Luis was extremely knowledgeable during our time at the Dali Museum. I’m absolutely blown away. His driving was great as well as his knowledge in Girona. He was a great person to spend the day with.

Itinerary
Your private guide will pick you up at your hotel or apartment in Barcelona. Please make sure to give us your exact address when booking. On the way north, your guide will introduce you to the history of Girona, which goes back to Roman times.
Begin the day in Girona’s old town, a city of stone streets, steep stairways and quiet squares where Roman walls, medieval buildings and modern life sit side by side. Its timeless atmosphere even made it a filming location for Game of Thrones.
Look up at Girona Cathedral, rising above a grand Baroque stairway. Built over many centuries, it combines a Romanesque cloister with Gothic and Baroque elements, and its nave, around 23 metres across, is the widest Gothic nave in the world.
Stroll through El Call, a maze of narrow lanes, stairways and hidden courtyards where a thriving Jewish community lived for centuries. Today it is one of the best-preserved Jewish quarters in Europe.
Cross the red iron bridge designed by Gustave Eiffel in 1877, whose modern lines stand out against the old stone buildings of the city.
Admire Girona’s most famous view: the houses painted in warm colours along the Onyar River, reflected in the water below.
After visiting Girona, we will get back on the road to reach Dali's birthplace: Figueres, a small town near the border of France. Follow the artits' footsteps through the streets and corners that marked Dali's early years.
In Figueres, Dali left his marks in his own museum, built upon the ruins of the old municipal theatre. The building is considered as the largest work of surrealist art in the world. Plunge deep into the painter's creative mind by visiting the museum and experiencing a comprehensive collection of the peculiar exhibitions. Get prepared to be amazed by this inspiring piece of art, that definitley will mark your day.
End your visit at Dalí Jewels, a permanent exhibition of the jewels Dalí designed in gold and precious stones, displayed alongside the original drawings he made for each piece.

We had a fantastic day exploring Figueres and Girona with Luis! Our private tour began with a drive from Barcelona to the Salvador Dalí Theatre-Museum in Figueres, where Luis absolutely blew us away with his incredible knowledge of Dalí, his artwork, and the history behind it all. His depth of knowledge and enthusiasm made the museum experience so much more meaningful. We then traveled to beautiful Girona, where Luis guided us through the historic city, sharing fascinating stories about its architecture, landmarks, and history. He was personable, engaging, and thoughtful throughout the entire day, even taking lots of wonderful group photos so we could all be in the pictures together! Luis made the entire experience feel relaxed, personal, and memorable. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable and engaging guide who truly brings art and history to life, I highly recommend booking with Luis!
Great way to spend the day! Staying in Barcelona it was so nice to escape for a day and explore the Dalí museum and Girona. Luis knows his stuff!! Kind and considerate, it was the perfect way to wrap up our week here.
We had an absolutely fantastic day with Luis as our private guide exploring the Dalí Museum in Figueres and the beautiful city of Girona. Luis was exceptional from start to finish. His knowledge of the history, art, culture, and local area was incredible, but what really made the day special was his personality, patience, and genuine passion for what he does. He had a wonderful way of bringing everything to life, sharing fascinating stories and insights that we would never have discovered on our own. He was incredibly patient, never rushed us, and made sure we could enjoy everything at our own pace. It’s one thing to have a guide who knows their stuff, but quite another to have someone who makes the entire experience feel relaxed, personal, and genuinely enjoyable. Luis absolutely delivered on both. If you’re considering a private tour of the Dalí Museum and Girona, I cannot recommend Luis highly enough. A brilliant guide, a wonderful person, and one of the highlights of our time in Spain!
Noelia was fantastic! We spent a very nice day traveling to Girona and the Dali Museum. Without Noelia we would not understand Dali’s work of art and his life at all. She was very informative. We enjoyed a nice lunch and the weather was perfect. She introduced us to Xuxoa which was quite delicious. We would have never tried without her suggestion. Thank you for a wonderful day!
Noelia was very friendly and knowledgeable about the history of Dali and his life, work, and museum, as well as Figueres and Girona. She was an excellent driver also. Helped us choose a very nice place for lunch. I highly recommend her and this tour.
Fantastic day trip out of Barcelona. Once in a lifetime chance to see the Dali museum and it didn't disappoint. Our guide Noelia, a real Catalan, told us many interesting things about the art and about the man and was obviously very passionate about it. We then went to Girona, saw the amazing cathedral and walked around the old city and the wall, and enjoyed the xuixo. Noelia catered the tour to our interests, which we really appreciated. Super convenient pick up and drop off right at our stay too. Great!
