About this tour

What to expect
Your guide collects you between 8–9 am and drives to Sitges first, where you'll wander narrow lanes lined with galleries, cafés, and colonial-era mansions opening onto a sandy beach. After an hour or two exploring, you'll head to Tarragona. The walking tour takes in the Amphitheatre (where gladiators once fought) and the Circus (where chariot races thundered around the track). Roman walls, aqueducts, and street-level archaeology pepper the old town. The afternoon settles at San Sebastià Beach—a wide, sheltered bay where you can swim or rest before the return journey to Barcelona by early evening.
Good to know
Bring sun protection, water, and comfortable walking shoes—both towns involve uneven medieval cobbles. Food and drinks aren't included; eating options exist in both towns. The pace suits all fitness levels but involves sustained walking on varied terrain. Infants travel free; prams and car seats available.
