This was a great tour of Tarragona to see the ancient ruins. I’m always interested in history and Eli was the expert! She knows the architecture, culture, people, food, geography, and everything else! She made our trip interesting and so easy because she took care of us, every step of the way. Eli will accommodate you according to your interests. It was an awesome day, so the 7.5 hours went by so fast! We highly recommend Eli if you are thinking about visiting Tarragona. Her English is great and we learned so much about the Roman influence in this area of Spain. With the spectacular views and the Roman structures, we came home with many great photos.

Nous remercions notre guide qui a été très agréable et compréhensive durant toute l'excursion. Nous avons découvert la ville de Tarragone que nous revisiterons surement.