Noelia took us on a tour of Salvador Dali’s museum/theater. The tour was the highlight of our trip. She was extremely knowledgeable with Dali’s life and art work. It felt like she knew him personally. We didn’t want the tour to end.
Nuria was one of the best guides we have used in the past 7 years of European travel. She paid attention to our interests and needs. Her knowledge was helpful. It is obvious she enjoys her job. She represented Spain very well and was very interesting. We had an excellent day in Girona and Figueres. She is exactly why we pay for private tours!
We had a great experience with Noelia on our 10 hour tour of Girona & Figueres. She picked us up on time at our hotel. Upon arrival, Noelia began by explaining the relevance of the day we had chosen for our tour: Catalan Independence Day. Then, per our request, she gave a very specific accounting of the times and tribulations of those living in the Old Town Jewish Quarter. After spending a perfect amount of time touring, we sat for coffee at an outdoor cafe in Independence Square, before driving in her clean, comfortable van to Figueres. Noelia clearly has a love of all things Dali, and succeeded in getting us to love his love story with Gali, his muse. The 2.5 hours we spent at the Dali Museum flew by. Every question we had was thoroughly and thoughtfully answered. We saw things in Dali’s art that we never would have been privy to, had we tried to tour on our own. We would highly recommend this tour to everyone staying in Barcelona who would like to experience an easy drive and a deep dive into Dali. Written by Lauren-not AI!
We had a private tour to Girona and Dalí museum, Our guide Chema was fantastic, very kind and very knowledgeable and we had great time together
We had a great day trip from Barcelona to see Girona and Figueres with Dali Museum. Our tour guide Hengameh was extremely knowledgeable about both the city of Girona and the Dali Museum. The tour was very interesting and we enjoyed visiting both locations as well as lunch at a restaurant Hengameh recommended. Hengameh also took great family pictures for us. Our driver Roger was also very good - not only he drove us safely but he also offered us cold water and snacks. We had a wonderful day, thanks Hengameh and Roger!
Amazing tour. We had Alfredo as driver. We had Hengameh as guide. Knowledgeable, kept things interesting. Loved Girona and Dali museum. Highly recommend
The trip was absolutely amazing, filled with incredible experiences and unforgettable moments. What made it even more special was the guide, who did an outstanding job of explaining everything in a clear and engaging way. Her knowledge and expertise were evident, but what truly stood out was her passion. You could feel how much she genuinely enjoyed sharing the history, culture, and beauty of the place with us. She made every story come alive and every detail feel important. Her enthusiasm was contagious, and it added so much value to the entire experience. Truly unforgettable!
Today we took a tour with Marcelo. He was extremely knowledgeable about Dali and the museum, and clearly passionate about the art. He seemed to be the mayor of the town as everyone knew him and liked him. We were also given great local recommendations. Highly recommend!
This is my first trip to Barcelona and I absolutely love Dali! I was so excited to see the museum. Marcelo was the perfect tour guide. He was enthusiastic and very knowledgeable. I was excited to know he also loves Dali!
We had an amazing time with our tour guide! She was absolutely wonderful: knowledgeable, personable, and was more than willing to tailor the experience to our needs and wants. I would definitely hire her to take us on other tours!
We had a wonderful day with our guide Dulce and driver Albert. Girona was gorgeous and the Dali museum was truly special. Dulce made the experience memorable with so much relevant and interesting information. Highly recommended.
We had a great day visiting beautiful Girona and seeing the amazing Dali Museum. Our guide, Dulce was extremely knowledgeable and helpful and gave us a wonderful experience.
Marcelo is an excellent guide. Punctual, responsive, and excellent in customizing and planning for my solo private tour. He also has read up a lot about Dali and the special spots in the museum for a very informative and special visit, one that very likely I might have missed some key works especially the jewels. Good driver, fluent in English and great recommendations on seafood lunch and enjoying a great dessert in Girona at the plaza square. Scenic Santa Cristina drive. A beautiful trip.
Anatoli is a wealth of information on the Barcelona and Girona area. He provided us with a thoughtful background and key details that made our Dali tour much richer. My wife and I found him personable and easy going, willing to adapt the schedule to suit our needs.
Amazing full day tour of beautifully preserved historic town of Girona in the morning. Then an afternoon in Figueres with a visit to the unique Dali museum. Our guide Anatoli was very knowledgeable in both history and culture of the region as well as Dali and his art.
