Traveler reviews
Girona is fantastic. Helpful caring guides.
Girona was great. Fascinating city to explore. I loved walking along the fortified wall surrounding the old quarter. The guide was friendly, caring and interesting.
The excursion was good thanks to the goodwill of Mr. Carlo; we did not have a guide or passes to the cathedral. The rest of the day we
I bought a tour to Girona for two people. To spend the whole day there. We were left without a guide and without the passes to the cathedral. I did not like that you told me at the same moment we were talking about getting on the bus. I find it disrespectful. To pay for a tour and end up on another one as an add-on. Quite uncomfortable. I would like a refund to my card or another tour. I await your response. Thank you very much.
Poor experience
Terrible experience - I was on a full day Girona tour. The description says guide is included but it is not and I learnt this at the start. Secondly it says tickets to Cathedral and Basilica included but no one sent me the tickets. The bus driver told me to contact Julia Travel but no one picks up or if they do, not helpful as they are not able to understand it. Recommend booking directly and not via third party sites like Trip Advisor
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.
