Step by Step

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).

    The tour covered many areas of historical values. Our tour guide Matt was very knowledgeable on this. He gave us detailed explanations. Matt is a friendly natured guy and spoke well. Most importantly a steady and safe driver. Our compliments to him.

    Your mileage may vary, but one half of the tour guests had to cancel leaving the tour practically private! Luckily for me and my part of the group, Chima, our guide, still pulled through for us instead of cancelling altogether. Chima prompted picked us up at our hotel and we were on our way. He was funny and knowledgeable throughout the whole day. I thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of the trip but especially loved the game of thrones references in Girona! I also will always remember the caganer and the tio Christmas log.

    Chema was the best tour guide I ever had on any trip. We had a very personal tour with only 4 people total (me and my fiance plus one other couple) and it was really special to have someone so knowledgeable about architecture, history, and culture with us. It was a very personal tour every step of the way and I learned so much on this tour that I felt like a local. It gave me an even bigger appreciation for Spain’s history and culture.
