Girona Private History Tour

Meet your guide in Plaça de Sant Feliu 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. 

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. You will be able to have a short walk over the wall to see the views of the city from its highest point.

Your guide also will explain you from outside the Impressive Cathedral of Santa Maria which contains the widest Gothic nave in the wold, the Arab Baths, the Basilica of Sant Feliu and other important monuments of this part of the city.

Your private guided tour will then continue to the Jewish Quarter, a labyrinth of narrow streets in which this community's heritage has
been well 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 Nahmanides, 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 by the Onyar River.
