Discover ancient architecture, charming alleyways, and the iconic landmarks that make Girona a timeless gem.

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.

This historic landmark stands as a testament to Girona's rich heritage and enduring faith.
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.

Great day to see the countryside outside of Barcelona. We saw Medieval cities, learned history and ate great seafood. Adrien was a great guide with a lot of knowledge making it an awesome experience.
One of my favourite tours of our 6 week holiday! Adrian was a fabulous guide with lots of knowledge to share. He was kind and thoughtful throughout the day, customising the itinerary a little to suit us. Girona is an amazing city! Beautiful! Highly recommend a tour with Adrian! He's absolutely one of the best!
Our private tour guide and driver, Adrian, was punctual, pleasant and so knowledgeable about the area. We had a great time being shown around the old town of Girona and many view point stops along the C osta Brava as well as a fantastic lunch by recommendation and reser vation in the beautiful seaside town of Tamariu. Thanks so much Adri an for a wonderful day!

Great... that's all there is to say. Customized with great food great goals nice anecdotes and lots of humor.
Unique. Just great organized. Fantastic food. Great tour. Definitely worth the expensive price.
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.
Wonderful trip with an outstanding guide. Adrian was very informative and covered the Girona walking tour with facts & stories that gave insight into the life there. Costa brava was beautiful. Would recommend this trip. Would love to have Adrian as a guide again
Great trip. Adrian was a wonderful guide. Girona walking tour was informative & coastline was beautiful. Very safe driver. English was spot on. Would recommend this trip
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.
