Meeting place was easy to find. Tour guide Jean Mark was great. Knowledge, funny and brought history to life. As an avid walker there is not actually much walking to this tour as everything is pretty close together however there are steps and small hills that some with mobility issues might find challenging. My friends and I thoroughly enjoyed this tour though and worth the money.
Very informative and Friendly guide. Happy to structure tour around our i teresrs. Nice small group. Would recommend.
Juan our guide was great, my wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the tour.
Jordi was truly best your guide I’ve had. He’s a Girona local and extremely knowledgeable about everything we wanted to know. The tour was perfectly balanced between explaining local legends in the larger (true) historical context, larger relationships and history of Spain and Catalonia. He was happy to tangent off into topics our small group found interesting and the tour ended with a perfect sampling of local ratafia & pastry. Absolutely made our 1 day trip to Girona fabulous!
This is a great trip to see the sites and the beautiful coast of Brava. Our guide Steven did a great job with history showing us the area
Joan Marc was a fantastic guide. So full of passion, energy and knowledge. The traditional pastry and liquor were fab. Got lots of information about the city and very helpful tips for the rest of my trip. A MUST if you visit Girona!
Our tour guide was John Mark. The tour was in English. John Mark is a personable, knowledgeable guide. He explained every stop in detail, but not too much. It was a good tour of Girona - saw all the sights listed. Also had a bakery snack. I would recommend this tour and John Mark. Well done.
Jean Marc, our guide, had a very friendly manner, and delivered lots of history and information about this beautiful city. The 2 hour tour was ideal in length. We really enjoyed our tour, and would definitely recommend it.
This was an excellent tour. Fun, informational, humorous, and welcoming. Wear decent walking shoes. The walk is not hard. Guide was exceptional and very informative.
Great tour - great town - the tour guide was very knowledgeable. It was a great contrast to Barcelona, including being not as busy
