Additional Information

The city of Girona remains largely unexplored by the majority of tourists who visit Catalonia. Girona, a mere 35-minute high-speed train ride (AVANT) away from Barcelona and 45 minutes from France, has been the stage for monumental conquests, battles, and historical conflicts. This is reflected in the city’s rich and diverse cultural heritage. The Romans established Girona more than 2000 years ago, its ancient Roman and medieval walls offer visitors stunning vistas of the city. Girona’s Jewish and medieval district is among the most well-preserved in Europe, genuinely a hidden gem waiting to be discovered. History echoes down its narrow, cobblestone lanes. The city was the birthplace of Nahmanides, a celebrated Rabbi and Jewish Kabbalist philosopher from the 13th century. One can also explore the bridges spanning the Onyar River, including the most famous one constructed by Gustave Eiffel, and savour the peaceful atmosphere of this charming city.

Girona private tour - The private tour with Ona was informative and fun. If it had not been for our guide, we would not have seen the most beautiful things about Girona. She shared tips about restaurants and things to do. Highly recommended. Thanks Ona!

Charming! - Fantastic tour with Ona! As a Girona-native, Ona knew it all, spoke excellent English, and was very communicative ahead of the tour. We came in knowing very little about Girona, and walked away charmed by this town. She even provided a great dinner recommendation! Thanks Ona!

Great Private Walking Tour with Ona! - We had an English private walking tour with Ona, who was a great guide! She was knowledgeable, funny and helpful at the end of the tour with a lunch recommendation. Ona is fluent in English, Spanish and Catalan, so she spoke to my in-laws in Spanish and to us and our kids in English, which was so helpful. She also pointed out the linguistic differences between Spanish and Catalan at points around the city, which we would not have learned without her! Ona explained the history of the city, the architectural features of the major buildings and pointed out so many interesting things that we would have never seen or learned on our own. Girona is a city of MANY stairs and it was very hot the day we were touring (heat wave in August!). Ona helped us to stay in the shade, went at our pace (2 people in their 80s and 2 kids) and showed us several public water fountains in parks where we could refill our water bottles. The private walking tour with Girona Experience is a perfect option if you are touring with a small group or your family and need to be able to take a few breaks or want to ask a lot of questions!

Highly enjoyable tour - If booking a guided tour in Girona would highly recommend the Girona history and legends tour. Our guide Ona was superb. Highly knowledgeable and informative she provided us with a great insight into this beautiful and historic city. Also for Game of Throne fans Ona was able to remind us of where a number of the very well known scenes were filmed. After the tour we had lunch at Casa Marieta which was very enjoyable and can highly recommend when visiting Girona.

Disappointed/poor English - The level of English of our guide was below expectations. We speak multiple languages and are used to decoding but it was simply too much work to understand aspects of what the guide was getting at. She also lacked enthusiasm and animation.
