Girona with a native expert

THOMAS_M, Apr 2024

Ona was an outstanding guide. Native of the city, self educated, intelligent, personable and considerate. Highly engaged

We love the trip!

Tina_Z, Apr 2024

The trip is perfect for first-time visitors with limited time. The guide led us through the oldest part of the city with stories and historical background about each scene. This helped us to appreciate the beauty of the city more easily and efficiently.

Gerald made our trip

Jennifer_H, Apr 2024

Gerald was easily the best tour guide we ever had. He knew everything, I mean everything. He was so helpful with us and our stroller finding the best ways for our family to go in a city of stairs. We loved every minute with him in February. I can't believe it's taken this long to write it. I've been recommending this tour to everyone we know planning on going to Spain. Gerald made girona for us. Great recommendations for food and drink as well.

Girona Family Tour

Viraj_S, Apr 2024

My family of 7 ended up with a private tour of Girona. It is a beautiful well preserved city with a lot of rich history and Ona filled us in on a lot of pop culture references from filming as well. Perfect way to spend 1/2 day with the remainder of a day to explore on our own.

Ona was a great guide who...

Karen_G, Apr 2024

Ona was a great guide who led our group with grace and humor! She provided excellent background and answered questions thoughtfully.

Worthy stopover

Paul_H, Apr 2024

Monica, our guide, our historian and regional booster, was terrific. So much so that we will recommend Giriona as a destination for our globe trotting son.

Great tour!

Sandra_G, Apr 2024

Our guide Monica was born and bred in Girona and has an impressive amount of personal and professional knowledge of its history and legends. We learned a lot and really spent time seeing the highlights of Gerona from all angles (literally and figuratively). I would not recommend this for younger children as it’s three hours long without a break, but if you want to get an insider’s perspective of the fascinating history of Gerona, I would highly recommend this tour. You must be able to walk up hills and the many stairs around the city (99 at the cathedral alone!). Make sure to bring a bottle of water, as there is none available during the tour.

Beautiful day in Girona

KarinStadler, Mar 2024

Julia was a great tour guide. She really knew the history and legends that surround Girona. She was happy to take pictures of the people on the tour and she even helped up with restaurant recommendations. We would absolutely take her tour again!

Excellent

Haresh_P, Mar 2024

We took afternoon walking tour and Eduardo, our guide was excellent, very informative and did not rush

Great tour with Eduardo!

Shelley_M, Mar 2024

Eduardo did a fantastic job as our tour guide in Girona. He explained the history, important dates while putting it the context of modern day Spain. Eduardo is interested and interesting. Just wish we could of scheduled a glass of wine together for another time!

Eduardo was a great tour...

ALONA_U, Feb 2024

Eduardo was a great tour guide, we enjoyed discovering Girona with him. The tour was conducted in 2 languages, English and Spanish.

Excellent tour of Girona led by Julia

Pamela_B, Feb 2024

Julia was an extraordinary guide! She was incredibly knowledgeable -- she was able to answer all of the questions we asked. It was clear that she has done a large amount of research on many facets of the history of Girona. And she was delightful! We highly recommend her.

Awesome Tour with Great History

Abbey_S, Jan 2024

Julia was fantastic! She knew SO much about the city and provided a ton of history. Her English was spot on, so easy to understand. She took us to all the great spots for history and photo opportunities. Hands down would book her and the tour again!

Response from Host, Jan 2024

Hi Abbey, Thanks for your nice words! We are so happy you enjoyed the tour with Julia! I hope see you again soon!

Highly recommend

Heather_L, Dec 2023

Edward was a pleasure to spend half the day with. He was knowledgeable and shared so many great stories about the history of Girona. He was also very generous in sharing other information and resources we asked about such as favorite restaurants, where to hear live music, etc.

Walk-in tour if Girona

magsml, Nov 2023

Monica is very knowledgeable about the history of Girona. We lenjoyed this walking tour and learning about how Girona developed..

Disappointing and too long.

Aimee_D, Nov 2023

Tour guide was nice enough, but seemed new at the job (talked about asking other tour guide friends the relevance of certain sites) and definitely made some stuff up along the way (based upon a quick google search). The amount of facts we received in 3 hours could have been completed in about 1/3-1/2 the time. If this was a free tour I wouldn't bother writing a review, but since it wasn't I feel I need to share.

Response from Host, Nov 2023

Hi Aimee! Thanks to let us know your Experience with this guide. The tour lasts about 3 hours and is what the tour guide did. About the knowledge of the guide, we don't know what was the problem. He has very nice reviews in TripAdvisor. Anyway we will talk with him to find out what happened that day.

Great historical tour of Girona

Laura_B, Oct 2023

Great experience in Girona! Didn’t know what to expect visiting Girona, but it far exceeded our expectations. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and detailed; learned a lot about the history of Girona and included details of the filming of Game of Thrones when she realized we were fans. Highly recommend!

A+ Don't miss this tour! Girona is great and this tour company has a great team.

Valerie_C, Sep 2023

This was one of my very favorite tours in Spain. Our guide, a young man named Dillon, was EXCELLENT. Not only was his English easy to understand, but he had a wealth of knowledge and was friendly and passionate about his city's history. I am hearing impaired so having a guide with good English is critical to my enjoyment.

Guide Makes all the Difference

donald_h, Sep 2023

Girona’s history was a surprise. Guide brought it alive. Enjoyed our time after too based on guide’s recommendations.

Great historical tour

Douglas_B, Aug 2023

The cathedrals and history was wonderful. Anna was a great guide and very informative. She took great care of us as the steps were a bit challenging for a couple of the people in our group.
