Girona Private Tour
Meet your guide in Plaça de Sant Feliú square to begin your private tour around the historic city centre of Girona. For approximately three hours you'll explore the streets of what is known as the “City of the Four Rivers” while your guide reveals the fascinating history and secrets of this location.
We'll start by saying hello to the famous statue known as the Lioness's Butt, and then we'll learn about the different stages of construction of the Basilica of Sant Feliú. In addition, we'll tell you about the legend of the miracle of the flies...
Walking along the Via Augusta, the old Roman road which connected the historic Mediterranean territory of Hispania (the Iberian Peninsula) with what is now Italy, you'll arrive at the former defensive city walls. These ancient remains are a testimony to the Roman, Visigoth, Carolingian and Medieval eras which have shaped the history of Girona.
Your private guided tour will then continue to the Jewish Quarter, a labyrinth of narrow streets in which this community's heritage has been preserved. This neighbourhood, commonly known as the 'Call', was home to one of the most important Jewish communities in Spain, which at one point constituted a tenth of Girona's total population. As you explore its picturesque streets, which were home to the Medieval Kabbalistic philosopher and Sephardic Rabbi Nachmanides, you will hear all about the Jewish way of life in the Middle Ages.
From the Jewish Quarter, you'll stroll along the delightful Carrer de la Força and the beautiful boulevard known as La Rambla. Wander along the banks of the Onyar River and enjoy the view of the famous colourful houses and iconic bridges of Girona: the Pont de Pedra, Pont de les Peixateries Velles (designed by Gustave Eiffel) and Puente de la Princesa.
Your private tour will come to an end at the Plaça de la Independència, an area well-known for its restaurants and terraces where you can have a drink or a spot of lunch after the tour. See you next time!
