Great One day Tour out of Barcelona - Girona City Tour with guide Fily was beyond my expectations. This beautiful old city has lot to offer as to the history buff visitor. Guide Fily was very knowledgeable and helpful. He took us to walking tour to see GoT HBO Show Episode shooting location, I was delighted to see the Cathedral and tower as I am GoT fan. Rambala Lliberated area visit to see nice river and cafes lined with trees and flowers.
On way to Costa Brava, stopped to see Village Medieval de Pals, beautiful old village with cobblestone streets and winding slope.
Though it rained lightly when we reached Costa Brava Beach Playas Calella, it was still beautiful site. it was very enjoyable trip

A Must See Tour - A most enjoyable tour that shouldn’t be missed. Feliciano was an excellent guide explaining the history of the beautiful old city of Girona and the coast of Costa Brava. Our daughter enjoyed the Game of Thrones filming location. Plenty of good seafood in Costa Brava.

Beautiful scenery, tons of history, and impressively knowledge guides! - This was an awesome trip! Feliciano was was one of the most knowledgeable tour guide I’ve ever had. He could answer questions about architecture, history, art, wine, food, sports, etc. He paid special attention to what each of our group members were interested in and went out of his way to point out things that we would like. The tour went from Girona, to Pals, to Costa Brava, so it was a really good mix of things to see. Girona was my favorite, as there was a lot of history and architecture that I really enjoyed, plus Feliciano was able to point out some filming locations for Game of Thrones. At the beach, we were on our own for an hour and a half, and he showed us where the least crowded beach was and gave us lovely lunch recommendations. Overall, if you love history, beaches, and have a lot of questions to ask, this tour with Feliciano is for you!!
