This tour exceeded all our expectations. The locations are wonderful, and our guide, Eduardo, recommended the best spots. I would do it again without a doubt.
Eduardo was Amazing! I took my mom on the tour who has mobility issues walking we had a travel scooter and Eduardo personalized the trip so my mom was able to see all sights without all the stairs. He made this trip very special and treated us like his family! Thank you for a memorable and blessed trip!
We had a wonderful day with our guide, Ramon visiting Tarragona and Sitges. He was knowledgeable and provided great information throughout the tour, while also being very accommodating and flexible. We especially appreciated that he gave us time to explore on our own and enjoy special moments together as a family, rather than making us feel rushed. He offered just the right amount of structure to keep us on schedule while still allowing us to relax and enjoy each destination at our own pace. He was pleasant to be around, and despite spending 10 hours together on a private tour, the day felt both enjoyable and effortless. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a personalized and relaxing experience.
My daughter and I had a wonderful time with Adele and Agosto. After a smooth pickup at our hotel, we were driven to Tarragona to see the aquaduct (my favorite!), and the Roman circus/arena by the sea. On the way back we went to Sitges for lunch and some beach time. The thing that really stood out for me was how this tour made the day so much more accessible for me, in a way that let me decide at every point what I felt comfortable doing. I have bad knees and though I can walk and climb a few stairs slowly, a typical "walking tour" is not an option for me. I wanted to see everything within my ability without overdoing it. Sometimes when you're disabled people start making choices for you, but this team was the opposite. I always felt like it was up to me how far I went and what I wanted to do. With a separate guide and driver, drop offs and pick ups were always in the most convenient place, (not the place with the parking). I appreciated the separate stop between the drive and the town to use the restroom and buy a coffee. After sightseeing, Adele called around and found a restaurant with good gluten-free options. Adele speaks really good English, so it was easy to understand her stories about the sights and know that she could understand what I needed. After a lovely time by the beach, we were driven back to Barcelona in air-conditioned comfort with bottled water provided. A beautiful day with a top notch tour.
Had a fantastic time with Eduardo. He gave us a walk through the history of tarragona and knew all the ins and outs of the town. He picked perfect spots to get great views and great shops and places to grab a treat. At stiges he helped us get the best bang for the buck on lunch and can tailor it to any budget. Then more incredible sights and views. Do not skip this tour and try and ask for Eduardo, you wont be disappointed
We had a great experience with Eduardo traveling to Tarragon and Sitges. He was very courteous and knowledgeable.
Lovely trip with excellent guide. If you want nice any cozy one-day trip away from Barcelona by all means take this one with In Out Barcelona Tours. Our guide Liana was superb, knowleadgeble, insightful and amazing. Highly recommend her.
This was the third day tour with In / Out while in Barcelona. The first 2 - 5 stars - (1) Montserrat and (2) Dali. This could have been equally great. But Diego our tour guide was terrible. My recommendation is to cancel and request a refund if Diego is your tour guide. He was more interested in telling us about himself and his life. The start was bad no other guide had a problem finding us and coordinating. He called and wanted another 30 minutes so he could figure out where to park and come get us. WTF. He took us on a nice detour overlooking the city but then it began. He walked around and smiling and telling how great it was. Yeah - but what about the history - what are we looking at. We pressed on - driving to tarragona. The speed limit was 120, he drove 75-80. And 1 1/2 trip morphed into 2 1 /4. He talked the whole time but not about the sights - but about him. We stopped at the aqueduct - finally. Did he prep us and discuss before we stopped - no. The whole day was a disaster. I expect it could have been great. The other private tours we took with this company were
It has been a very nice experience, although the rain on the way from Navarre to Tarragona allowed us to imagine that it would accompany us all day, it was not!, the days favored us with lots of sunshine and pleasant weather. Clean and beautiful beaches. Port Ventura Park and FerrariLand UUUUUF mega recommended if you like strong emotions and adrenaline. in Barcelona all very friendly people, clean beach and a Mood of happiness. Yes, of course I will, I loved the beaches and the city. Recommendations to visit Tarragona beach and Barceloneta, if you would like to have a place close to the water arrives very early because they take care. For a walk if you don't like the sweltering sun, be prepared with an umbrella or hat and water bottle.
Lluis was excellent, very informative, arrived early for pick up and was very happy to answer all our questions. Pointing out places of interest along the way. It would have helped if there had been a microphone in the car as Lluis is softly spoken. You will have an enjoyable tour if Lluis is your guide, i would highly recommend this tour.
