Marvel at the colourful façades of the houses on the shores of the Onyar River, walk through the Old Town of Girona to visit the Call, one of the most well preserved Jewish neighbourhoods in Europe. Continue your walking tour of Girona into the Old City Walls, dating back to roman times. You can’t miss the chance to enjoy the great panoramic views of the city. Have a look to the largest Gothic Cathedral in the world, dating back to the XI century. Pass by the Museum of Archaeology and the Arab Baths, a Romanesque construction of the 12th century inspired by Roman baths.
The Onyar River is a river that passes by Girona and adds a layer of beauty to it. The colorful houses by the river gives off a beautiful reflection to the water, making it a sight to enjoy.
The Jewish neighbourhood of Girona, known as "El Call", is defined by its narrow, winding alleys and stone archways. You will be fascinated by the history of this place has to offer.
Explore the city walls of the historical city of Girona while your guide tells you about the story behind them.
Marvel at the symbol of the city, Cathedral of Girona or Saint Mary, which includes the widest Gothic nave in the world, with a width of 23 metres. It was famously known as "Great Sept of Baelor" in the TV show "Game of Thrones"
Here you will have a chance to discover the past and see the archeological discoveries of Girona and Catalonia. You will be amazed by how far the history goes back in this town.
The very-well conserved Arab Baths were built back in 12th century and still stands to this day.
Once you assured your visit back to Girona, we can now head to our next destination: the medieval village of Pals, a magical place, a home to experiences and traditional legends that will surprise you. A walk along these cobbled streets and alleys takes you straight back to the middle ages: there are stone arches, Moorish arches, Romanesque and Gothic doorways and windows ...
Enjoy a walking tour of this ancient fishing village formed by several coves. Calella de Palafrugell is one of the few places on the Costa Brava which still preserves the charm of the villages of the area before the arrival of mass tourism, with narrow streets, steep tiled roofs and some traditional two-floor fishermen’s dwellings.

Fantastic day with fantastic people guide weather and food - what a slice of Spain to experience from Girona to Costa Brava through history and swimming in the clear Mediterranean sea
It is a great day trip from Barcelona. It is packed with history and gorgeous scenery. It is a nice departure from the busy Barcelona scene.
Such a fun day with Manuel! He has great energy and is very funny. He kept things moving and made the experience so enjoyable. The van of 8 started off as strangers and ended up bonded because of him!
This was an amazing tour! Chema was a wonderful guide who made the day very easy and enjoyable! Our favorite tour of our Spain trip!
Manu was the most fun tour guide we have ever experienced. Knowledgeable, energetic, considerate. . . .so many things. Girona was beautiful even on a brutally hot day. The other small towns were worth the trip as well. Highly recommend the tour.
This tour was surprisingly wonderful! The description is accurate, detailing transportation and brief introduction to each of the stops… But the sites are quite captivating. I don’t think pictures can capture the uniqueness of each. Something you just have to go to see for yourself. Medieval towns and corridors, delicious lunch and swim in Costa Brava, you can’t beat it.
Good small group trip, a lot of driving, but a lot of very cool things to see. Manu was a great guide and made the trip fun and easy
Excellent tour with beautiful sites and the perfect mix of medieval villages, beach time, and fun! Highlights for me were seeing where Game of Thrones was filmed, watersports at the beach, eating delicious paella at the restaurant, and strolling through historic towns. Our tour guide, Miguel, was the absolute best! He was very knowledgeable and accommodating to my husband who struggled with the heat and has back pain. Miguel parked close, directed him to comfortable seating so he could still enjoy the sights, walked slower, and took pictures of us to share. The day was fun and felt less like a tour and more like a group of friends roaming the coast for the day. Shout out to Miguel!
Miguel was an incredible host and guide. So knowledgeable and friendly and entertaining! Through a long day it flew by so quickly.
Amazing tour! Loved the medieval village and the beach at costa bravo was divine! Our tour guide Miguel kept us very entertained! Best tour we went on in Barcelona.
