Traveler reviews
Girona and Figueres
Our guide, Sandra, was amazing! Very informative and even when we got lost going back to the meeting point she waited and found us to take us back to the bus! Girona, was a beautiful city and so happy to have seen the Dali museum in Figueres.
We chose the guided tour...
We chose the guided tour option. The 2 hour guided tour after considering that the guide spoke alternately in English and Spanish seemed more like a 1 hour tour. We regret not having taken the self guided option which included admission to the Cathedral. It was not included in the guided option.
Girona is a must-see from Barcelona. Beautiful!
Excellent tour of such a marvelous village. Our tour guide, Sandra, was wonderful — informative, friendly, engaging, and helpful.
Extremely rude and arrogant staff in tour agency!
Our tour to Girona was cancelled abruptly with only a message of prior notice. So we went to the meeting point only to find out there it was cancelled. The ladies at the tour agency were extremely rude and arrogant. Since the tour was cancelled, my mom was asking how I'll get the refund. The lady said they needed to call their booking department so my mom asked the other lady (as seen in image) for the number. She proceeds to say the booking department has no number repetitively, and my mom tried to clarify it with her multiple times. The lady I was originally talking to tells me there is a number and gives my mom a calling card. Then, the other lady says she never said there was no number and not to "put words in her mouth". My mom said that she did (because she really did) and IF she had been recording it, the lady could see that she really said there is no number. The lady proceeds to accuse my mom of recording her and threatens to call security on her. Afterwards, she proceeded to talk badly about my mom in Spanish to her colleague in front of us. When my mom said she understood everything she was saying, she said "I don't care". This continued on for about 10 minutes with her saying terrible and rude things. Even when my mom was not saying anything anymore, she continued to stare at her with an angry look on her face. She only stopped when her colleague finally told her to stop. She never apologized for her actions despite everything she had done and said.
