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. "
"Tarragona is a beautiful city with a fascinating history. Antonio is a life-long local with great insider tips and interesting information on the area's history and culture."
"Disfrutamos mucho del tour, Antonio ha sido muy amable y nos ha explicado muchos detalles, 100% recomendable. Además nos recomendó un excelente sitio para comer con platillos tradicionales."

" We took a tour with Antonio and Terragona he was an excellent guide knew a lot of history and a lot about the town as well as Barcelona he has been doing this for many years and we appreciated his insight, hospitality, and knowledge -- please ask for an Antonio as a guide he is incredibly smart and well spoken and will show you an amazing part of his country ."
"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. "
"I requested a personalized tour to go to Poblet monastery and Tarragona. Although Poblet is not one of Antonio’s usual destinations, he got back to me about the cost and scope of what could be done to see both destinations in a day tour. We followed a Spanish language guided tour at the monastery, and then Antonio acted as our guide at the Roman ruins in Tarragona. With ANTONIO we were able to quickly navigate the ruins, spending time in areas that were most interesting to us and driving by areas we didn’t want to walk through. ANTONIO was very flexible in terms of giving us detailed explanations where we needed it (the ruins) and free time to walk around and see the cathedral and medieval town on our own. ANTONIO is an excellent driver, and it was nice to travel by air conditioned car between destinations. "
"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. "
