Fantastic experience: Great trip, leisurely pace, excellent food and drink with intervals covering history and tales around the food and drink. Maria was helpful and a wonderful guide. Thank you.
Fantastic experience: We (a family of 3) had the pleasure of touring with Marc, and it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment we started our journey, his passion and deep knowledge of Girona and Cataluña’s history shone through. He skillfully drove us to picturesque vineyards and enchanting medieval towns, offering insights that truly enriched our understanding of the region. His professionalism, friendly demeanor, and attention to detail made the tour seamless and enjoyable. If you’re looking to explore the heart and soul of Girona, he is the guide you need. Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: Myself and 10 friends did this tour last week guided by Noah and Elmeria?! Sorry I may have got her name wrong but she was incredible as was Noah. The tour was very interesting and opened our eyes to the history and culture of the area but the in depth knowledge and friendly nature of the guides made it such a good time. We sampled some incredible food and drink and all had such a good time I would honestly recommend it to anyone! The owners Marc and Fiona were absolutely brilliant from start to finish too and we felt so welcome which was great. 5 stars from us lads from England!
Fantastic experience: My friends and I from Denmark had a fantastic time with Girona Food Tours! Highly recommended for anyone who wants to experience Girona like a local!
Fantastic experience: Spectacular! Maria knows everything about history and food!
Fantastic experience: Amazing!!! Crazy experience and a must do in Girona!!!
Fantastic experience: We spent the day with Marco. He was excellent. Super fun to hang out with. We learned about the city of Girona and were able to taste the incredible food along the way. Strongly recommend this historic food tour.
Fantastic experience: Marc was a fantastic guide with a lovely personality and lots of knowledge about the history and context of the delicious food we enjoyed. We were a relatively large group of 9 and we felt he did a fantastic job of connecting with each and every one of us. Additionally, Marc seemed to know each of the restaurant owners and operators that we visited personally and it really felt as though we received an inside look into Girona’s community. He also never made us feel rushed and was very considerate to a member of our party who was confined to a wheelchair. All in all, we cannot recommend Marc and Girona Food Tours enough!

Fantastic experience: This is a brilliant tour for any group to do. Mark brings the history of this special city to life in a unique and interesting way and the food stops give a great insight into the wonderful food and culture of Girona. A Cava and some very nice wine thrown in adds up to a great evening out. Thoroughly recommend Mark and his tour.
Thank you for your kind words! We're glad to hear that you enjoyed the tour with Marc and that it provided you with a memorable experience of Girona's history, food, and culture.

Fantastic experience: We, a group of 5 good friends on holiday at Camiral Golf and Wellness, signed up for a gourmet food and wine tour of Girona by night with Girona Food Tours. It was most certainly the highlight of our holiday! Marc is an amazing host and guide, and Jazzy was super to deal with in the booking and organisation phase leading up to our tour. Marc helpfully organised a private transfer for us to and from Girona which made our night run very smoothly. Marc is so knowledgeable about Girona, its history, gastronomy and culture. He showed us some hidden gems that we returned to the following day. He gave us a very good sense of the layout of the city which was very helpful. The food and wines we tasted during the tour were delicious and there was plenty! Everybody we came across during the tour in restaurants and shops was very welcoming and friendly- and clearly very fond of Marc. The time flew by. What a super tour. We would recommend this tour to anybody visiting Girona. Thanks so much Marc and Jazzy.
Thank you for taking the time to leave such a wonderful review. It truly means the world to us to hear about your fantastic experience on your Girona Tapas and Wine Tour by Night.
It brings us so much joy to hear that you and your friends had such a memorable time with us and your description of the tour experience warmed our hearts. It's moments like these that remind us why we love what we do.
We're beyond grateful for your recommendation and are already looking forward to the opportunity to welcome you back for another unforgettable gastronomic adventure in Girona.
Thank you once again for choosing Girona Food Tours!

Fantastic experience: Patricia was a knowledgeable and passionate host for our food and history tour of Girona. I enjoyed and can recommend the experience.
Fantastic experience: What a beautiful tour! Maria, our tour guide, was an absolute star! She accommodated all food restrictions and she was very welcoming. We had a great time socializing with others on the trip - Maria helped as well. We got plenty of suggestions on where to go and what to eat, as well as where else we should go to visit. Absolute must-do in Girona if you're a foodie!
Fantastic experience: Excellent food tour. Gina, our guide, was fantastic. She was brilliant. We visited so many restaurants, markets, ice cream stalls and ate lots of delicious food that we never would have found on our own. She also gave us lots of great recommendations for places to eat when we had time. Furthermore, she included so much rich history in the tour. Brilliant experience!
Fantastic experience: Our guide Gina was outstanding, the places we went were wonderful, and the food was outstanding. We learned a lot. This is one of the best food tours that we have been on.
Fantastic experience: We had a tour arranged for our Company retreat and it exceeded our expectations. We were quite a large group with quite a few dietary restrictions and they did a good job accommodating us in this regard. The tour was very well organized and we got to see many different attractions and taste a bunch of delicious foods. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and personable.
Fantastic experience: My wife and I went on a food tour of Girona with Girona Food Tours. Our tour guide was Gina. It was a fantastic experience. Gina was very knowledgeable and very welcoming and nice. She speaks excellent English which was a plus for us. She was also very helpful about restaurant and food recommendations. She was a joy to be around!! Highly recommend Girona Food Tours and if possible request Gina as your guide. You will love the experience!!
Fantastic experience: Amazing experience with Marc, I would highly recommend for anyone in this area! Me and the lads really loved it.
Fantastic experience:
Very friendly and competent tour guide. Girona at night is particularly enchanting and the explanations were very interesting. Not to mention that the offered culinary experience was excellent. The selected restaurants were very good and authentic!

