Hola! This is Laura a fully licensed guide of Catalonia, born and bread here ;) When I was studying tourism I wasn't 100% sure of what or where it was going to take me; but with a love for history, art , languages and being a people person, becoming a tour guide was the most natural path for me to follow. Since qualifying in 2012, guiding has been not just my full time job, but my passion. I feel so grateful to be able to meet different people everyday and show all the secrets and history the fascinating city of Girona and its region has to offer. I am a foodie! When it comes to food I am in 'Heaven'. I love to travel, to explore and taste new places. When I am picking my next adventure, the culture and its food is always at the top of my list. So if too are a big culinary fan like me, then let me also show the delights of Catalan gastronomy. I qualified with a Cultural Master's Degree at the University of Girona were I have also taught lessons on Tour Guiding to my peers. Catalonia is a big sporting region and I am lucky enough to be able to open water swim, ride on the Costa Brava and hike in the hills of Montserrat. So come follow me on your next adventure and I will make sure it is an experience that you will never forget. Are you with me? - Licensed Tour guide number 2829 since 2012 - Tourism Degree at University of Girona - Cultural Master's Degree at University of Girona - Professor on the subject "Tour Guiding" at the University of Girona - Teacher at Barcelona Guide Bureau on Guide training for future licensed guides - Member of AGUICAT "Licensed Guides of Catalonia Association" - Member of AGG "Girona Guide's Association" I have no restrictions

Overview of your Girona tour

I am a Salvador Dalí fan and a Girona city lover! Make the most of your day by visiting the biggest, most surreal productions that the eccentric artist Salvador Dalí ever made, combined with a walking tour in the historical city of Girona. You will dive into the unique museum that the artist created during a 10 year period of his life. I will explain to you about his art, which was strongly related to his childhood, his relationships with his father, sister, wife & muse, Gala. His relationship with psychoanalysis, science and the classic masters, plus all of his fears. . . and much more. By the end of the tour you will understand what his aims were to call the attention of the world. In Girona, we will go back in time and discover the city's history, it's secrets hidden down medieval alleys, it's time as part of the Roman Empire and with the option to enter the beautiful Cathedral. Iconic parts of Girona including the Jewish quarter and if requested, some scenes from the 6th season of Game of Thrones.

We had a wonderful day visiting the Dali Museum and the old town of Girona with Laura. She is very knowledgeable and her insights added so much richness to our time. The Dali Museum surpassed all of our expectations. She pointed out so many things we would have missed on our own and helped us understand more about this incredibly talented and unique artist. We also appreciated walking the streets of Girona, and taking in its beauty while learning about its history. We would definitely recommend her.

We had a wonderful second day with Laura as a guide touring the Dali Museum and Girona. She has so much knowledge and enthusiasm for the area that she truly brings extra life to the city and museum. The area is beautiful and the museum a highlight of our trip. We learned so much more with Laura as a guide and felt like we were welcome guests in the city. Highly recommend!!

AMAZING TOUR! Kids were listening with their mouth open! they still discuss Dali, and stories that Laura told us! She was very passionate about Dali, and that's what made kids so attentive and interested! Highly recommend!

Our group of 8 friends had an extraordinary day with Laura. She was not only a delight to be with but more than that, her knowledge and passion for all that she spoke of so enhanced our experience at the Dali Museum as well as our tour of Girona. By the end of the day, we would have been sad to say good bye to Laura except we had already booked her to tour us in old town Barcelona the following day. It, like day 1, couldn't have been better.

Laura is an exceptional guide. She is smart, intelligent, and knowledgeable and easily conveys lots of information without overpowering her clients. Laura is also a really nice person and we very much enjoyed our time with her. We feel fortunate to have found her, as we were originally planning to just take the train to both towns and do the tour ourselves. We are so glad that we did not do that as we learned so much from Laura in a very short period of time. Bravo, Laura, Bravo!

Fabulous day visiting Dali's museum in Figueres, home in Port Lligat and Gala's home in Pubol. Laura's knowledge and enthusiasm made the tour all the more exciting. We covered a lot of ground, but it was worth every minute!