This is an amazing tour. Our tour guide Chema picked us up from our hotel and we drove us to Figueras for the Dali museum. He really knew his stuff about Dali(we only knew a few basics)and we got an amazing tour of the museum with a knowledgeable discussion about each piece in the museum. I was really impressed by the museum and the tour. You will never “get it” if you just look at the art and the title plaque, there’s just too much going on in these pieces. After the museum, our guide Chema found an amazing spot for lunch in Figueras & then we drove to Girona, which was actually a very nice town with a lot of interesting history. This tour is definitely worth it and a great day trip when you’re in Barcelona.
We travelled with Xavier, who is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about Catalunya. A perfect day filled with new information and beauty.
Our driver/guide Anatoli offered a wonderful experience during our day trip to Girona and Figueres, the latter for the Dalí Museum. He is very knowledgeable about Spanish history, Girona, and the work of Dalí. My wife and I came away with a new appreciation of Dalí's work, and Girona was one of the high points of our brief trip to Spain. Anatoli is an excellent guide.
Wonderful visit to Dali Museum and Girona with Anatoli! The museum itself is a very unique experience and Anatoli did a fabulous job explaining and teaching about Dali and his art. Girona visit was also very interesting.
Anatoli was amazing and very knowledgeable. We did not feel rushed and he showed us everything we wanted bye was funny and very respectful. He was amazing. I would want hom to be our guide anytime we are traveling.
Nuri was a terrific tour guide - knowledgeable, personable and delightful overall!!! This day trip to Girona and Figueres was wonderful and gave us a new appreciation for Dali as an artist. A wonderful activity while in Barcelona - highly recommend, especially with Nuri!
Excellent day with Anatoli, our guide! The day started out with a major rain storm traveling over 1 1/2 hours to our first stop at the Dali museum! First, I am thankful we made it alive. Our continued tour brought us to Girona where the skies opened to experience an overall amazing informative perfect day! Thank you!
Anatoli was incredible. We hired him again for a second day, and despite the torrential rain, he got us safely to the Dali Museum in Figueres and then to Girona. His knowledge of Dali easily surpassed what I learned in art school, he brought the artist’s work and mindset to life. Anatoli has been an absolute highlight of our trip, and thanks to him, we’ve enjoyed Barcelona so much more.
We had another fabulous tour with Anatoli today! He drove us very carefully under torrential rainy conditions this morning. We visited the Dali museum, and he gave us a fantastic tour of all the incredible artwork and jewelry there. When we left, the sun finally came out. We then visited the historical city of Girona in the afternoon, and he gave us a great walking tour there. We really saw a lot during our time in Barcelona and the surrounding areas for the two days we were there. Having Anatoli with us made it even more enjoyable!
We had a great day visiting the Dali museum and Girona. Our tour guide, Anatoli, is the best. Our visit to the museum was fantastic. He was so knowledgeable and passionate about Dali, that I am now a huge fan of Dali. Girona was beautiful. Anatoli’s walking tour was fantastic. This tour was one of the best tours I have taken.
Hengameh Ghanavati , private guide for my wife & I, to Figueres (Dali Museum) & Girona, was exceptional. She was knowledgeable, prepared & very well communicative. Most importantly she was attentive to our needs and paced the day perfectly. We highly recommend her and would call her again. Oh yeah, our driver, Augusto was a great guy! Thanks for a great day!
We had an amazing day with our guide Nuri seeing Girona and the Dali Museum. Nuri was great at explaining to us the history of these two spectacular places in Spain. We love history and art and spending the day at these locations was really special. Without a guide like Nuri the experience would not have been the same. Thank you Nuri for an very memorable day
Anatoli was a wonderful guide to Dali museum and Gerona. He went into historical detail very well and managed the tour to be at our own pace and preferences. Highly recommend him as your guide.
Nuri was an excellent guide. We really enjoyed our day with her. She was very well versed in the subject matter and was able to accommodate all of our needs. She has a great personality well suited to the job.
Excellent trip and driver ,our guide was very informed Her information made our experience a very memorable one Hengmeh , was very attentive throughout the day , I would highly recommend her .
My experience was amazing! Nuri who was the guide responsible for our tour to Salvador Dali Museum (Figueras) and Girona was very helpful, shared a lot of good information and all her knowledge. You could see the passion for she was doing in her eyes. Definitely the tour was 100% more fun because of her! Totally worth it the time and money spent, I fully recommend 😁 Adriana
Nuri was a great and knowledgeable guide. Amazing visiting Girona (must see) and the Dali Theatre Museum was extremely worth it! Top notch tour guide…strongly recommended!
Our tour guide Nuri and made us feel welcomed and we were given great recommendations of where to go, where to eat and things we should consider buying if we wanted souvenirs. This tour was useful and informative and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to visit Montserrat! Thank you Nuri!
