Private
Tour overview
Private and ten hours long, this day sets Roman Tarragona against beach-town Sitges. Your guide and driver collect you at the Barcelona hotel, and the morning belongs entirely to Tarragona: the Les Ferreres Aqueduct, known locally as the Devil's Bridge, the Roman Forum, the Circus, the Amphitheatre above the sea, and the Balcony of the Mediterranean for a last wide look over the coast before you leave the old Roman capital behind.
Sitges takes over for the afternoon, a fishing town remade over the last century into something far more polished, with modernist houses, narrow shopping lanes and a long waterfront to walk. There's free time at San Sebastián Beach before the private vehicle, yours alone for the day, takes the group back to Barcelona at one flat group rate.
