Girona is a perfect spot for short tours because its compact historic center and cinematic landscapes pack a punch in just an hour. Whether you’re a fan of Game of Thrones, craving a scenic boat ride, or eager to explore Salvador Dalí’s favorite town, Girona offers options that make the most of limited time. I personally love the Game of Thrones tours due to their focused storytelling and the chance to relive key series scenes in authentic locations. One tour (click here) stands out for its exclusivity, taking you straight to the filming spots without filler, while the other (click here) offers a more intimate, photo-rich experience. For those wanting a change of scenery, the Cadaqués trip (click here) combines a quick visit to Salvador Dalí’s town with a fascinating glass-bottomed boat tour of the coast.
In this list, you’ll find three distinctive 1-hour tours that cater to different interests—whether you love TV series, scenic vistas, or art-filled towns—each offering a memorable snapshot of Girona’s charm without taking up your whole day.
1. ONLY Game of Thrones Tour – All the spots in one hour
At number one, this exclusive Game of Thrones tour is designed for fans who want to see the key filming locations in Girona without wasting time on less relevant sights. The tour lasts about an hour and is led by Dani, a guide praised for his friendliness and deep knowledge—some reviews even call him “the star of the show.” The focus is squarely on the series, with visits to the actual spots used for scenes involving Braavos, the Sept of Baelor, and Arya’s wandering streets. Instead of a general city tour, this hits the highlights with images and videos, making it perfect for fans eager to see the real-life locations where their favorite scenes were shot.
What makes this tour shine is its specific focus on Game of Thrones, with no filler about Girona’s broader history or architecture. Dani’s engaging storytelling, combined with his use of photos to show scenes from the series, brings the locations to life. The reviews are glowing, with one describing it as, “a show with Dani as the star,” and another noting how he “went beyond the time allotted.” Priced at $32 per person, it offers excellent value for a dedicated fan tour.
Bottom line: If you’re a Game of Thrones enthusiast and want an insider look, this tour delivers a concentrated dose of series magic in a compact hour.
2. One Hour Game of Thrones Tour
Number two is an equally focused but slightly more intimate experience, priced at around $32.57 per person. This tour also zeroes in on the key filming locations of Braavos and Antigua, where Arya’s story unfolded in the TV series. It’s tailored for fans who want to walk through the actual TV sets and streets that appeared onscreen, with the guide showing photos that compare scenes from the series with the real locations.
This tour offers a straightforward, no-nonsense experience—walking through Girona’s narrow streets and visiting the spots where Arya asked for alms or where the Sept of Baelor was filmed. The reviews mention the guide’s timeliness, friendliness, and the fun atmosphere, with one noting, “Danny made it very interesting and enjoyable.” It’s ideal for visitors who want a compact, TV-focused experience without extra city sightseeing.
Value-wise, the tour’s price reflects its concentrated content, perfect for fans short on time but eager for full immersion. It’s also flexible and accessible, making it an excellent choice for casual fans or those with tight schedules.
Bottom line: If your main interest is walking in Arya Stark’s footsteps and exploring the series’ Girona filming locations, this tour hits the mark perfectly.
3. Cadaqués Tour 1 hour stop and Super Vision underwater
Third on our list is a completely different experience—a scenic trip to Cadaqués, Salvador Dalí’s beloved town, combined with a quick underwater adventure via glass-bottomed boat. It offers a 3.5-hour total experience, but the highlight for the hour is the stop in Cadaqués itself, where you can wander and soak in the atmosphere of Dalí’s inspiration.
The tour begins with a boat ride through the Cap de Creus Natural Park, where you’ll get a glimpse of stunning coastal cliffs and hidden coves. The Underwater Supervision is a unique highlight—using the glass-bottomed catamaran, you’ll see the seabed in a wild cove, making it ideal for curious kids and nature lovers alike. Afterward, the journey continues along the coast to Tamariu Cave before reaching Cadaqués, where you spend an hour exploring Salvador Dalí’s town, famous for its whitewashed buildings and artistic vibe.
This tour is best suited for travelers who love scenery and art in one quick trip, especially those interested in coastal landscapes or Dalí’s world. The price ($35.92) includes the boat ride and underwater view, offering good value for a multi-sensory experience. The only drawback is that it’s longer overall, so it’s better for travelers with a bit more time or those wanting a mix of scenery, art, and underwater explorations.
Bottom line: This tour is ideal if you want a scenic, artistic, and slightly adventurous 1-hour experience with a coastal twist.
How to Choose the Right Girona 1-Hour Tour
When deciding between these options, consider what interests you most. If you’re a Game of Thrones fan, the #1 or #2 tours are perfect—both focus on the same series but offer slightly different experiences in terms of guide style and itinerary focus. For a deeper, photo-rich walk through the series’ filming spots, the first tour might be your best fit, especially if you want to see the actual filming locations with a multimedia presentation. If you prefer a quick, immersive experience with a smaller group, the second tour is excellent.
If scenery and art are more your speed, or you’re traveling with family, the Cadaqués trip offers a beautiful coastal escape with underwater views and Dalí’s artistic town—perfect for those wanting a scenic, leisurely experience in just an hour of actual stop time (see details here).
In all cases, booking early is wise, especially in high season, to secure your preferred time slot and avoid missing out on these short but memorable tours.
Final Thoughts
Girona presents a surprisingly diverse range of 1-hour tours that are both practical and enjoyable. For TV fans, the Game of Thrones tours are hard to beat for their focus and storytelling. For those seeking natural beauty combined with art, the Cadaqués trip offers a scenic, relaxing ride with memorable sights. Whether you want to walk in Arya’s footsteps or explore Dalí’s coastal retreat, Girona’s quick tours deliver a concentrated taste of its many charms.
For most travelers, I recommend choosing a tour that matches your main interest—be it series fandom, scenic coastal views, or art. And remember, booking ahead ensures you won’t miss out on these short but sweet experiences. Enjoy your time in Girona—there’s more than enough to fill an hour, and often, it’s enough for a lifetime of memories.
