About this tour
A five-hour private walking tour through Girona's medieval heart, from the soaring cathedral and Jewish quarter to the picturesque Onyar bridges, paired with tastings at neighbourhood taverns. You'll stop at three specialist establishments to sample local cured meats, seafood, and regional wines—the dishes locals actually eat. Starting from Palamos port or your hotel, a local guide steers you through narrow lanes and plazas before returning you by taxi.

- Barrio Judío (medieval Jewish quarter) architecture
- Onyar river bridges and riverside views

- Private guide, no group queueing
- Port or hotel pickup and drop-off included
What to expect
Your guide collects you from Palamos by taxi and drives you to Girona's old quarter (roughly 40 minutes). Once there, you're on foot for the next three-plus hours, moving through the compact medieval streets at an easy pace. You'll see the cathedral's austere Gothic facade, wander the narrow lanes of the former Jewish enclave, and cross the distinctive iron bridges spanning the Onyar. Between landmarks, you'll slip into three different bars and taverns to taste what the region produces—cured ham, local fish preparations, cheese—with a glass of wine or beer at each stop. Nothing fancy; these are working neighbourhood spots where the food speaks for itself.
Good to know
Wear comfortable walking shoes for uneven medieval cobblestones. The tour involves significant walking but suits all fitness levels. Cruise passengers must provide ship details at booking. Tipping is not included. Allow time for the taxi transfer from Palamos; confirm your hotel or port pickup time when you book.
