The experience

What does Girona taste like? This evening tour answers that by walking you through the old city's charming eateries and shops, stopping to taste what locals actually eat: cold meats and cheeses from small suppliers, fresh anchovies, canelons, and the iconic xuixo pastry that the city is known for. A local foodie guide leads the way, moving through neighborhoods at a pace that lets you linger over each tasting rather than rush through a checklist.

The route crosses the river at its most iconic bridge, passes through La Rambla and several of the old city's key squares, each one paired with a tasting that belongs there. You'll try creations from the Roca Brothers' influence on the local scene, learn why certain products matter to Girona's food culture, and hear stories about the city's restaurant openings and the legends tied to its public spaces. The evening wraps up in a local tavern where you experience Girona's tapas and nightlife firsthand, with drinks and a final sweet tasting to close the night.

Groups stay small and intimate, which means you're not following a flag through crowds. Bottled water is included throughout, and children from age 5 can join. Those under 18 get non-alcoholic drinks instead. If you want to buy anything extra along the way, you can. Otherwise, all the tastings and dinner are covered in the price.
