The experience

The tour starts at 8:45am at the office next to the Palau de la Música in Barcelona, where you'll meet your guide and have time for coffee before the 9am departure. The drive to Girona takes an hour through the Eixample district, and your guide uses that time to give you context about Barcelona and Catalonia before you arrive at the medieval town itself.

Once in Girona, you follow the trail of characters like Arya, Jaime, and Margaery Tyrell through the show's key filming locations. Your guide brings production photos to each site, showing you what it took to film the scenes you recognize. You'll wander Girona's medieval alleys and Jewish neighborhood on your own for a stretch, then regroup with the guide before heading to lunch. The ice cream stop (a popsicle shaped like Ser Jaime's golden hand) happens during the Girona portion of the day.

Lunch is in Blanes, a coastal town known as the Gateway to the Costa Brava. A family-run restaurant welcomes the group with homemade sangria, followed by a spread of local starters, mains and dessert. After eating, you visit a medieval castle nearby that dates back to the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. The structures that remain show how imposing the fortress once was, and you have free time to explore before the drive back to Barcelona, arriving around 5:30pm at Plaça Catalunya.
