Great tour - Very informative. Our guide was an energetic presenter who made it interesting. We took up his advice and found the Roman walls And walked on them after the tour. A lot packed into two hours and this was perfect.

It was a great experience the girl who made us a guide. - The time was bad, 17h, and the girl knew how to wake up, and generate deserved interest to everything she had to tell us about Girona. I already knew Girona as a visitor, but now I have another vision of the city, already aware of its history and the origin of its remains and streets, spectacular.

We learned about part of the history of Girona in an entertaining and very pleasant way. - Joan Marc was our guide and despite the rain he was great. The tour allowed us to have an idea of what Girona represents in the history of Catalonia.

A nice walk around Girona - Good to see Girona and taste some good patisseries from Girona. Jean Martin knew very well the history of his city and was really passionate when he was speaking about the legends of Girona!

Stolen streets - John was very good and shared some local knowledge which great. He had a good pace and clearly loves his home town. Don’t steal any streets with John around. What to know what that means take the tour.

Very informative and engaging - Excellent guide, highly recommend Jon Mark. Very informative, and passionate about his home town. The small stop at the halfway mark to eat a local pastry and taste a local drink was also excellent.

Worth a trip! - Girona is a fabulous 1/2 day trip from Barcelona or Costa Brava. Just a really special small city with so much medieval charm. If you are a GOT fan, this is the place, friends.
