Gigi was a very friendly and knowledgable guide who showed us all the places we needed to see visiting Tarragona's old town and added other things we would never have found on our own. She was very generous with her time and helped make our day special and memorable. Her English presentation was excellent and we'd recommend this tour to anyone visiting Tarragona.
