We had a wonderful walking tour. Our guide Monica Berta was friendly and knowledgeable. The walk was easy and rounded out with a tapas tasting and wine or beer at the end in a restaurant in the old city. We were a small group of six which I think gave us a really good experience, too. Great way to see Girona and get an understanding of the history.
