Easy pace and interesting - We went on this tour with Ramon. An interesting tour done at an easy pace. Ramon was a good driver and knew his topic well. The tour started and finished on time. We came back to Barcelona via a scenic coastal road. Would recommend.

Diego is a rock star! - Diego was absolutely fantastic! The content of the tour, the locations we visited, and the museum were all wonderful, but it was Diego’s warm, personal, and informative approach that made this a one-of-a-kind experience. I wish it could have lasted all week! This was a special and memorable day.

Discover Tarragona, its history and its beachy surroundings. - Beautiful city facing the sea, full of Greek Roman history. Ideal for excursions in and around its interior in about 4 days. Visit nearby beaches like Salou with family and friends. The best seafood dishes!

Fascinating Location - Tarragona is a fascinating location, the one-time capital of the Romans in Spain some 2,000 years ago. Much has been preserved, not only of the Romans but also of the city's Medieval heritage. A great add-on for any trip to Barcelona. Guide Ramon was top-notch, a veritable Wikipedia of cultural and historical lore about the region...and he'll include some real estate tips!

You HAVE to do this tour! - We had a wonderful time with Miquel. He is knowledgeable, friendly and funny. He is also an excellent driver. Tarragona is a beautiful city and the Roman structures and remains awe inspiring, especially the Ferreres Aqueduct. This half-day tour should be at the top of your to do list for any visit to Barcelona.

Do Not Book This - We lost a day of our Barcelona visit doing this tour. Viator double charges this - don’t book through them. We overpaid an extraordinary amount without realizing how limited this experience would also be. Our tour guide was kind but knew almost no history and had no idea how to tour the area. We got lost numerous times. This was a total waste of money and our time.
