4.00Long day. be aware that if you choose only Game of Thrones tour.. you will be at Girona for over 4 hours of free time. The tour is shared with those going to Dali museum and they leave and come back. it was a long time to wait. We thought it was only 2 hours of free time according to previous reviews. It made for a very long, hot day.
Marvellous 🤩

5.00This tour is a great half day, day trip from Barcelona. Girona is an amazing town to visit, as a fan of Game of Thrones it was cool to see where some of the TV show was filmed. The tour was an hour guided and an hour of free time. The tour guide showed us some of the main filming locations and held up pictures from the TV show to compare how it looked in real life. The guided portion of the tour will end at the cathedral (great sept of baelor), from there you can continue to walk around the town on your own. Honestly it should have been about 30 minutes guided and the remaining 1.5hrs as free time as it felt like the tour guide was reaching for things to talk about and we would have preferred the extra time to eat lunch in Girona. We had a small group of roughly 15 people yet travelled on a large commuter bus so there was plenty of space to spread out. Logistically you get an e-voucher and then need to show up at the bus station in the morning and go to the Julia tour desk to get your physical tickets. This process was a bit messy as the office didn't open until a few minutes before the tour start time so there was a long queue of people waiting for various tours. It will feel a bit chaotic but don't worry the tour company will get you on the right bus and a way on your tour. While only 2 hours in Girona it was a good compromise that allowed us to see the town but also get back and enjoy other activities in Barcelona that afternoon.
Wonderful tour of a lovely city

5.00Good fun walking around the picturesque Girona town and the various locations of Game of Thrones set ! Guided tour roughly takes 1.5-2hours and another 1 hour of free time which to me slightly short for a lunch break. The bus journey takes 1.5hours to/from Barcelona each way which is quite far …. Anyway still a good experience if you have half day free in Barcelona.
