WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1.
Start this tour directly from your hotel or apartment in Barcelona city. We come to pick you up, so please be sure to let us know exactly where you are staying. Enjoy an overview of Barcelona city along the route, pass by Catalunya Square, Barcelona Cathedral, Passeig de Gracia and the Gaudi Houses, such as the Batllo and the Pedrera, and many other highlights.
2.
Get on the road to head to Tarragona, a beautiful secret of the Mediterranean Coast. Tarragona is home to one of the most important and best preserved Roman archeological sites of the country, declared as World Heritage Site of UNESCO. Discover the many well preserved remains of this civilization in a walking tour of the Old Town with an expert and passionate guide. Before entering the city, get amazed by the ingenuous construction of the Devil’s Bridge. This aqueduct of 711 feet (217 meters) long and 85 feet (26 meters) high, is a spectacular example of the advanced Roman engineering. The Devil’s Bridge provided Tarragona with water right up until the 18th century. Take amazing pictures of this ancient bridge surrounded by woodlands.
3.
Start a walking tour through the old town of the city and let yourself go through a labyrinth of narrow cobbled streets and shady squares. Soak up the atmosphere and imagine what it must have felt like to live here during the middle ages or the Roman Empire times.
4.
Get the chance to get inside of the amphitheatre of Tarragona, the 13th UNESCO listed Roman remains. The amphitheater was cut into the hillside leading up from the beach at the start of the second century AD and used to stage Gladiator contests and public executions.
5.
You will see the Roman walls of the city, the oldest construction of the Roman Tarragona since they go back to the foundation of the initial military camp or the immediately later period.
6.
Have a look to the Cathedral, declared a National Monument and a Cultural Good of National Interest.
7.
Pass by a surprising monument of Castellers and learn from your passionate guide about this typical Catalan tradition of a human tower building. This massive creation, formed by a total of 219 figures, is 11 meters high and weighs about 12 tons. A must-see while being in Tarragona.
8.
This basic but beautiful stop is fundamental to understanding Tarragona. The main market, Mercat Central, is located just off Rambla Nova and is housed in a Modernist hallmark building of 1915. This is where the heartbeat of the city lies and where to find fresh and seasonal products of the nearby rural area.
9.
Pass in front of the National Archaeological Museum of Tarragona, a public museum with elements and remains of its rich past. It promotes the recovery, conservation, research and dissemination of heritage from the Roman city of Tarraco and its area of influence. Listen to your guide to find out interesting stories of the Roman civilization.
10.
Understand the urban development of Tarragona through the Tarraco Model in front of the museum: a magnificent scale model of Tarraco of the 2nd century BC, in its period of maximum splendor.
11.
Once in Sitges, enjoy a walking tour through the streets and most hidden corners of its historical center. Discover examples of architectural modernism like Casa Bacardi and get to know about the history of the Bacardi family. If you wish, take the time to sip a refreshing cocktail made by the hand of professional barmen and have a look at the secrets of the art of melting different flavors into colorful and tasty drinks. On sunny days, you can either take the time to relax and take a dip into the clear waters of the San Sebastian beach, known as one of the best urban beaches in Europe.

We went today 6/26/24. I highly recommend this tour. It was amazing to see Tarragona with its rich history and the beautiful city of Sitges. This trip was a good balance of history, short hike to see the 2000 yr old aqueduct and relaxation in the beach town. Our private guide was Teo. We were able to enjoy some time at the beach. Teo was an amazing guide,; very knowledgeable, funny, and attentive to our needs. He took great photos of us as well. He was able to relate well with my kids in their 20’s and we had an amazing trip. I highly recommend him and the tours they offer.
Thank you.

Love the history of this area. Roman empire, medieval times, old buildings, city walls, stone quarry and aqueduct. Miguel was very knowledgeable about the sights we saw. He was very consider of making sure we knew the schedule, ie where the next stop was, when we would arrive, bathroom breaks and such. I would highly recommend this tour.
