Memorable Afternoon - What a wonderful afternoon we spent with Miguel as he shared his knowledge and passion for his hometown of Girona. To begin with, Miguel’s flexibility was incredible as we had some train issues from Barcelona and ended up arriving much later than anticipated. He was able to still accommodate us and provided a tour with an emphasis on the Jews of Girona. The town’s history was fascinating and the sites both beautiful and interesting. It was a memorable afternoon spent with Miguel. Highly recommend any tour with him!

Mike was an excellent Girona tour guide - Mike’s tour of Girona was absolutely excellent! He was so knowledgeable, both as a native and local, as well as having a rich knowledge of the overall and Jewish history of Girona. Mike was very friendly and having taken tours in many of the 30 countries I’ve visited, one of the absolute best. Thank you, Mike!

We were very disappointed... - We were very disappointed with the tour. The most we saw was at the Jewish museum which we could have done on our own for only 4 euros. Our guide spent a lot of time talking with her fellow who was being trained for the tour. We have taken many Viator tours and this was definitely not up to the usual quality.
