About this tour
A private eight-hour loop from Barcelona that traces Roman Spain through Tarragona's classical ruins, then pivots to the whitewashed charm of Sitges on the coast. Your driver collects you in the morning and handles all navigation while you explore amphitheatres, circus tracks, medieval fortifications and a stunning seaside promenade at your own pace. The Arc of Barà and clifftop chapel break up the drive between the two towns.
Highlights
- Tarragona's amphitheatre overlooking the Mediterranean shore
- Roman circus and defensive walls of ancient Tarraco
- Gothic cathedral perched above the old town
- Arc of Barà triumphal arch en route to the coast
- Roc de Sant Gaietà chapel on rocky outcrop
- Sitges beachfront promenade and modernist architecture
- Air-conditioned private transport with bottled water included
What to expect
Your driver collects you early and pilots a comfortable vehicle south towards Tarragona. You'll spend the morning wandering Roman-era structures on foot—amphitheatres, circus grounds, stone walls and the cathedral—moving at your own tempo while the driver waits. Lunch happens on your schedule (not included). The afternoon route angles towards Sitges, taking in the surviving triumphal arch, then a stop at the whitewashed chapel jutting from the cliffs. You'll finish in Sitges exploring narrow lanes, the promenade and beach cafés before returning to Barcelona.
Good to know
Monument entry fees are separate. The driver remains with the vehicle whilst you visit sites, so bring water and sun protection. Prams and specialist infant seats available on request. Suitable for mixed fitness levels; much of Sitges and Tarragona's old town involves walking uphill.
