The tour guide told us a lot of interesting facts about the architectural aspects in and surrounding Tarragona - As part of our holiday in Spain, we were in Catalonia for a few days and I am glad to have opted to take this tour, as I am interested in knowing more about ancient empires. It was nice to have an experience of Tarragona’s rich history and see it's natural beauty.
