One of the best day trips out of Barcelona

5.00I went with a couple of friends and it was some of the most fun that we’ve had on our trip to Spain. The locations were breathtaking and the tour guide was not only friendly and informative, but also created a very fun atmosphere. I left with a new appreciation and knowledge on two beautiful cities and with memories that will last me a lifetime time. Our tour guide even treated us to a history lesson on other parts of barcelona, including some famous land marks, giving some recommendations of activities to do and places to see based on our preferences. From touring the ancient Roman ruins and the beautiful city at Tarragona, to relaxing one the mesmerizing beaches in Sitges, I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to have a good time.
Great Day out..

5.00Great day trip with Tarragona and Stiges with Rod at Explore Catalunya, worth every penny. Definitely one if you like history mixed with a bit of beach time. Rod was so knowledgeable about the sites we visited. Highly recommend.

4.00We had a wonderful experience seeing the Roman Ruins and visiting Tarragona and Sitges, it was not a perfect experience however because we had scheduled this trip for Sunday and they rescheduled us, without telling us why, for Monday when all the museums were closed. Then the whole tour was rushed because of things being closed and us having to be back to the airport for our Monday flight. The guide was very nice and super knowledgeable and we still got to go on the tour it just would have been nice to have gone when we planned to go, overall though we still highly recommend the tour and the people we worked with.

5.00We are three elderly ladies with who still have a zest for life. We went on a private tour with Explore Cataluña to Tarragona and Sitges and we loved it! Our guide and driver was Rod and he could not have been better. He was very knowledgeable! Explained the history and cultures very well. With us also came Carme an intern and both of them were very thoughtful, professional, courteous and patient! All of our questions were answered in the most efficient way. They made this tour be fabulous!!! All three of us enjoyed our day very much!!!

5.00Small group tour. We were lucky that it was just our party. We visited the Tarragona aqueduct outside the town and various Roman sites within the town, which were fascinating. Guide Sergei was friendly and informative. Much easier on the tour and more informative than taking public transport, particularly to the aqueduct, which was impressive.
Fantastic experience