Fantastic experience: We had a great experience with Girona Food Tours! The private tour included a good mix of Girona history and food stops, and we enjoyed our tour guide Marc. The jamon shop was definitely a highlight!
Fantastic experience: In short, an amazing tour which we cannot recommend highly enough! For a longer review read on... Girona is such a fantastic town that we have visited many times and for a long time we wanted to be guided around the incredible array of food stores, markets and restaurants that the city offers. The quality generally is very high indeed, but we were still missing local knowledge and the inside track on things. Girona Food Tours has a nice shop window in the centre of town that caught our eye years ago but this time we emailed to make contact. We got a very quick reply from Marc, the proprietor who we met and immediately liked. So... we signed up, the two of us. Just at the moment, tourism is a little quiet in Spain of course, but even though we were just a group of two, Marc made a special itinerary for us tailored to our wish to see local food and to discover Catalan flavours. Typically the tour might be four hours, but by the time we had been introduced to the owners of all the shops we went to and had little samples of delicacies and visited the amazing Girona food market and stopped five times for a drink or bite to eat, we ran to more like seven hours! This wasn’t bad planning, but instead just a sign that Marc loves his work. He loves to guide and show and teach and his passion meant that no one was checking the clock. There’s really too much to relate, but we met the lady whose shop makes chocolate and owns the African estate where the cocoa beans are picked (amazing), a very old bakery, an amazing Jamon shop, met a farmer and sampled cheese including some he makes himself, an amazing butcher and fishmonger... I could go on. Marc is at last fully open for business following lockdown and if you want a special day of laughter and culinary adventure you should go. I won’t say the price, but it really was not expensive. All the tastes and food along the way was part of the package but I must admit that we couldn’t resist buying quite a few gorgeous foods and wines. Our expedition has been a highlight of the trip to Girona and I think it’s an absolute must. This is starting to sound like an advert, but it’s just an honest review from two people that had an amazing time and would love you to share it too!
Fantastic experience: This was a major highlight of our recent visit to Spain. If you are visiting Girona (which I highly recommend), you should absolutely book a food tour with Girona Food Tours. We had an amazing time tasting delicious pastries, bread, chocolate, ham, wine, and other local delicacies. But this is so much more than a food tasting. Marc is incredibly knowledgeable about food and the history of Girona and led us on a wonderful walking tour of the city, and we learned so much along the way. Marc is a great storyteller, engaging speaker, and his love for Girona inspired our entire group. I am already planning our next trip to Girona and am looking forward to our next Girona Food Tour.
Fantastic experience: Awesome experience! Marc went out of his way to show us things we were interested in and taught us so much about the cultural history of Catalunya, which is as always such a big influence on the food scene. His tour is a great deal and a fantastic introduction to Griona.
Fantastic experience: Pat was the best! She made us feel like we were long time friends and was very informative. The food was excellent and you left full.
Fantastic experience: Great tour, better food and an even better tour guide
Fantastic experience: Fantastic tour around a beautiful city!! We couldn’t believe how many samples we got to try! Pat was extremely informative and you can tell how much she loves her job!! A definite must when visiting Girona!
Fantastic experience: This tour is run by Girona Food Tours, but that only tells half the story. It's a fantastic way to really get under the skin of this amazing city. Our tour guides Marc and Patricia split our large group of 17 and taught us not only the gastronomic delights of Girona, but also its history and how it operates on a day-to-day basis. They were both so friendly and knowledgeable throughout the day - and even accommodated not only our huge group, but they waited for us when we missed our train and were a bit late. They couldn't do enough to help us. For approximately 70 euros each, you really do get value for money. We sampled local meats, seafood, and even ice cream. And we had a sit-down tapas meal with wine, which allowed us all to catch our breath mid-way through what was an enthralling four-hour tour. All in all, this is a must-do activity if you're visiting Girona. I guarantee you'll learn so much!
Fantastic experience: Marc was very accommodating, as we scheduled a tour very last minute. The tour is all about learning the history of the city, the culture, and how food intertwines into all of it. We walked away with amazing photos, but most importantly full of food, wine, and an understanding of Girona as if we had lived there our entire life. Very energizing tour, very engaging and well planned out. Worth it!
Fantastic experience: Highly recommended if you want to get to know the interesting history of Girona as well as eat your way through the town. We learned a lot and the food was extremely delicious! Lots of cool history that we later recognized in souvenirs that we never would have known if we hadn't gone on the tour.
Fantastic experience: Very informative on both the local food and drink and also on the city of Girona. A relaxing walk through various areas of the city tasting and drinking a wide sampling of foods from desserts to meats. Each stop showcased a local delight. Our guide (Pat) did an excellent job and I would highly recommend this tour. There are so many things to see and do in Girona, but if I had to pick only one.... this would be the tour to take.
Fantastic experience: If you're a foodie or a history buff this tour is a must for when you're in Girona. It combines the best of the two- you get to learn all about the city as you explore it, eating your way through. Markets, shops, restaurants, epic photo spots- you'll visit them all as you make your way through Girona. This tour was the highlight of my time in Girona and I've recommended it to several people since I took it.
Fantastic experience: This is a wonderful tour. Very informative about local food, producers and market. A full half day with plenty of stops for tasting. Màrc can answer any question about the food, history and culture.
Fantastic experience:
Fantastic treatment with a very relaxed tour. Highly recommended to discover Girona both culturally and clearly gastronomically.
