Highlights
  • Girona Cathedral - You will see the building from the outside, we do not go inside and your guide will explain its architecture, its history and what is inside. This way they will have all the information and they will be able to decide if they want to visit it at another time on their own.

  • El Cul de la lleona - The guide will explain what they have to do if they want to return to Girona! This statue represents one of our most popular legends!

  • Arab Baths - The guide will explain the history, its architecture and its curiosities. Why are they called Arab Baths if they are not Arab? Discover this mystery…

  • The Museum of Jewish History - They will visit the Jewish Quarter of Girona, one of the best preserved from the Middle Ages in Europe. Discover its beautiful corners and alleys. We did not enter the Jewish Museum, but this place deserves a deep explanation since it was one of the 3 Synagogues that Girona had in the Middle Ages.

  • Eiffel Bridge (Pont de les Peixateries Velles) - Designed by Gustave Eiffel, it is one of the treasures that will surprise you in Girona city.

A great walking tour - 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.
