Description
The Jewish neighbourhood of Girona is one of the best preserved in Europe. This district located in the heart of the city is full of ancient remains from its Roman and Medieval past. Known popularly as the "Call", this area was home to 1000 inhabitants during the Middle Ages, making it one of the most important Jewish communities in Spain's history. As you explore the pretty narrow streets of the Jewish Quarter, the hometown of Nahmanides, the Medieval Kabbalistic philosopher, you'll visit the spots where the city's 3 synagogues were located, you will find out all about the customs and traditions of the Jewish people. You'll also visit the Museum of Jewish History to learn about their way of life. Your guide will then lead you around the labyrinthine streets while explaining the history of the Expulsion of the Jews in 1492, an act that ended 600 years of coexistence. After this visit you'll have newfound knowledge of about the influence that the Jewish community left in Girona.

Knowledgeable Guide, but Lacking Warmth
Our group of six took the tour with Una, whom we specifically requested based on previous reviews. She was extremely knowledgeable and able to answer all of our questions. We enjoyed the tour, but found Una to be a bit edgy, with a somewhat aloof air. While we appreciated her knowledge, a little more warmth and enthusiasm would have made the experience even better.

Jewish history of Girona is long and interesting.
This is the 2nd Jewish tour I have done with Carolina. On my recent visit to Girona I booked with her again because I enjoyed her first one so much. Besides being very knowledgeable, she is warm and friendly. Her answers to our questions are complete and well thought out. My husband joined us, and he is a history buff, so listening to their conversations I learned a lot! We are looking forward to engaging in a Game of Thrones tour for my daughter and her husband during their December visit.

A top guide who delivered excellence in her tour!
Ona was our guide for the Jewish Heritage tour in Girona. Ona falls into the category of top guides. My wife described her as a wonderful guide. She was very knowledgeable, engaged with the group extremely well, responded to all questions, provided detailed answers to the questions, and continued to check if the information she shared was understood and if the person had further questions.
