The building is captivating for the simplicity of its forms and, once inside, to the beauty of the play between light and darkness. The building is in the Romanesque style but follows the model of Roman baths, the Arab baths and the Jewish mikvahs from a tradition that was restored during the 11th century, with the development of the urban areas and the need to improve hygiene.

Amazing experience with Carlos Vivaldevi he was fantastic and had great knowledge
Great tour, very knowledgeable guide, Mateo. Definitely recommend Taking the train was super efficient.
Our guide Katja was informative, had good energy, and was very helpful. My an already good experience great.
Definitely a highlight on our Barcelona trip! We didn't realize that it would be completely private! ( Just my husband, myself, and our tour guide, Mateo.) He was our favorite guide of all the various activities we did on our Spain trip! He was extremely knowledgeable which we very much appreciate, and his passion for history was very apparent. The bullet train to Girona was as easy as a train ride could be, we arrived in about 35 minutes! Everything we saw was so beautiful and full of history. If you're a Game of Thrones fan, it's definitely a plus as we were about to see multiple filming locations! We plan on going back to Spain in the near future and would definitely love Mateo to be our guide on future tours!
Educational! Tour guide Mateo was very professional as well as entertaining, His knowledge of Girona was factual and interesting.
Fabulous day. Great experience. Guide (Mateo) was fabulous. Would definitely go back to Girona. Great historical town.
We had a fantastic day in Girona. Our guide, Lucas was wonderful, knowledgeable and very accommodating. He took us to all the locations where Game of Thrones was filmed. Highly recommend. My only issue was that the tour operator gave us the wrong time and address to meet him. But once he found us it was wonderful.
Matteo was very educated about the city of Girona and he was so friendly. He answered all our questions and he was a fun tour guide. It made the trip more fun.
The train was late otherwise it would be a 5 star. We were a bit rushed. But our guide was unflappable and knowledgeable and very pleasant and professional
It's a lonely and amazing city, plus a friendly guide named jose, an unforgettable experience.
