Start your day with a walking tour of the Old Town of Girona, one of the most emblematic city of Catalonia. Founded by Romans in 77 B.C., Girona will surprise you in its fusion between past and present times. Marvel at the colourful façades of the houses on the shores of the Onyar River, walk through the Old Town of Girona to visit the Call, one of the most well preserved Jewish neighbourhoods in Europe. Continue your walking tour of Girona into the Old City Walls, dating back to roman times. You can’t miss the chance to enjoy the great panoramic views of the city. Have a look to the largest Gothic Cathedral in the world, dating back to the XI century. Pass by the Museum of Archaeology and the Arab Baths, a Romanesque construction of the 12th century inspired by Roman baths.
The Onyar River is a river that passes by Girona and adds a layer of beauty to it. The colorful houses by the river gives off a beautiful reflection to the water, making it a sight to enjoy.
The Jewish neighbourhood of Girona, known as "El Call", is defined by its narrow, winding alleys and stone archways. You will be fascinated by the history of this place has to offer.
Explore the city walls of the historical city of Girona while your guide tells you about the story behind them.
Marvel at the symbol of the city, Cathedral of Girona or Saint Mary, which includes the widest Gothic nave in the world, with a width of 23 metres. It was famously known as "Great Sept of Baelor" in the TV show "Game of Thrones"
Here you will have a chance to discover the past and see the archeological discoveries of Girona and Catalonia. You will be amazed by how far the history goes back in this town.
The very-well conserved Arab Baths were built back in 12th century and still stands to this day.
Once you assured your visit back to Girona, we can now head to our next destination: the medieval village of Pals, a magical place, a home to experiences and traditional legends that will surprise you. A walk along these cobbled streets and alleys takes you straight back to the middle ages: there are stone arches, Moorish arches, Romanesque and Gothic doorways and windows ...
Enjoy a walking tour of this ancient fishing village formed by several coves. Calella de Palafrugell is one of the few places on the Costa Brava which still preserves the charm of the villages of the area before the arrival of mass tourism, with narrow streets, steep tiled roofs and some traditional two-floor fishermen’s dwellings. Choose among the several restaurants of the village, take the chance to eat typical and traditional Catalan food (lunch not included in the price).

It was very good experience ,acceptable fees and very good explanation and the guide very kind and helpfull
our tour guide was Manu who was absolutely amazing!! We had such a fun day thanks to him! I definitely would recommend him!!
Taking this tour with Inout Barcelona Tours was easily one of the highlights of our trip. Chema was an exceptional guide—super approachable, engaging, and clearly an expert on the local history and sights. He kept everything moving at a great pace and answered all our questions along the way. We had a great time from start to finish. Highly recommend asking for Chema if you book with them!
Great day, saw alot of historic sites and towns. Lunch reservation was amazing, and then ending with the beach was beautiful!
Such a great tour. The old cities were beautiful. The beach town was so relaxing to end the tour with. It was great to see something outside of Barcelona. Our guide, Cheema, was funny and knowledgeable. He made the trip unique and a fun experience.
Our family had so much fun on this tour. Marcel was an absolute angel and entertained all our questions. He also had so many facts and details to share about the geography of Catalunya and Costa Brava. We were joined by a wonderful couple and got the chance to take in the sights at a great pace as well. We did do the tour during a high season so it was busy, but nothing that we couldn’t handle! The tour went from about 8:30 in the morning until late afternoon which was perfect. He allowed us to get dropped off right at Plaza Catalunya to continue sightseeing as well, but we could also go back to the hotel if we wanted. I couldn’t have enjoyed it more! Thank you so much for everything Marcel!
The trip there was smooth! The length wasn’t far it was decent! The guide was so informative! The car had great air conditioning! The views at the stops were eye opening!!
It was a great pleasure to travel with Toni. So many beautiful places, a lot of interesting facts, useful conversations in Spanish. Everything was on time, so i’d like this trip so much! Mil gracias a Toni!
We overall really enjoyed our day trip to Girona and the Costa Brava! A huge shoutout to our tour guide, Gaspar, who was amazing—incredibly knowledgeable, kind, welcoming, and kept us entertained throughout the entire journey. We also had a great group of people traveling with us, which made the experience even better. Girona: Fantastic experience. The history is rich, and the streets are filled with charm and great shops. My only feedback here is that I wish we had a bit more time and more frequent breaks to explore Girona at a more relaxed pace, as it felt a little rushed. Costa Brava: Visually, the coastline and beaches are stunning. However, this part of the trip was a bit disappointing due to lunch logistics. We had a 2-hour break here, but none of the beachside restaurants were tourist-friendly or could accommodate our party of 4 without prior reservations. As a result, we missed out on enjoying the beach views and ended up eating at a random spot further back just to get a table. Tip for future travelers: If you want to enjoy a nice lunch with a view during the Costa Brava stop, make sure to book a restaurant reservation in advance! Despite the lunch hiccup, it was a memorable trip. Thanks again to Gaspar for being such a wonderful guide!
We went as a family. Overall great experience.
