Girona, Peratallada and Costa Brava!

Our guide Paulina was awesome. She is a self proclaimed history geek and was informative and funny. It was like traveling with a dear friend. We had a spectacular time in magical medieval places. Highly recommended!

Fun, Informative Tour through Medieval Spanish towns

Paulina was a fantastic guide for our Girona, Calella & Medieval Village Day Trip tour! She was very engaging and knowledgeable as a tour guide, and taught some interesting history about Catalonia along the way. The tours were great, and she gave great recommendations of things to do during the free time on our tour - the wall in Girona was a personal highlight. She made sure everyone was included and looked out for - my family was especially grateful when she lent us an umbrella for the day after we encountered some rain towards the end of our tour. I would highly recommend this tour and Paulina as a guide!
