Itinerary
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Have a look to the Cathedral, declared a National Monument and a Cultural Good of National Interest.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Enjoy the view of the Mediterranean and if time allows, take a dip at one of the most famous beaches of Europe.
The main highlight of Sitges, the church of Sant Bartomeu & Santa Tecla is famous with its great view and photo spots. It was build back in 17th century and became a symbol of the city ever since.

Was called the night before for pickup instructions. On the day of pickup, was very punctual. Our tour guide Diego was very knowledgeable, our tour was in English but he also knows Spanish and Catalan. Very kind and warm, the tour felt very personal although it was a group tour, Diego went above and beyond navigating through places, giving us information of the sites and history. We even went inside a church at Terragona and one of the locals even gave Diego and us more info on they're small town and church history. The tour was definitely worth it. Will recommend to future travelers.
We had an absolutely wonderful experience! Our guide Diego, made this tour one of the highlights of our trip to Barcelona. From the very beginning, he was warm, engaging, and incredibly knowledgeable. He shared fascinating history and local stories in a way that kept both the adults and our son interested the entire time. He was patient, friendly, and made us feel like we were exploring with a local friend rather than just taking a tour. Thank you! We highly recommend this tour, and especially Diego as a tour guide, to anyone visiting Barcelona. It truly exceeded our expectations!
Wonderful tour. Our tour guide, Luis, was outstanding. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about the places we visited. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Barcelona. If you’re lucky enough to have Luis as your guide, you’re in for a fantastic experience!
Lluis quite knowledgeable, explain the history in Tarragona from Roman empire to Visigoth and Moors. Love history.
We were so fortunate to have Miguel as our tour guide. He was passionate, knowledgeable, and truly made our experience. One will remember for lifetime. His breath of knowledge and willingness to share and support our experience is one we will never forget. The small group and the opportunity to meet other travellers made the experience even that much better. Thanks Miguel!
The Roman ruins in Tarragona are absolutely stunning! Lluís is a wonderful guide, incredibly knowledgeable, warm and patient. He answered questions before I even had the chance to ask them. Sitges is a beautiful coastal town with a rich history. 10/10 recommend this tour with Lluís if you want to experience Catalonia through its fascinating history!
The guide was very knowledgeable and helped us understand the history culture tradition and pointed us to so many minute details in the city. Worth a visit for a day
I think the content is better and the price is more reasonable than other Japanese tours. My guide, Mikel, was friendly and entertaining. The fact that he talks to me was based on solid knowledge and cultural understanding, which was very interesting. My English skills are at a level where I speak at work to a certain extent or more, but I am not like a native speaker. I had done some preparation before I came, so it was easy to understand because of that. Hotel transfers are also a good point
Good tour, comfortable journey in car but make sure you bring a hat, sunscreen and comfortable shoes for walking ! All in all a memorable day and a lot of places covered in the tour with interesting bits of its history… our guide uncle Mike/Michael/Miguel was very friendly, helpful and full of life always keeping us in high spirits throughout the day… would recommend 💯
Perfect day with the perfect guide Louis! Definitely recommend it!
