Memorable tour!! Highly recommended

Published on Jul, 2024

We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Miguel. He was very knowledgeable and made the trip interesting and fun for both teens and adults. I would highly recommend this tour! It is impossible to get a sense of the robust Jewish history of Spain without a guide.

Fantastic, superb!!!

Published on Mar, 2024

An amazing tour! Our guide Miguel was fantastic! He had so much interesting information and really brought the area and the history alive. His knowledge of the history and philosophy made this tour very special! Thank you for a really wonderful day!

Fantastic tour, fantastic guide!

Published on Mar, 2024

The tour was fascinating! Well worth it for sure. Our guide Miguel was amazing. He is very knowledgeable, he had a very deep, extensive knowledge of every aspect of the region. He grew up in Girona so it was a very personal tour. His knowledge of the Jewish history and philosophy was outstanding, he really put everything in perspective, and his particular interest in philosophy elevated the tour significantly, this was an amazing tour, and Miguel is an amazing guide!!!!!

You should really do this day... It was AMAZING!

Published on Jan, 2024

This was an amazing tour for our two families who were traveling togther and truly a hightlight for everyone of our week in Spain. We were three adults, four teens and everyone was incredibly happy with this day. Girard was our tourguide and we couldn't have asked for anyone better. He related to every person in our group with ease and interest... and was so informative and knowledgable. It was a pure pleasure to spend the day with him! He truly seems to love his job and the information he has to share - and that is infectious in the best of ways! And the history itself is fascinating. I have spent much more time thinking about what I learned and the history I experienced on our one day in Girona and Besalu then I have from our five days in Barcelona. I can't recommend this tour enough. Truly worth the effort to get to Girona if you are staying in Barcelona.

Ramon was wonderful, fascinating tour

Published on Feb, 2023
