Marc was very friendly and engaging. He stayed in touch with me leading up to the tour. He provided clear directions about where to park. We enjoyed a blend of local history and amazing local food experiences. Not only did Marc provide the local flavors but also the stories behind them. We left full ans happy!! Great introduction to beautiful Girona!! He loves his city and family and is proud to share them.
It was really nice meeting you and showing you a bit of local life and food (and wine). I´m very happy you took back a nice memory from the experience. Many thanks as well for taking the time to write this review... I truly appreciate it. All the best, and I hope to welcome you back one day!
10/10. This is a must do experience when you are in Girona. We booked directly with Girona Food Tours when I didn't see the date we were hoping for here. They were happy to accommodate us and since no one else booked that day, we ended up on a private tour with Marco for a small fee and it was worth every penny. Our family learned so much about Girona, its history and culture, Spain, and of course the food. So much great food. Marco was a fabulous guide who clearly loves what he does. The tour was fun and super educational, we ate great foods of all kinds, got to meet local shop owners and learn about their products and history, and of course experienced the beauty of Girona. We love taking a food tour when arriving in a new city and I cannot recommend this tour highly enough. Learning from a local adds a whole other level of experiences to travel. When learning about our plans for our 5 night stay (stay several days in Girona!) Marco let us know our plans would not likely accomplish our goals as we just didn't know the ins and outs like a local does, and he offered to take us on a tour to the areas we wanted to see. Again, 10/10!! If you also want to see Medieval villages, a winery, ancient ruins, breath-taking views of the Costa Brava areas and spend time on the smaller coastal beaches, ask Marco about other private tour options. You will have an amazing time!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review. Spending two days together exploring both Girona and the Costa Brava was an absolute pleasure. By the end, it felt less like guiding and more like showing friends around some of my favourite places. I loved sharing Girona's food, history, culture, and local traditions with your family, and I'm delighted to hear you enjoyed the experience as much as I did. What I remember most is how curious, engaged, and enthusiastic you all were throughout the tours. That kind of energy makes every experience even more enjoyable and memorable. Thank you as well for trusting me with your Costa Brava day. It was great being able to help you discover some places that many visitors never get to see and to tailor the experience to what you were hoping to get out of your time here. It was truly a pleasure getting to know your family, and I hope the memories of Girona, the Costa Brava, the food, the wine, and all the special moments along the way stay with you for many years to come. Wishing you all the very best, and if your travels ever bring you back to Catalonia, I'd be delighted to see you again. Warm regards, Marc
We had such an incredible tour! Coming into the region without knowing much about its history nor its cuisine did not matter. Marc, our tour guide blew us away with both! We learned so much about the region and the town. We had incredible food and Marc took it a step further with us and helped recommend other food in other nearby towns that we'd be going to later in the trip. Overall, a 10/10 experience!
Thank you so much for your nice review! It was truly a pleasure sharing our region, local life, its history, and its gastronomy with you. I'm happy to hear that you enjoyed both the food and the stories behind it. Gracias for your trust in Girona Food Tours and for taking the time to share your experience. Your kind words mean a lot to me. I hope to welcome you back to Girona and Catalonia again someday!
What a nice experience we had on this tour. Our guide Marc told full of passion and in a very pleasant way. He really knew a lot about the city, an advantage is that he also spoke Dutch and English outside his own language. Thank you to Marc and the organization
Heel hartelijk dank voor de review and super fijn dat jullie het naar de zin hebben gehad! Het genoegen was geheel aan mij! Het is elke keer voor ons ook een feestje om onze prachtige stad en heerlijke producten te laten proeven aan onze gasten. We hopen jullie nog eens terug te mogen verwelkomen!
We had a great morning tour with Marc. He talked with great enthusiasm and passion about Girona and the food the city has to offer. Definitely recommended if you are in Girona.
Dankjewel voor de review en de mooie woorden! Ben blij dat jullie van de tour genoten hebben. Groeten uit een zonnig Girona. Marc
Wonderful tour, great cuisine, beautiful experience. Our guide Mark was incredible!!! Thank you for the wonderful day in Girona
Hola! Vielen Dank für deine wunderbaren Worte! Es freut mich sehr, dass Sie die Tour auf Deursch :-), die Kulinarik und der Tag in Girona so gut gefallen haben. Es war mir eine große Freude, euch begleiten zu dürfen. Ich hoffe, wir sehen uns bald wieder... ihr seid jederzeit herzlich willkommen. Saludos aus Girona und muchas gracias!
Marc was a knowledgeable guide who led us through the city, providing historic and contemporary insights. We only had 24 hours in Girona and it was a great way to see the city, eat local food, and learn. Marc was flexible and super helpful when our travel plans changed. Would definitely do it again!
Thank you so much for your kind words! It was a real pleasure guiding you through Girona and sharing both its history and modern-day charm. I’m glad we could make the most of your 24 hours and that you will take a nice new memory back home! :-) Moltes gracies! Regards from Girona
Super fun and enthusiastic guide who gives a fun tour passionately and in a smooth way! Highly recommended!
Bedankt voor je enthousiaste woorden en het mooie compliment! Het was een plezier om jullie rond te leiden hier in Girona. Wens jullie een goede reis terug naar Nederland vanavond! Moltes gracies i bon viatge!
With 22 participants, a family, 3 generations, between 71 years and 3 months... You can stand on it. Marc offered a program full of stories and experiences for the youngest and at the same time informatively relaxed and delicious (!) for the adults. Top day!
Wat een geweldige review, bedankt! Ik heb zelf ook enorm genoten van deze dag met jullie familie. Het was superleuk om met drie generaties samen op pad te zijn en jullie enthousiamse maakte het extra bijzonder! - Marc
What a wonderful experience. We were 12 golfers from Ireland. Gina was the perfect host, good fun, friendly and knowledgeable. We ate the most amazing food and drink very good wine. Everyone had a fabulous evening. We would highly recommend this for anyone who likes good company, great food and wine
Thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re so happy to hear you all had such a great evening enjoying Girona’s food, wine, and atmosphere together. Warm greetings from Girona! - Girona Food Tours team
