Great visit to Girona - Jewish history + GOT - Our young tour guide Gerard was very informative and personable. Gerard was also happy to incorporate Game of Thrones trivia with the Jewish tour. Girona has a great old town, but is also a vibrant city. Nice to choose a restaurant for lunch in advance. Besalu has one interesting Jewish sight (a mikvah), but I would have been fine skipping Besalu. The agency was willing to provide transport from BCN for a fee, but our family opted to take the fast train on our own from BCN (roughly 40 minutes). Either works. Would definitely recommend a visit to Girona if one still has time to see the key sights of BCN.

Gerard was an excellent... - Gerard was an excellent guide. Very knowledgeable and personable. Highly recommended! Thank you. . .

Seeing Girona - We had a wonderful tour of Girona with an emphasis on its Jewish history. Our tour guide Julia was well informed, spoke clearly and gave us such a great tour.

Excellent tour with an outstanding guide - Monica was an outstanding guide. Thish tour covered the high points of Jewish history in Girona, which effectively ended in 1492. She tailored the content to the knowledge and interests of the six of us in the group. Her English is excellent and nuanced. She has deep knowledge of the history and cultural traditions of the Jewish people and she treated the difficult topics with sensitivity. Although she was only allowed to accompany us, not guide us, through the Jewish museum, she managed to augment the explanations of the objects and put things into context. She also made sure to take us to the mikveh (ritual bath) next door, one of the more striking sights in this excellent tour. This tour offered very good value for the money. We recommend it highly.

Girona and Besalu, Jewish History tour Small Group from Girona - Spectacular tour of Jewish history in Girona and Besalu. We ended up being the only ones on the tour, but Marc and Carmen did not disappoint. Marc was amazing with his knowledge of Jewish history and culture, pointing out not just the obvious things but also small facts and things that are personal to someone with Jewish heritage. We went to Besalu first, which was crucial to beating tour bus crowds. We had the city to ourselves. Carmen obtained the mikveh key and we were the only ones in there. In Girona,thew Jewish museum was great, and our tour of the town featured interesting stories of other religions and Spanish history. Can't say enough about Marc - he answered every question from historical and current points of view, and he really cared that we understood what he was saying. This tour was a highlight of our time in Spain. We caught an early train from Barcelona just for the day, and it was totally worth it.

Highlight of Spain! - Marc Sanchez was the perfect guide. He knows everything that there is to know about Jewish history in Girona and Besalu. He also pointed out where "Game of Thrones" was filmed in Girona -- that was fun! We learned so much from him. This tour was the highlight of our stay in Spain. Both towns are amazing. Besalu looks like it is still in the middle ages (but sparkling clean!) Take this tour - it is amazing!
