Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"Antonio was the perfect guide four our day trip to Tarragona. We could tell he takes a lot a pride in the history of this region. We made a few side trips to sites that many just pass without knowing the full extent of their importance. We learned so much about the Roman Empire history and toured the ruins around the city; even the hidden ones. He also recommended an amazing spot for lunch on the drive back in a city on the coast where he spent time as a youth. It was one of the best meals so far on our trip. We would definitely recommend any tours with Antonio and he has many options. "
"Antonio brought our family on a lovely day long adventure to Tarragona & Pinedes. Our first stop at the Simon Coll chocolate factory was a big hit with our daughters. Tarragona is a beautiful seaside town with amazing Roman ruins. Then we had a lovely lunch in Villafranca before finishing the day at the excellent Pares Balta winery. Antonio was engaging and made great conversation the whole day. Highly recommend!"
"Antonio was an excellent guide. He picked us up in a comfortable vehicle and tailored the tour to everything we wanted to see. Very knowledgeable about the history of each place we visited and flexible with timing. "

"Antonio provided a tour that included a peek at Roman history in Taragona and the surrounding area that we could not have found or appreciated on our own. We stopped at a a Roman Arch and a quarry outside of Tarragona that few tourist would know about. We were guided to a lovely lunch with fresh fish (more expensive than we would have preferred), but with outdoor seating. The lunch added a lot to the cost of the tour. "
"Well what a great day we had with Antonio he picked us up from our hotel and we spent the day in Tarragona 1.5 hrs from Barcelona. Antonio was well informed on this area and took us to many old Roman tunnels, old water viaduct and many other Roman places. We had lunch in the old square near the town hall and then traveled along the coastal road stopping very now and then. Margaret and I had a great time with Antonio and hope to meet up again when we visit Barcelona again. Well done Antonio "
"We took Antonio’s day tour to Tarragona from Barcelona. He agreed to meet us at 10:00 rather than 9:00 in the morning which was a good thing because our flight from Lisbon to Barcelona was late and we didn’t get to our hotel until about 2:30 in the morning. Antonio picked us up promptly at 10:00 at our hotel and we started our drive and tour to Tarragona. We found Antonio to be extremely knowledgeable and had lots of interesting facts about thing we were seeing. We stopped at several old Roman ruins on the way to Tarragona which we found to be very interesting. Since my wife had a few mobility problems Antonio modified our tour accommodate our needs. We had a wonderful lunch with Antonio and during lunch we decided that we would like to visit a winery and do a tasting of Spanish wines. He was very accommodating and arranged it on the spot. We stopped at a wonderful organic winery on the way back to Barcelona. He returned us to our hotel about 7:30 that evening. All in all we had a great day with Antonio, his English was excellent and we would recommend him highly to anybody. "
"Antonio was great! He gave us a tour all in English and it made the experience that much better! He was knowledgeable, helpful, and a very wonderful tour guide! You will enjoy his company during the trip to all the great features of Tarragona!"
"Antonio was great. He oicked us up in front of our hotel on time. We stopped in two towns on the way to Tarragona. He shared a lot of information about the area, economic, pilitical and cultural. We also had a great history lesson as we saw many Roman and Midieval ruins in Terragona. We also visited a winery on our return to Barcelona. It was very informative and the wine was great. Great job Antonio. "
"Many thanks Antonio for a great day out in Tarragona and Sitger. Very relaxed pace and beautiful weather made for a perfect day in this beautiful part of the world. Cheers, Steve"
"Antonio is a very nice guy who showed us the beautiful surroundings of Barcelona. He picked us up in his comfortable car and drove us along the coast, meanwhile telling us everything about Barcelona and it's outskirts. It is nice to leave the city and see some of the beautiful places near Barcelona. I really enjoyed it, very recommendable!"
