Hello travelers! My name is David, born and raised in Figueres. Yes! Figueres, the birthplace of the genius Salvador Dalí and home of his amazing Theater Museum of surrealist art. After graduating in Economics at Girona University life took me to Hungary, Czech Republic, Australia and China to finish my formation in the field of International Relations and eventually Chinese Mandarin. My eagerness to learn push me to travel as much as I could and when I left China I started a two years overland journey that brought me home after several years away. Once at home I rediscovered Spain's beauty, its interesting culture, great gastronomy and excellent weather and decided to become a guide to share it with travellers from all over the world. As a guide, I've lead multiple days walking tours in the Camino de Santiago (St James Way), cycling tours in Costa Brava and Pyrenees and educational bus tours all over Spain. More than a job, guiding is my passion, especially in my home region L'Empordà which is one of the (possibly) many paradises on earth but this is the one I know best, guiding tours in here offers me the opportunity to share and enjoy it with you all. From the rugged and beatiful coast named Costa Brava with its picturesque fishing villages and pristine beaches, through the cute well preserved medieval towns and Iberian, Greek and Roman ruins, to the surrealist art and its world's famous great gastronomy, L'Empordà offers you memorable ever-lasting experiences. Have a look at my tours listed here and pick the one you think it suits you better. Of course, I am open to suggestions and will be more than happy to customize a tour for you based on your interests and preferences. Come over! I am sure you won't be disappointed!

According to local law we should use an expert and licensed guide inside of monuments and museums - I will arrange this service for you

David was an AMAZING guide to Girona!! Our ship port was changed from Marseille to Palamós so we were scrambling last minute to figure out what to do and he was able to put together a custom tour for us of Girona, Peratallada, and Calella De Palafrugell. He picked us up at the port and dropped back off and we felt like we maximized our time in the best possible way. It was a big component to what made the tour so great. Great personality and impressive knowledge of the history and culture. A++

David was a great guide and we enjoyed our tour. We were a large group and had some varied age and experience levels, but he was patient and accommodating. We loved biking on safe country roads and then exploring the medieval town we visited. Lunch was convenient and tasty. The Girona walking tour was interesting, and we felt like we got to know the city better than we would have on our own. Highly recommend!

We highly recommend David for a tour through the Girona countryside! David is an amazing guide who tailored our tour to what we wanted to do. The countryside is amazing and the villages were so beautiful! David took us to the best family owned Catalan restaurant with the nicest staff and the most amazing food! Then we were back to the city of Girona for a tour and history lesson! The whole day was one of our favorite days while visiting Spain for two weeks. Thank you David! Your the best!

Your Girona tour itinerary

We'll meet in the morning ready for our ebike tour in a countryside village of the Empordà region (about 45min drive from Girona). An easy ride will take us through farm fields, forests and cute little medieval villages with remains of castles and moats, quiet cobbled streets full of history, wide squares, ancient churches and towers, etc. Get your cameras ready, you'll fall in love with the area! After lunch, it's time for our guided visit in Girona's old town. Some of the highlights of our walk are: - The old Jewish Quater - The cobbled medieval streets - The picturesque bridges over the Onyar river - The staircase to the Gothic Cathedral
