Guided Tour of Roman Tarragona
Description
We follow in the footsteps of Emperor Hadrian who, in AD 122, came to Tarraco to visit one of the most splendid cities in his entire Empire. We start the path in the large model of Tarraco to continue towards the Praetorium Tower where we will evoke the Temple of Augustus and visit the imposing vaults that support the Provincial Forum and the Circus stands. At the end of the tour, next to the Amphitheater, we will reveal the keys to the last show building built in the city, during Hadrian's reign.

Very well explained by the guide A professional
Very beautiful and interesting experience. Our guide was very knowledgeable! Not to be missed if you really want to get to know Tarragona!
Georgia gave us a very pleasant and at the same time educational tour; the whole group was delighted.
Booked city walking tour only to be told that it would be in Spanish only and no English tour available for the 6 days we are in Tarragona..tried several times contacting Viator but to no avail
Itinere is a guided tours enterprise located in the old town of Tarragona, the most important city in the South of Catalonia. In fact, this city has a lot of Roman remains and we decided to do a guided tour in the city center. The tour was very interesting and we could learn a lot about Tarragona and his history. In fact, we could see some sightseeing places like Archaeologic walk, the amphitheater, the Roman circus and some other interesting Roman points. Also, we could see from outside the cathedral. Really, the guide was very professional and the tour was excellent. Very recommendable.
'We're more like the Romans than we know' This was the refrain of our guide, who was very knowledgeable and really made history come alive. The two hours whizzed by (aided by a stop for a Vermut in a local bar)! I enjoyed it so much, I'd do it again if I came back yo Tarragona. Please note that because of the terrain, it's not suitable for pushchairs or wheelchairs.
It was a pleasure to immerse ourselves in the Roman Tarragona of Adrià (our guide). The tour is perfect to understand the birth and evolution of our Roman culture, the explanations become very enjoyable and fun. Thank you, Itinere, we'll repeat.
Last Thursday, September 25, 2025 we took a guided tour of Tarragona with Itinere. We really enjoyed the explanations of the guide, the Roman past of the city and rediscovering the city. They have radio guides that made it easy for us not to miss anything they told us. We would definitely repeat a visit.
I had a great experience on this tour! The guide (Miguel) was very knowledgeable and made the history of the city come to life.
Guided tour by Natalia great professional we loved the visit. Very didactic and explanations make you understand the history of the city much better. A great experience that we clearly recommend to other travelers. Thank you very much Natalia
