjoyed the tour and the sights. Cam, our tour guide, was very enthusiastic about the locations and the scenes. We both really enjoyed the tour!
Love the Game of Thrones sites, Jamie Lannister ice pop and the delicious lunch! Our guide Sergi was also great!
Our tour guide, Camilo was friendly, entertaining AND a HUGE GOT fan! After the lengthy tour we got to explore on our own in Girona. Followed by a delicious lunch in the countryside and a stop at a castle with amazing views of the seaside. Was nice to get out of Barcelona for the day and explore.
This was an amazing tour. Sergio, our guide, helped us visualize the scenes filmed in Girona by showing us the pictures as we approached the areas where the scenes were filmed. He knew the movies and the GOT books, therefore there were no details missed. Our lunch was delicious. The castle in Blane’s had spectacular views of Costa Brava. Sergio made the tour feel like we were a group of friends hanging out touring the world. Hats off to Sergio for a wonderful tour of the GOT and Costa Brava.
