Tarragona highlights half-day guided tour

4/5
12 reviews

Step back in time to when Tarragona ruled as the Roman capital of Hispania. This half-day tour focuses on the city's top attractions and you'll explore these incredible monuments with with a local guide who'll bring their stories to life. You'll visit the Roman Circus, an atmospheric amphitheatre overlooking the Mediterranean where chariot races once thrilled thousands, along with sections of the original Roman walls that still surround the old town.

What makes Tarragona brilliant is how it balances old and new. Once your tour wraps up, you're free to explore the historic quarter on your own. The Gothic cathedral dominates the skyline, while narrow Medieval streets lead to plazas filled with locals enjoying their day. You'll find plenty of spots to grab lunch or a drink, all within walking distance of the ancient Roman sites.

This tour brings together Tarragona's historic landmarks and its contemporary energy in one memorable experience. It's an easy way to appreciate why UNESCO has recognised this place since 2000 as something worth preserving.

    Becca the rep at the hotel added me to the trip after booking other family members earlier in the week. She told me everything I needed to know and was very pleasant. The rep for the trip was very informative and gave good tips on how to get around in Tarragona. She was excellent. An extra hour would have helped to see a little more of the area.

    Had a great trip to Tarrgagona. What a lovely city would liked to had more time there. The Roman ruins even though it’s short time it’s enough to get the feel of what happened. With fantastic view from the top of the tower

    My husband & I waited for pick up until after 9.30, I contacted someone by chat & telephone & was told the driver was there but no one was at the pick up point. I was sent pictures of pick up point clearly showing people stabding at bus stop so not sure how you can see no one was there. Very unhappy we were left standing all this time, no call from a rep or any communication, will not be booking a trip again.

    We initially thought there would of been a bit more of the guided tour and more to see it was a short guided tour but plenty of free time to explore.
