ONLY Game of Thrones Tour – All the spots in one hour
Girona turns television into a walking tour. This focused one-hour experience takes you straight to the city’s Game of Thrones filming locations, including the streets used for Braavos and Old Town. I like the efficient route and the use of scene clips, photos, and comparison sheets, which help you see how ordinary corners became the world of Westeros.
I also like that the guides bring Girona into the story instead of treating the city as a film set only. Dani, Jordi, David, and Eduardo David are praised for their friendly style, local stories, and strong knowledge of the show. The main consideration is the short length: at $33 per person, you are paying for a brisk, highly focused experience rather than a broad Girona sightseeing tour.
Key points to know before booking

- One hour, no sightseeing detours: The route concentrates on Game of Thrones filming spots rather than Girona’s usual headline sights.
- Braavos and Old Town locations: You visit streets and landmarks used for Arya Stark’s scenes and the Great Sept of Baelor.
- Scene comparisons make the stops clear: The guide uses videos, photographs, and printed comparison sheets to connect the real locations with the finished episodes.
- Local guides add more than television trivia: Dani, Jordi, David, and Eduardo David have also shared stories about Girona and the filming period.
- Good for mixed groups: People who have not watched the series, older family members, and children have all been able to enjoy the city-based format.
- Simple pricing: The $33 fee includes the local guide, but not tickets, food, or drinks.
Why Girona works so well as Westeros

Girona has the sort of old stone streets that need very little screen magic. Narrow lanes, stairs, walls, courtyards, and grand religious buildings give the city a dramatic look without a studio backdrop. That makes the Game of Thrones connection easy to understand once you see the before-and-after images.
The tour focuses on places used for Braavos and King’s Landing, known in the series as Old Town locations. The city’s cathedral served as the Great Sept of Baelor, one of the most memorable settings associated with the Girona episodes. The surrounding streets also became part of Arya Stark’s storyline as she moved through Braavos while fleeing danger.
I like this format because it gives each stop a clear purpose. You are not simply told that a scene was filmed somewhere in Girona. You can look at the real street, then compare it with a clip or still image showing the actors, costumes, set dressing, and camera angle.
That visual link matters. Film locations can be disappointing when the finished scene looks nothing like the present-day place. Here, the guide’s videos and photo sheets help explain what changed and what did not. You get a better sense of the production work without needing a long lecture about filmmaking.

The one-hour route, stop by stop

Meeting in the square
The meeting point is next to the monument in the square. If rain affects the start, the group meets beside Konig’s Restaurant instead. Because the meeting instructions use a monument rather than a named street address, I would check the exact location carefully before setting off.
The tour starts with the guide getting everyone oriented, then moves quickly into the old part of Girona. The advertised approach is direct: no standard city tour, no long introduction, and no padding to make the hour feel longer.
That is useful if you have limited time in Girona or are fitting the experience between other plans. It also means you should not expect a full introduction to every major sight in town. The focus is Game of Thrones first.
Girona’s old streets as Braavos
The first major pleasure is seeing how Girona’s old streets became Braavos. The stone lanes and stairways give the series a convincing sense of place, and the guide points out where important scenes were filmed.
Arya Stark’s storyline is central here. You can stand in the same streets used as she fled her enemies, then watch a clip or compare a production image with the view in front of you. For fans, this is the moment when Girona stops being an attractive medieval city and becomes part of the story.
The exact order of the stops may vary, but the experience is designed to cover the principal filming points in the available hour. Do not expect time for long personal photo sessions at every location. The advantage is that you keep moving and see more of the relevant spots.

The cathedral and the Great Sept of Baelor
The cathedral provides the tour’s strongest visual landmark. In the series, it became the Great Sept of Baelor, giving the location a major role in the world of King’s Landing.
You will learn how the real building was presented on screen and where key scenes were framed. The cathedral is also a fine example of why location tours can add something to a normal city visit. Even if you already know the building, the television connection changes the way you look at its steps, façade, and setting.
This stop is viewed from the walking route, and entrance tickets are not included. The tour information does not promise entry into any site, so you should not book it expecting an interior cathedral visit. The main value comes from the exterior setting, the production images, and the guide’s explanation.
Other filming corners and photo spots
The route continues through additional streets and corners connected with the series. The guide uses images and videos to show where scenes were shot, including details that can be difficult to spot without help.
These stops are especially useful for people who want photographs that match the show. You can frame your own image beside the guide’s production picture and see how much of the original setting remains visible.
The tour also gives you a chance to learn about filming days in Girona. David has been praised for sharing details about local people involved in the production, while other guides have added personal observations about how the shoot affected the city. These details give the experience a more human feel than a list of episode references.
The guides shape the experience

