This was a wonderful tour. Our guide, Carolina, was very knowledgeable and personable, and she gave us a terrific tour. I would highly recommend this tour.
SharonGordon, May 2026
Very informative and friendly. Carolina was delightful. It was such a well rounded tour, Girona history, Jewish history with a little GOT thrown in as well!
Joan_F, Apr 2026
The tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. He had time for conversation and any questions. He seemed sincerely very interested in the subject matter.
Lauren_G, Apr 2026
This was a fantastic tour!! My friend and I loved it. Dylan was an amazing tour guide and more. He really shared his deep knowledge of Girona, his compassion for the Jewish people from their arrival in Girona, their expulsion from Girona, and their many contributions to Girona. He is passionate and caring in his approach to sharing all of this information. He also gave us a long list of restaurants to go to for lunch after the tour. He went above and beyond and we really learned so much that we never would have known if we had tried to do it on our own. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to understand the deep history of Girona and its people.

We appreciated Girona Spain so much due to the fabulous information that Pau gave us.
He was friendly, informative, and respectful of the Jewish history. Would definitely do another tour with Pau.
Emily_W, Mar 2026
We booked a tour of the Jewish quarter in English. Our guide Pau was very knowledgeable and took us through not only the Jewish quarter, but gave us the historical context over centuries. He also guided us through the Jewish History Museum, and his commentary added a lot to our understanding of what we saw.
Judith_O, Jan 2026
We were very disappointed with the tour. The most we saw was at the Jewish museum which we could have done on our own for only 4 euros. Our guide spent a lot of time talking with her fellow who was being trained for the tour. We have taken many Viator tours and this was definitely not up to the usual quality.
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Hi Judith,
We so sorry you didnd enjoy the tour.
As you were the only customers that day you have had a private tour that day with a guide only for you. Our guides are experts in Jewish history of Girona and some times we have students trainig to be guides. We are very sorry if this bothered tou.
We always try our best!

Fascinating history of the ancient Jewish quarter & the Jewish experience in Girona. Ona was an excellent tour guide. The museum is a must-see. Highly recommend.

Very interesting and comprehensive. Appreciated going through the Jewish museum with the guide and the interweaving of the Jewish and general history of Girona.
Alan_S, Jun 2025
Mike’s tour of Girona was absolutely excellent! He was so knowledgeable, both as a native and local, as well as having a rich knowledge of the overall and Jewish history of Girona. Mike was very friendly and having taken tours in many of the 30 countries I’ve visited, one of the absolute best. Thank you, Mike!
Joshua_M, Dec 2024

Ellen_H, Nov 2024
Seeing a display of the wall that enclosed the Jewish quarter. It was interesting. I liked the museum.
michael_c, Oct 2024
Our guide Pete was fantastic. Personable, and very very knowledgeable about the long and fascinating history of the Jews in Girona and the city itself. A terrific experience for my wife and I.
Crystal_K, Oct 2024
Miguel was knowledgeable and enthusiastic about Jewish history of Girona. We hope to come back to Girona with our family to explore more with this guide
Teri_M, Sep 2024
Mike, our guide, brought the history of Girona alive through stories and personal conversation as a lifelong resident of Girona. His knowledge of Jewish history and Jewish practice is extensive and goes beyond only what it would seem he needed to know for the tour alone. I thoroughly enjoyed the tour and the visit to the Jewish museum.
David_W, Sep 2024
We were met by Mike, the most enjoyable, entertaining and incredibly intelligent, knowledgeable guide. We learned so much from him about the Jewish experience though out the history of Girona and about the Catalonian identity and much more
Sandra_O, Jun 2024
Michael is as amazing. He is as very knowledgeable about the subject but also enthusiastic. We enjoyed his tour and would highly recommend him.
Myriam_E, May 2024
Couldn’t have asked for a better guide! Knowledgeable and eager to learn more, very nice and patient. Made the whole tour a highlight of our trip!
Nelson_A, May 2024

Our guide Pete Cesar was very thorough and passionate. He was extremely knowledgeable, engaging and respectful. 10 plus plus on scale of 10.
Michele_S, Mar 2024
Our guide Pere was so knowledgeable and enthusiastic - so we really enjoyed learning about old Girona and how the part played by the Jewish community. Would recommend the tour and Pere.
Rochelle_S, Nov 2023
Visiting the Jewish Museum and walking the streets. Seeing the mezuzah indents carved into the stones of two homes.
marion_k, Sep 2023
The tour guide was not a good story teller. It was just a memorized speech. I could have just read the information in a book.
Allison_D, Aug 2023
I booked Monday and there was not enough booked in so I was offered Wednesday which I was so happy about. I was contacted today and was told it's only in Spanish- I was told it was English speaking. I asked if I could do another time but we leave Thursday morning and there was not another of the same tour running on Wednesday afternoon so I had to ask for a refund.
Ivor_N, Jul 2023
Excellent tour, with a very well informed guide. Putting the history of the Jews of Gerona into the context of the history of the city was well done
Lauren_C, Mar 2023
This tour was very informative and we were taught a really well rounded history of Girona. We really appreciated how our tour guide catered the tour based on the various levels of Jewish religious knowledge of the group members. Would definitely recommend. Ona, our tour guide, was really the best!
nn0326, Dec 2022
Ona was our tour guide and she did an amazing job. She was very knowledgeable in the topic and answered all of our questions. She knew everything you could know about Girona and its history, and she knew a lot about the Jewish traditions and customs and how that impacted Jewish life in Girona.
