Carolina is a very friendly and knowledgeable guide. She is a local and takes pride in her city. She knows a lot about Girona, its history and legends, and also about the Game of Thrones scenes filmed there. She put everything in context with photos and videos.

Girona Tour From Barcelona

Masterpieces like Gaudi’s Sagrada Familia, Casa Batllo, and Park Guell offers visitors a vast array of modernist works to admire. Although Barcelona’s sites and activities can keep you busy for days on end, anyone coming to visit should make time for a one day trip from Barcelona to Girona. If you think Barcelona is full of beauty, visit Girona Spain. Narrow cobbled alleys, city walls, and one of the best-preserved Jewish Quarters in Europe make the city of Girona a gorgeous place to visit.
