Overview

The ancient walled city of Girona stands on a fortress-like hill, high above the confluence of the Onyar and Ter rivers. As the provincial capital it has a long and distinguished history. Founded by Iberians, the Romans later named it Gerunda and established it as an important stopping point on the Via Augusta, linking Iberia with Rome. The huge 15th century cathedral, boasting the widest unsupported gothic arch in the world, dominates the skyline, yet much of the city's attraction lies in exploring the mediaeval streets, especially around the charming Jewish quarter. You will be able to cross the Onyar River through the bridge built by Gustave Eiffel " Pont de les Peixeteries Velles" one of the most populat monuments of the city. This extensive visit (about 3 hours) will show you the most important monuments of Girona, its history, its Jewish heritage and also its Legends. Our guides are local guides who know all the secrets of the city.

Jordi is a knowledgeable tour guide, he kept a good pace and paid attention to our small group. This was our first Viator experience and we hope that all tour guides are equally qualified and excited to engage with the tourists.

We truly enjoyed the tour of Girona with our guide. She lives there and was very familiar with many of the customs and history of what had taken place and what she had experienced. It was very lengthy and enjoyable, and we got to see the key points of the city. She also gave us tips on things to do and see in our own time. I would recommend it to most anyone.

Great Tour of Girona

Excellent tour by Anna. Gave us all the information we needed in an entertaining way. Also food tips which we followed. Her recommendations were great- especially the xiuxo!

We had a lot of fun and learned a lot.

It was a great tour. We had a lot of fun and we learned a lot of interesting things about Gerona. Our tour guide was Ona (not sure how to spell her name). She was great - very knowledgeable, easy to communicate. We definitely recommend this tour.
