Private Tour: Girona, Pals and Peratallada Medieval Towns from Barcelona

Start your private tour with a pick up from your hotel. Then, hop inside an air-conditioned minivan and travel to the ancient walled city of Girona in northern Catalonia. During the journey, hear how the hillside city is believed to have been founded around 76 BC, and ask your guide any questions you may have — the beauty of a private tour is that the commentary is entirely tailored to your interests.

On arrival, set off on a walking tour of Girona Old Town (El Barri Vell). With your guide leading the way, stroll along the labyrinth of narrow streets and soak up the old-world atmosphere. Pass by the 11th-century cathedral, wander through the Jewish quarter — one of the best preserved in Europe — and head inside the Arab Baths with your guide to explore.

Then, return to your minivan and continue on to Pals, a charming medieval village built around a fortress. With your guide, explore the historical monuments in the village’s ancient center, including an impressive Romanesque tower — Torre de las Horas (Tower of the Hours) — which was constructed between the 11th and 13th centuries.

Next, make for Peratallada, one of Catalonia’s most beautiful villages. Here, you’ll enjoy around 1.5 hours of free time to stroll along the heritage stone streets and refuel with lunch at a local restaurant (own expense). On route to the restaurant, snap photos of the beautifully preserved lanes and heavy stone arches, and pass by a fortified castle and keep, a grand palace and a 12th-century Romanesque church.

When the time comes, join back up with your guide and minivan, and then relax on the return journey to your Barcelona hotel, where your tour concludes.

Please note: A minimum of two people per booking is required.
