Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"Trip was great! - Host Antonio had good knowledge about the local places and history, was able to fit in everything we wanted to do. I do suggest if there's 2+ people on the trip, not to go in the Citroen cabriolet without the bonnet as it's way too windy in the backseat on the motorway. (would be perfect for around the city though) Was really good to get out of the city and see some of the countryside - Thanks Antonio :)"
"Antonio went above and beyond my expectations, he is very intelligent, and knows his business, also he is a very caring person, easy going and respectful. "
"We had a wonderful day with Antonio. We saw Roman ruins in Sitges which was a nice little beach town. Antonio then brought us to Tarragona where we saw more ruins. We walked through the most interesting areas in both towns where we could appreciate the unique character of each location. Then we enjoyed a typical lunch and later we arranged with Antonio to visit a wonderful winery where we enjoyed a wine tasting experience. It was a long and great day. My hat is off to Antonio who was both knowledgeable and pleasant to spend an entire day with."
"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. "

"Antonio was very knowledgeable and provided us with information that you wouldn't get on a regular tour. This helped deepen our appreciation of the history and culture of the area. Also, having a personal tour allowed us to focus on the things that were of particular interest to us. We highly recommend Antonio."
"Antonio was very kind to accommodate our request to begin our tour at 7:00 AM as we had other tours scheduled in the afternoon. When confirming our reservation, he stated his preference for starting later. Given our schedule we were committed to the early departure. Antonio was a little late when picking us up and it took him a while to \"wake up\". After coffee and a pastry, he was informative and accommodating (he really worked hard to make the experience enjoyable for us). He showed us the locations of many Roman ruins in Tarragona, pointed out places of interest in the city, and took us to Stiges for lunch on the beach. We had an amazing day. "
"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 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!"
"We were very interested in seeing the Roman ruins in Tarragona, and booked a day trip with Antonio. He picked us up on time at our Barcelona hotel, and our Tarragona tour turned out to be the highlight of our 10-day visit to Barcelona and area. Antonio is a safe driver with a keen interest in the area and its history and a willingness to cater the tour to our interests. Roman highlights of Tarragona include the Roman arch, quarry, amphitheatre (a must-see), circus/museum and theatre, and a beautiful walk beside the City walls. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Antonio - if you let him know what your specific interests are, he will make sure the tour is tailored to them."
"Antonio was our tour guide when we went to Tarragona. It was excellent trip and Antonio showed us the bright side of the city, explained us the history of the city and much much more. We had a good conversation during the trip. We really appreciated Antonio for this tour."
