Railway Tours in Girona

Montserrat and Girona Day Trip from Barcelona

I had a great experience...

I had a great experience overall, but the walk from the main square to the Girona train station added some unexpected stress and physical strain to my trip. I suggesting to have the tour bus drop off passengers at the train station first before heading to the final destination.

Private Tour: Get into one of the oldest medieval cities in Europe – Girona

7 Day MSC Cruise to the Mediterranean.

We left Phoenix May 18 and traveled via Air Canada to Lisbon. There we spent 3 wonderful days exploring the city before we boarded a flight to Barcelona. We had one day to spend in Barcelona before boarding a 7 day Mediterranean cruise on the MSC Splendida. Our itinerary took us to Marseille (Provence), France, Livorno (Florence), Italy, Cagliari (Sardinia), Palermo Italy, La Valletta Malta and back to Barcelona. Of the above sites we could easily have bypassed Marseille and Palermo. Palmero was the worst stop. Garbage was everywhere, traffic jams and horns blaring filled the air. It was complete waste of time. The MSC cruise ship/experience was very similar to the Royal Caribbean cruise we took out of Venice last year. The difference came down to three items: 1. MSC stopped water service after breakfast. If you wanted a glass of water you had to pay for it! 2. The smell of smoke was everywhere on the MSC ship. It was supposed to be limited to specific sections but we regularly saw people walking on all decks both smoking cigarettes and vaping while crew members ignored it. 3. There was no adult pool on the MSC ship. You always had children to contend with wherever you laid out. The crew and entertainment were first rate. The food was what you expect to get on a cruise. If you want something "special" you book a reservation at a specialty restaurant and pay extra, which we did one night. One final note; there were probably under 20 Americans on this cruise and we were delighted to spend time with so many people from Europe. We never had a bad experience and if MSC would make just a couple of changes we might book with them again.

Private Dali Museum, Besalu & Girona Tour from Barcelona

Best way to see these sites!

We had SUCH a great time and learned so much. Our tour guide, Arnau, was amazing. He gave us Dalí’s entire biography on the train ride to Figueres and showed us the highlights at the museum, which made the entire experience so much more enjoyable and enlightening. Then, he guided us around Besalú and Girona with ease. It was the perfect balance of guided time and free time. Highly recommend ratafia and coques in Besalú and xuixo in Girona. Arnau was so knowledgeable and engaging. I’ve spent some time in Spain and feel pretty capable navigating around myself, but I feel this tour genuinely was the best way to see these towns and to learn about these sites. If you’re looking for an easy but enlightening trip, choose this tour!
