Overview

This tour will give you an idea of the glorious civilisations around the Mediterranean Sea since Phoenician times til nowadays. Get an idea of ancient Roman capital Tarraco and enjoy the trendy beach town of Sitges on the way back.

We walk along the seafront to the amphitheatre, then we walk to the circus, the forum and the cathedral.

We enter Santa Tecla cathedral, a masterpiece of gothic architecture built on top of the foundations of a Roman temple. After the visit, we can stay in the area for a yummy lunch in the centre of town.

Andre was a wealth of knowledge about everything we saw. He was timely, attentive and clearly enjoyed the history of the area. Sitges was beautiful but the weather was not warm enough for a swim. Tarragona had a wealth of history and we greatly enjoyed the stadium and the circus.

This tour is run by a group called Out of Barcelona and our guide was able the show us a good time despite all the problems our situation put on the event. Because we ended up having to have this tour on Easter monday some of the usal stops were closed. However he was still able to get us good views and insights of these sights. He was also vary receptive to our situation and adapted accordingly. Partly because we did ended up booking the tour the evening before he did end up calling us a little late that night to confirm details and that we wanted to go through with the event despite the challenges the day would present.

Wonderful trip and guide. Andre is extremely knowledgeable and very passionate about Catalan culture. Highly recommended to anyone interested in learning the history of the incredible, ancient city of Tarragona from of Roman > Middle Ages > to modern times. The charming, nearby city of Sitges was also very interesting to visit.

I would highly recommend that anyone staying in Barcelona for more than a couple days takes advantage of this amazing day trip to Sitges and Tarragona. Both cities offer unique experiences, and Andre is an incredible person to have lead you on the way. He was very flexible when a member of our group didn’t feel well to start the day, and we pivoted to Sitges before Tarragona. We had a great time grabbing some coffee and food, relaxing on the beach, and checking out the local shops. We were then ready to explore in the afternoon, and the history and culture of Tarragona did not disappoint. From the Roman bridge outside of town to the ruins within, as well as the cathedral and all of its history, Tarragona was a incredible experience. All of that was made demonstrably richer by Andre’s immense knowledge of both local historical details and overarching historical themes. I would not do this trip with any other tour guide - to do so would be to lose much if the value of this trip. Our group had a wonderful time, we learned a lot, and I sincerely hope to take another day trip with Andre in the future.

The whole day private drive/walking tour, from Barcelona, was fully covered by guide, Andre, who detailed the history of the Roman legacy in Terragona, Spain, with good knowledge and enthusiasm! It was well paced, and included Sitges beach town on the way back to Barcelona. It was great that Andre went the extra mile to answer our varied questions and capture our attention. Keep it up!

We had a great day with our personal service with Andre and we booked another. Car is clean and he is extremely knowledgeable about all things outside of Barcelona. Also multi-lingual and shared views on books and philosophy to boot! Also, Terragona is absolutely perfect and not crowded.
