We had a great guide -- absolutely charming and knowledgeable. Because of the steep hills in Girona, my wife could only do part of the tour. When she returned to the hotel, the guide and I continued. Because of the situation, she must have made some modifications, since we did not go inside any buildings. I had hoped to go inside at least one place in the Jewish Quarter, such as the museum. As I understand, there is no synagogue if there was one, I would have appreciated a brief visit. Still, I would recommend this tour for an overall understanding of old-town Girona in general and the Jewish Quarter in particular.
