- Catedral Basilica Metropolitana Primada de Tarragona - After a short walk of the historical city center of Tarragona, we visit the cathedral of Santa Tecla with its marvellous gothic cloister and its crypt built on the foundations of Tarragona’s most important temple in Roman times. The cathedral is a masterpiece of Mudejar architecture of the gothic period. After so much history, you have the chance to eat delicious local food in one of the restaurants below the church.

Feel free to swim or to have a sunbath on one of the wide and clean beaches, get lost in one of the fashion boutiques in the center or in one of many deli shops or tapas bars.

Amazing antiquities - Andre is so knowledgeable. We enjoyed the insights he gave along the journey. Loved seeing the Roman ruins and the amazing cathedral. Lunch near the cathedral in a very old holding was tasty and nice atmosphere.

Gorgeous Tarragona! Our visit to Barcelona feels more complete after this wonderful tour. - Andres guided our family of 4 (boy 13, girl 15, adult parents in 40s) from our hotel to the outskirts of Barcelona providing us with endless amounts of history as well as local highlights. We thoroughly enjoyed our entire tour and the accommodations of the private guide/car were extremely comfortable and appreciated after days of other self guided tours without the local inspirations we were given by our guide.

Very enriching day - We were really impressed with our guide knowledge, flexibility and organization. We ordered excursions to Tarragona ahead of time and in reality it felt on rainy day. Our guide changed the plan and turn the itinerary to cultural. He did really great job explaining history of Catalina, processes that made it turn to part of Spain.
Great experience overall.

Wealth of History with a Fantastic Guide - Andre was a wealth of knowledge about everything we saw. He was timely, attentive and clearly enjoyed the history of the area. Sitges was beautiful but the weather was not warm enough for a swim. Tarragona had a wealth of history and we greatly enjoyed the stadium and the circus.

Very informative, historical trip with a very knowledgeable guide. - Wonderful trip and guide. Andre is extremely knowledgeable and very passionate about Catalan culture. Highly recommended to anyone interested in learning the history of the incredible, ancient city of Tarragona from of Roman > Middle Ages > to modern times. The charming, nearby city of Sitges was also very interesting to visit.

Fantastic Tour - The trip to Tarragona and Stiges was very worthwhile. The experience was enhanced by Andre, our amazing tour guide. His knowledge and insights were incredible, and therefore we not only enjoyed the fantastic views and places, but were able to place everything in the right historic context!! Andre was also very attuned to our needs and was very accommodating to our wishes and interests. We absolutely recommend this tour.

Fun times with adversity. - This tour is run by a group called Out of Barcelona and our guide was able the show us a good time despite all the problems our situation put on the event. Because we ended up having to have this tour on Easter monday some of the usal stops were closed. However he was still able to get us good views and insights of these sights. He was also vary receptive to our situation and adapted accordingly. Partly because we did ended up booking the tour the evening before he did end up calling us a little late that night to confirm details and that we wanted to go through with the event despite the challenges the day would present.

Disappointment in Tarragona...not up to the descriptions - We chose the package of 5 visits...but only 2 were really worth it. Not to be taken
