About this tour
A 10-hour private tour from Barcelona combining Tarragona's layered Roman heritage with Sitges' bohemian coastal charm. Start in Tarragona exploring the ancient circus and amphitheatre where gladiators once performed, then drift south to Sitges for its Modernist architecture, gallery-lined streets, and San Sebastià beach. Your own guide navigates both towns while transport and hotel pickup handle the logistics, leaving you free to absorb two distinct faces of Catalonia in one day.

- Tarragona Amphitheatre where gladiatorial contests occurred
- Sitges' early 20th-century Modernist buildings and courtyards
- San Sebastià Beach—golden sand, sheltered swimming
- Private vehicle eliminates public transport fumbling
- Expert local guide contextualises both locations
- Hotel pick-up and drop-off included
What to expect
You'll depart Barcelona in a private vehicle and arrive in Tarragona within an hour. The guide leads you through stone-paved lanes of the Old Town, then into the amphitheatre perched above the Mediterranean—imagine the roar of crowds here 2,000 years ago. The Circus ruins sit near the waterfront; both sites reward slow looking. After lunch (your cost), head to Sitges. Expect art galleries tucked into narrow streets, seafront promenades, and the sweeping arc of San Sebastià Beach. The pace is measured—this isn't a sprint.
Good to know
Wear comfortable shoes for substantial walking on uneven medieval cobbles. Bring sun protection and water; few shaded spots exist. The tour suits all fitness levels but involves climbing stairs at both archaeological sites. Prams and infant seats available if needed. Lunch not included; restaurants abundant in both towns.
