What to do and see in Girona, Catalonia: The Best Bus Tours

May 9, 2022 Fernanda Pittenger

One of the most historic sites in Spain, Girona lies in northeast Catalonia, just 99 km (62 mi) from Barcelona. Founded by Romans, the city later was taken over by Moors and Franks before finally falling under the rule of Barcelona. Influenced by different cultures and religions, the city beckons visitors with beautiful architecture. The Old and New Town offer many opportunities to pleasurably get lost and observe local life and culture.

We have 5 in our group who flew in from Toronto just after noon time for a 7-night cruise embarking the same day. With this tight schedule, we were looking for a private transfer which would allow us to make a stop at La Sagrada Familia for some pictures, as two of us have never been to Barcelona and would like to have a glimpse of this famous attraction. Xavier was very responsive to our initial inquiry and all follow-up emails and courteous in letting us fit this in our very tight time-frame and shown us a couple of landmarks without having to pay a lot more. Our flight arrived slightly earlier than scheduled and Xavier was almost there when we called. He is friendly and welcoming. His driving was excellent and we felt safe and comfortable. We also booked our return transfer from the cruise port back to BCN airport right after disembarkation. His partner, Roger, was also a very good driver. We will definitely use their service again if we return to this beautiful Spanish city in the future.

We spent 3 days in Barcelona on a private tour with Barcelona's Best Tour Guide, Feliciano. We visited Montserrat, the wine district, Costa Brava and Barcelona city sights. Feliciano makes you feel just like family. He is warm, kind, funny and so knowledgable with impeccable English. What he doesn't know about the beautiful Catalunya region of Spain is probably not worth knowing. Our experience was so much richer in his hands. Can't wait to go back and again.

Fabulous experience!! Priscila was the best tour guide. She walked us thru Gothic streets and took us to places that was not part of the tour. So worth the tour and highly recommend Priscila who speaks very fluent English and has immense patience. She is extremely knowledgable and engages us in the history of each site we had been to. Perfectly paced tour with a nice coffee break and a decent lunch.

I definitely recommending this company and this tour as they are very welcoming and doing a job professionally, During a Pandemic (COVID-19) we have been on a business trip in Spain, France and we have had some free days, so it was interesting for us to able to do this tour or not? We have contacted this company and from the first, we received lots of accurate and to the date information about how to traveling in pandemic in Spain, what documents shall we carry on and … They car was extremely clean and leggy, with safety partition and for keeping the risk as low as possible, they were only us in the car and it was completely private tour. The tour was fantastically organized, our tour guide was very knowledgeable and always wearing a mask and we were finding that he is customizing a tour based on our interests. Extremely worthwhile and unique experience and hope this pandemic ended up soon and everybody can travel easily in the world like before .
