Awesome!

A really lovely tour. Our guide was great. Sorry, I don't remember her name. On the bus to Girona she provided great history, but was a little boring to listen to. When we got to Girona, she was so passionate and really interesting. It was a very pleasant tour. Thank you.

Good but could have been better

An hour of free time was nice but the tour could have started later because the free time given for lunch or other things was before most shops were serving lunch. Also our guide was nice but it seemed as though he wasn’t very comfortable and had perhaps only done a couple of tours before. Girona was pretty, we got some history, and the bus ride was comfortable.

It was fun and interesting

WOW! It was just my husband and I so it became a private tour. Marc was so knowledgeable and amazing. We highly recommend this to anyone who would like to dig deeper into Girona's history.
