What To Expect

Eixample
8.30am - You will leave Barcelona though the Example district of town. As you head out of the city, your guide will give you a brief history of Barcelona, before letting you sit back and relax on the 90 minute drive to Tarragona.
• Admission Ticket Free
Pont del Diable
10.00am - Your first stop of the day is just past Tarragona, where you will discover the impressive Roman Aqueduct (1st century BC) popularly known as 'El Pont del Diable' (The Devil's Bridge) or 'Les Ferreres' Aqueduct.
It used to be part of the water supply network of the city and today stands in almost perfect condition. You will be able to walk across the top from one side to another. It's quite an unforgettable moment to be standing on some built almost 2,000 years ago!
From the aqueduct you will travel back to Tarragona.

Amfiteatre de Tarragona
11.00am - You will arrive in Tarragona quietly entering the old part of the city through a narrow gateway in the ancient walls. Nowadays, the new city overlaps the site of the ancient Acropolis and during your visit you will see firsthand the surprising coexistence of a Roman past and modern life.
Starting at the Archaeological walkway, you will admire the surviving stone walls, wander through the historic old quarter - passing the medieval hospital - before stopping at the Cathedral where you can enjoy the Sunday morning antique market.
From there, you continue down through the old town to discover the Roman Forum and the nearby Roman Circus hidden amidst the urban design.
Walk along the underground passageways that held the Circus' stands and come to one of the most popular squares within the old town, Placa de la Font, situated inside the Roman Circus.
If you stand very still and close your eyes, you can almost hear the chariots racing by. On this very spot, thousands of years ago on, perhaps on the very same day of the week, the Roman capital of the Iberian Peninsula came alive in all of its bloody glory.
And last, but certainly not least, enjoy the breathtaking seaview over the Roman amphitheater and imagine gladiators battling each other to the death! It's a poignant moment to stand on the same dusty ground that bore witness to countless scenes of sacrifice and passion. Perhaps most fascinating of all is the Christian church built in the middle of the stage out of the very same blocks that were used in their amphitheater.
After your immersion in Roman history, you will meet your guide and continue our tour at around 1.00pm.

To start we have a great guide Steven! Our group was delightful.
The Roman aqueduct like always very impressive, have the opportunity to cross the entire Roman bridge .
Later Tarragona Town has a great view of the Mediterranean seas and the ruins of Roman empire.

Underrated tour - so beautiful and highly recommended.

Stephen took us on an amazing tour of the various sights of Tarragona (Tarraco) and Sitges, and we were able to have some free time in all areas to do as we wished. One of the highlights was our time at the beach in Sitges, where we enjoyed swimming in the ocean and lounging with the locals. Highly recommended trip! Stephen made our trip A+.
Great day trip to Tarragona & Sitges
Joanna_B, 04-08-2022
Our small group (8) tour was great! The meeting place was easy to find. Our tour guide (Stephen) was fantastic!!! Friendly and knowledgeable. We had a comfortable drive to Tarragona with interesting bits of information on the way. The guided tour around the different Roman ruins was informative, and we enjoyed our free time in the city. The kids shopped at an outdoor market while we enjoyed cocktails at a cafe. We also enjoyed our beach and cafe time in Sitges, and Stephen treated us to a fantastic view at the end of our time there. 10/10 would recommend!!
A great experience
James_P, 26-07-2022
What a great adventure! We were intrigued by the presence of Roman ruins all throughout Tarragona, and how well-preserved they were, considering. Tarragona is a very pretty town. Of course, we loved shopping and visiting the beach at Sirges, and the seafood and paella were great! We walked straight into the sea without stopping, it was so refreshing and not at all cold. We highly recommend this tour and this tour group. I apologize but I forget the name of my wonderful tour guide from Ireland, but he was amazing!!
Tremendous Tarragona

Loved Tarragona! Our guide, Sergei was very friendly and extremely knowledgeable of the history of the city and took the time to explain it to the group. We were allowed ample time to see things on our own as well. Tour could have been improved by allowing more time in Tarragona!
Sitges is a charming sea side town with plenty of shopping and restaurants. Sergei did an excellent job of explaining the various options and the history behind the town as well.