We had the most wonderful full day tour with Nuri. She confirmed our tour the evening before and arrived to pick us up exactly as promised. She was an extremely warm and friendly person who made us feel completely at ease. Nuri was knowledgeable and shared interesting information with us on the drive from our accomodation to the Dalí Museum Figueres. She was considerate offering us coffee after the drive and sharing stories and an introduction to the area, the artist and the building followed by an excellent tour of the museum. We would never have found so much information or seen everything without her guidance. We shared a delicious lunch together and she helped us select some Catalan dishes and wine - just delicious and great company! Nuri took us to Girona and expertly guided us through a walking tour of the city providing excellent insights and interesting information about the history and culture of the area. An excellent day - Thankyou Nuri!
Nuri did a wonderful job showing us the highlights of both cities. Her explanations in the Dalí Museum were especially helpful. It was a fun way to spend a day.
Visiting Figures and touring Dali's Museum were a treat! Girona was an unexpected surprise! Our guide Nuri was a pleasure to spend the day with and was a fountain of information!!
Anatoli was VERY knowledgeable; enjoyed the drive and ALL information he shared; questions asked and answered We experienced the tour in English no problems understanding Dali Museum is a must Thank You! BTW 5 out of 5 Missed a button!!!
The trip was amazing. My wife and I had a wonderful day with Gaspar. He showed us the many great works of Dali but also had an amazing amount of knowledge about his life and times. Gaspar also made the trip special with his knowledge of local history. My wife and came away with a greater appreciation of the histories and customs of Catalonia and Spain. I would high recommend the tour.
Gaspar was an amazing guide. Kind and helpful and caring. He especially helped my elderly parents. Couldn’t be happier with the experience
Our guide, Dulce is extremely well informed and easy to talk with. From the moment she picked us up with our driver, Wander, we were impressed with her depth of knowledge in great detail about everything we saw from the history of the area to the specifics of Dali’s life. Many guides go through a rote performance of material they have memorized, but Dulce had actually lived in the areas and spoke from the heart. My wife and I bombarded her with questions and were astonished at her eagerness to answer and we could tell she actually hoped we would learn something from the trip rather than just go through the motions. Wander drove us safely and comfortably through the whole day. We knew we were in good hands and enjoyed every minute.
Never book a tour to Girona and Figueres with Marcelo. We booked via Get your Guide and first time it was so disappointed. The company does not provide all information and we just felt disappointed (not only us). There were more people among us as well. Firstly they forgot to mention that tour may be 10 hours in total but only after your complain and you pay 100 euro per person just for the transport. Marcelo sent us whatsapp message evening before the trip that we need to pay additional 17 euro per person for entering Salvador Dali museum. Plus he picked up all the people (8 of us from different hotels (4 couples) so we waited from 7.45 and due to traffic jam he was 20 mins late). It did not matter me at first as I understand traffic jam but noone said the tour will be just 2.5 hrs in Figueres and in Girona he wanted 1,5h and I said about 10 hrs of trip and he started not to be nice from then. Other couple said thank you for that i pointed it out as it looks we paid for transport only and trip would be like 4,5h in total. Rest is just being in van. Marcelo did not show us anything, he just mentioned 3 sentences in Dali museum and said we are meeting back in 2,5 hours. In Girona he went to information center, gave us maps and just went with us like 10 mins (including the time I was negotiating with him). He showed us nothing, said almost nothing and said what time we need to be back. He also talekd in Spanish with one Mexican couple who was in elderly age and did not want to be so long in a trip. So what was the point of booking the tour? I have been booking several tours in GyG and this company was the one that was the worst. The rest of tours were excellent. I also pointed out to the couple and Marcelo that it is not nice what they are talking about us (they thought I did not understand Spanish, they were surprised and they even did not say sorry). And yes Marcelo your attitude and no even simple sorry made me spent this time and put the warning opinion to future customers not only on trip advisor as you mentioned in Spanish. I hope German girls with whom we were on the trip put honest correct as well. They can feel cheated as well as you said on whatsapp 17 eur per entrance and that was a reason why they skipped museum but in fact you did not charge anyone later. So they could enter and see Dali museum but due to your behavior and not clearly mention you will not charge additional fees they did not. Please avoid this company if you can, at least contact them and ask who will be your guide and confirm this person will be a guide and not only a driver. Confirm timing as well so that you will not be cheated.
Great tour! We learned so much about Dali, his life, and his muse, Gala. Then we spent the afternoon touring Girona with a guide who actually lives there. Her recommendations on lunch, coffee, snacks were wonderful too. We had a very enjoyable visit.
Miguel was a fantastic tour guide. Great humor and provided a safe driving experience. He had a great command of the covered material and conveyed a great joy in presenting it.
