Our tour guide was Mike, and he was a wealth of knowledge, and so much fun. Half way through the tour we stopped for lunch. Mike’s suggestions for restaurants was excellent. Regarding the tour itself, learning about the 1,000 year history and extensive contributions of the Jewish people in Girona and Besalu was eye-opening. It was disturbing to learn of the persecution and ghettoization of the Jewish people through the centuries, in spite of the fact that they were financial advisors and physicians to the elite of Spanish society. Particularly moving was the beauty of these two Medieval cities. Walking the narrow, winding streets was like being in a Time Machine. Our guide filled us in on the religious history of the cities, both Christian and Jewish. We saw where the synagogues used to be, and at the end of the tour, we visited the Jewish History museum of Girona. Fascinating! Our guide’s breadth of information was breathtaking. Suggestions: Bring good walking shoes!

The tour was incredible! It was because we had an amazing tour guide, Miguel. He is so knowledgeable and nice and made the entire day interesting and fun. We also were the only ones on the tour so we got a really personalized tour. We learned so much in such a short time. The tour exceeded our expectations thanks to Miguel! I highly recommend this tour with Miguel!

Our young tour guide Gerard was very informative and personable. Gerard was also happy to incorporate Game of Thrones trivia with the Jewish tour. Girona has a great old town, but is also a vibrant city. Nice to choose a restaurant for lunch in advance. Besalu has one interesting Jewish sight (a mikvah), but I would have been fine skipping Besalu. The agency was willing to provide transport from BCN for a fee, but our family opted to take the fast train on our own from BCN (roughly 40 minutes). Either works. Would definitely recommend a visit to Girona if one still has time to see the key sights of BCN.
