What makes this tour a must-do?
The tour offers more than standard sightseeing. Tucked away corners and authentic eateries all feature along the route, giving a sense of Girona’s character beyond the main squares and well-visited tourist spots. Tastings include local cheeses, cold meats, sweet treats and wines, allowing you to experience the city through its depth and variety of flavours while learning about its culinary traditions courtesy of your expert guide.
What can we expect from our guide?
Guides are knowledgeable, sharing historical context, anecdotes about the city’s cuisine and practical tips for exploring Girona later on in your trip. They point out local favourites, explain ingredients and suggest the best spots to return to, giving insight that would be hard to come by if you were exploring alone. The pace is relaxed and allows time to linger at each stop.
Which moments are sure to leave a lasting impression?
Highlights include sampling the classic xuixo pastry, wandering across the Pont de les Peixateries Velles and exploring tapas bars tucked down narrow streets where locals gather. Panoramic views over the city and rivers, paired with regional wine and small plates, also create moments that will stay with you long after the tour ends.
So who do you think this tour is best for?
This tour suits travellers interested in food and culture. Couples, solo visitors and small groups will certainly appreciate the small size and personal attention. Families can enjoy the experience, though some stops are probably more suited to adults in terms of the narrative content. Those looking for a standard sightseeing tour may find it slower paced than they would prefer.
