    A Tarragona History Tour

    "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. "

    Lovely afternoon in Tarragona & Pinedes

    "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!"

    Daytrip to Tarragona

    "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 :)"

    Memorable tour to Tarragona

    "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."

    Amazing local guide

    "Antonios is one of the best tour guides I've ever traveled with. He made our schedule super flexible and tried to meet our needs by changing the sequence of destination and adjusting the time spent on one site. He's also very knowledgeable and passionate about the trips he offers. We talked a lot about the history of Tarragona from Roman times to recent years, and his interesting facts and stories always made us want more. He also gave us many valuable suggestions about traveling to other cities (more than 10) in Spain. I would definitely recommend Antonio to anyone who's eager to find a bit more behind the tourist cities and sites around Barcelona. "

    One of our BEST days in Spain!

    "This was our first experience “With Locals” and we hope it won’t be our last. Antonio was fabulous! A wealth of information about Tarragona and the culture of Spain in general. Tarragona is a beautiful well-preserved ancient Roman city. Antonio graciously stopped a chocolate factory on the way to Tarragona and at a seaside restaurant on the way back to Barcelona. For a truly authentic and informed tour, seek out Antonio!!! Much thanks to him and With Locals for providing such a valued tour!!"

    Incredible Tarragona trip

    "Out family of four went on a tour in Antonio's car to Tarragona. Antonio was there to pick us up exactly on time. He is so personable and full of knowledge and like a good friend we had in Spain. He was very flexible and always kept our interests and our choices ahead of everything. He showed us and explained us about the amazing Roman amphitheater, the horse racing circus, the beautiful old town, the Jewish quarters and the city walls. For lunch he took us to this amazing Spanish buffet restaurant which was one of the best buffets I have ever eaten; apart from countless food choices there were also some meats and seafood grilled in front of you and served. Worth every euro spent. Next he took us to the gorgeous coastal town of Sitges. We walked around among hundreds of years old structures and had coffee at a nice little cafe. He was very accommodating when we needed time to shop, he also went ahead and got his car to us so we didn't have to walk all the way back to the car park. I highly recommend choosing Antonio as your tour guide if you have to visit any part in and around Barcelona."
