Great Girona tour

This was a great overview of the history of Girona capped off by a delicious dinner of local tapas specialties. Miguel is passionate about the history of his hometown and he is also so knowledgeable. Would definitely recommend this tour!
The best guide to Girona
amilia62, May 2024
This was a great tour that gave an insight into the history of Girona. Our guide Júlia was an excellent guide who could answer all our questions of history and life today. We had a fantastic evening and chatted away over the great food that kept coming in. Júlia also explained the traditions and how the foods are made. We were very happy when Júlia showed us to a special restaurant for a nightcap, long after her workingday was over.
A great walking tour
Lilygontard, Oct 2022
We had a wonderful walking tour. Our guide Monica Berta was friendly and knowledgeable. The walk was easy and rounded out with a tapas tasting and wine or beer at the end in a restaurant in the old city. We were a small group of six which I think gave us a really good experience, too. Great way to see Girona and get an understanding of the history.
Itinerary

The Museum of Jewish History
