An Honest Look at the ONLY Game of Thrones Tour in Girona
If you’re a Game of Thrones fan visiting Catalonia, this one-hour tour promises to take you straight to the series’ most iconic filming spots in Girona. For just $32, you’ll meet your friendly, knowledgeable guide—likely Dani or David—who will lead you through the streets where Arya Stark ran from her enemies or the grand cathedral that served as the Great Sept of Baelor. The tour is designed to be concise yet packed with visual comparisons, videos, and insider details, making it a perfect quick hit for fans and curious travelers alike.
Two things stand out immediately: First, the expert guides who bring genuine enthusiasm and extensive knowledge—that’s what many reviews highlight as the tour’s biggest strength.
