After a scenic one-hour drive from Barcelona, our first stop is the enchanting city of Girona. Immerse yourself in its rich history with a guided walking tour through the historic center, which dates back to the first century. Discover ancient architecture, charming alleyways, and the iconic landmarks that make Girona a timeless gem.

As we head to Girona's historic center, we'll stroll across the picturesque bridges spanning the Onyar River. Marvel at the vibrant, colorful buildings lining the riverbanks, which beautifully delineate the city's old and new sections. This scenic walk offers a perfect blend of Girona's past and present.

At this stop, you'll admire the exterior of Girona's oldest church, the Eglesia de Sant Feliu. Construction began in the 4th century and continued over 1300 years, resulting in a magnificent blend of architectural styles. This historic landmark stands as a testament to Girona's rich heritage and enduring faith.

Admission not included15 min

Continue your walking tour through the narrow streets of the old town and along the ancient Roman walls, immersing yourself in Girona's historical ambiance. Marvel at the exterior of the stunning 11th-century Girona Cathedral before heading to the Jewish Quarter to explore the vibrant history and culture of its past residents. No visit to Girona would be complete without passing the iconic filming locations from the famous "Game of Thrones" series, adding a touch of cinematic magic to your journey.

Explore the captivating Jewish Quarter of Girona, known as "El Call." On this walking tour, delve into the rich history of this ancient neighborhood and uncover the stories of the Jewish community that once thrived here. Wander along the narrow, cobblestone streets and learn about the significant contributions and challenges faced by the Jewish residents as we visit notable landmarks and hidden corners of El Call.

As our journey transitions from Girona to the stunning Costa Brava coastline, we head to Calella de Palafrugell, one of the must-visit destinations in Costa Brava. This charming town is known for its breathtaking viewpoints overlooking the area's famous coves and rugged coastline. Our stops in Costa Brava are focused on sightseeing and soaking in the spectacular coastal scenery, rather than beach activities. Enjoy the panoramic views of the picturesque coves that make this part of Costa Brava truly unforgettable.

As we continue our Girona and Costa Brava Tour, we’ll journey through the rugged cliffs near Palafrugell, ascending to a breathtaking panoramic viewpoint in the Begur area. From here, you'll be mesmerized by the dramatic coastal landscapes and the crystal-clear waters of Costa Brava’s hidden coves.

60 min

Enjoy some free time for lunch (at your own expense) in the picturesque beach town of Tamariu and please note that this tour is designed for sightseeing and appreciating the serene coastal landscapes, rather than beach activities.

AMAZING PRIVATE FAMILY DAY Trip from Barcelona

Just returned home to Detroit, MI USA after 11 Days in Barcelona. Family of 6 (3 children 15,13,10) spent one day (about 9 am to 6 pm) with our Private Driver and Guide, Adrian, who was extremely knowledgeable and a true Professional. Adrian took us on a walking Tour and provided a ton of historical and interesting information in the town of Girona. I hadn’t realized that several scenes of Game of Thrones were filmed in this small super unique town. We then saw several breathtaking beautiful overlooks (pictures do NOT do it justice) along Costa Brava. Finished with an AMAZING Lunch at a non-Touristy spot right on the water in a secluded Cove right on the beach! Adrian arranged our Reservation for us and he really makes your group feel like VIPS. Lunch and views made for one of my top meals over the entire 11 days in Barcelona. (Get the “House” recipe Paella and Calamari) and of course, Sangria. Adrian was very open to this being a family day for us and encouraged us to not worry about time. After our Lunch we managed to find a Football (American lol) and had time to play on the Beach with the kids!! Totally different vibe by the way at this secluded Beach vs all the vendors hassling you on the beaches in Barcelona (nor the crowds) This is the first TripAdvisor review I’ve ever written. I did so as Adrian is amazing and made for one of the best days of our family vacation to Barcelona. Dad’s out there, trust me and click for this day trip I guarantee a day of family memories you will never forget.

Great experience!

Mario was a great guide and we got such a fantastic tour of the area. He is very knowledgeable and had such interesting facts to share with us at each attraction/ place. Do this if you are going as a family and want to things at your own pace without the hassle of doing this as a group tour. Ask for Mario if you end up doing this.
