Description

Start this private tour from Barcelona, where your guide will pick you up from your accommodation for this exciting half-day excursion. From there, head to the historic town of Girona, where the remains of a Roman and medieval past coexist with the present, offering an image full of contrasts. Busses are forbidden to enter the city walls but as you'll be traveling in a private minivan or executive car, you'll be able to enter the heart of the Old Town.

Once there, get lost in the maze of narrow streets of the city center and travel back in time to the best-preserved Jewish quarter in Europe. Admire the cathedral, boasting the widest Gothic nave in the world, and marvel at the colorful spectacle of houses along the Onyar River, which splits the city in two. 

During your tour of Girona, you will cross several bridges. One of them was designed by the famous Gustave Eiffel in 1877. The modern feel of the iron-clad Eiffel Bridge contrasts sharply with the old buildings of the city. Whether with its many bridges crisscrossing the river or with its strong medieval walls, Girona charms its visitors with an exciting panorama. After the tour, your guide will take you back to your accommodation in Barcelona.