The strongest part of this tour is the guide. Dani receives repeated praise for his energy, humor, punctuality, and ability to make both Girona and the series interesting. Jordi is also described as friendly, lively, and well prepared, while David has been praised for showing clips at the exact locations and explaining production details.
One useful feature is the guide’s ability to adjust to the group. A family with small children was given a patient pace, and an older guest who was not a Game of Thrones fan still enjoyed the tour. Several people who had not watched the series found the local history and filming process interesting enough to carry the experience.
That flexibility matters because this is not only a fan convention in walking-tour form. If your group includes one devoted fan and several people who know little about the show, the guide can use Girona itself to keep everyone involved.
You may also receive more time than the advertised hour if the group is small. Some departures have effectively become private tours when only one party booked. That is not something to count on, but a small group can make it easier to ask questions and take photos.
The guides speak English, Portuguese, Spanish, and Catalan. Some material is shown in its original language, so you may hear or see clips as they appeared in the series rather than fully adapted versions.
What the $33 price buys you
At $33 per person, this is not the cheapest way to walk around Girona. Yet the comparison depends on what you want from the hour.
The fee includes an experienced local guide and the specialized material used to explain the filming locations. You are paying for route planning, scene knowledge, visual references, and stories that would be difficult to assemble on your own. If you tried to find every location independently, you might see the streets but miss the exact connections between them.
The value is strongest for fans who want a concentrated experience. You can cover the major Game of Thrones spots without spending half a day on a general city tour. If your schedule is tight, the short format may be worth more than a longer excursion that includes sights you have already seen.
The value is weaker if you want to enter monuments or spend time learning about Girona beyond the series. Tickets are not included, and neither are food or drinks. This is a guided walk, not a combined attraction ticket.
One small practical point comes from the visual material. The guide’s binder and printed images are helpful, though one person wished the photographs had been printed at a higher resolution. That does not remove their usefulness, but you should expect working comparison sheets rather than a glossy production book.
How to make the most of the hour
I would watch at least some of the Girona episodes before booking, especially the Braavos and King’s Landing scenes. You do not need to become an expert, but recognizing Arya’s storyline and the Great Sept scenes will make the stops more rewarding.
If you have not watched Game of Thrones, you can still enjoy the tour. The streets, cathedral, and production process provide enough interest on their own. Just know that some references will have more force for fans who remember the characters and scenes.
Arrive ready to walk through the old part of Girona. The tour involves city streets and filming locations, so comfortable footwear is a sensible choice. The provided information does not give a full accessibility description, so if stairs or uneven historic streets are a concern, contact the provider before booking.
Bring a phone or camera. The tour is built around visual comparison, and the city offers several useful photo angles. Still, listen before stopping for pictures. With only an hour, the group needs to keep moving.
Rain has a clear backup meeting arrangement beside Konig’s Restaurant, but the tour’s general weather policy is not specified. If the forecast looks poor, confirm the departure details before you go.
Who should book this Girona tour?
This is best for:
- Game of Thrones fans who want the filming locations without a long general tour
- Visitors with only one spare hour in Girona
- Couples or families with mixed interest in the series
- People who enjoy seeing real places compared with screen scenes
- Repeat visitors who want a fresh reason to walk Girona’s old town
- Anyone who likes local stories alongside film trivia
I would be more cautious if you want a slow architectural tour, a cathedral interior visit, or a full introduction to Girona. The tour gives you selected local context, but it does not promise a broad survey of the city.
It is also worth considering your group’s pace. The one-hour plan is efficient, and that means some stops may feel quick. Families with children can still manage it, particularly with a patient guide, but you should not expect long breaks.
Booking, cancellation, and languages

You can reserve now and pay later, which helps if your Girona schedule is still shifting. Free cancellation is available up to 24 hours in advance for a full refund.
The guide may conduct the tour in English, Portuguese, Spanish, or Catalan. The exact language depends on the departure you choose, so check it when selecting a time. Some clips or other material may remain in their original language.
The meeting point is next to the monument in the square. In wet weather, use the area beside Konig’s Restaurant. The duration is one hour, and available starting times should be checked when you book.
Should you book it?
Book this tour if you want a fast, focused Game of Thrones walk with strong visual aids and a friendly local guide. The best part is not simply reaching the filming spots. It is seeing the real Girona street beside the finished scene and understanding how the production used the city.
I would especially recommend it to fans with limited time, and to groups where only some people watch the show. Dani, Jordi, David, and Eduardo David have shown that the experience can work for curious newcomers as well as serious fans.
Skip it if you want extensive sightseeing, interior visits, or a relaxed half-day tour. At $33, the price makes the most sense when you value the specialist route and the guide’s scene-by-scene explanations. For the right audience, one hour is enough to give Girona a whole new fictional identity.
