Full description
Take a full-day excursion to Tarragona and Sitges and combine a tour of the Roman city with an afternoon lazing on the beach. The 11-hour trip departs from Barcelona and heads south to Tarragona’s breathtaking 2,000-year-old Roman Aqueduct, known locally as El Pont del Diable (The Devil’s Bridge). The perfectly preserved piece of ancient Roman history is hardly ever visited by tourists, but leaves an indelible impression on all who see it. From the Aqueduct, travel into Tarragona city center and explore the ancient Roman capital of the Iberian Peninsula, entering the Old Town through a narrow gateway in the Roman walls. Starting at the Archaeological Walkway, admire the surviving stone walls, wander through the historic old quarter, pass the medieval hospital, and stop at the cathedral to enjoy the Sunday morning antique market for a great chance to pick up some unique gifts. Explore the beautiful cathedral before continuing to the Roman Forum and nearby Roman Circus. Walk along underground passageways that once held the Circus stands, and arrive at Plaça de la Font, one of the most popular squares within the Old Town. Enjoy breathtaking sea views over the Roman Amphitheatre, and imagine gladiators battling each other to the death! It’s a poignant moment to stand on the dusty ground that once bore witness to countless scenes of sacrifice and passion. At approximately 12:30, depart Tarragona for Sitges. En route, you will stop briefly at Roc de Sant Gaieta, an intimate village built on the rocky shoreline. Stroll around its tiny white houses, and let your imagination take you away to Ibiza-style fishing villages, built with a touch of Roman-Greco flair. Arrive in Sitges at 14:00, in perfect time for lunch. This once quiet fishing village today boasts a long and sandy beach, groovy boutiques, and a handful of interesting sights. Fashionable since the 1890s, when it became an avant-garde, art-world hang-out, Sitges provides a maze of shady side streets, where you can enjoy the Mediterranean atmosphere of its whitewashed houses. After a leisurely lunch, head off to one of the 17 beaches in town to spend a relaxing afternoon soaking up the sun. Reunite with your group at 18:00 for the return journey to Barcelona.

Enrique was our guide for this trip and he was excellent. He took us to the Roman aquaducts first and explained how the structures came to be and gave us some time to explore the area around. We then went to Tarragona and had a nice walk around the town. Enrique helped by providing a map and marking out the most important areas to visit. He then took us to Sitges for an afternoon of leisurely exploration. Highly recommended if you want a relaxing trip

Brilliant tour! Definitely worth booking. It was great to see Roman aquaduct fully in tact and to walk along the top. Lots of walking and abit uphill. Recommend walking shoes as lots of loose rocks. Tarragona was beautiful and lots to see church, amphitheatre and roman ruins. Some lovely shops and streets to have a wonder or to you could walk down to beach if you had enough time. Sundays most shops close so that is worth remembering. Take your hat and beach stuff for the afternoon you will need it. Sitges was great place to wind down and had lots of little shops. Was busier than usual due to Feb carnival so street still had people dressed up celebrating. Lots of confetti on the roads and banners up. Difficult to find restaurants to eat due to families coming for long break. But small eateries are best. As first wasnt sure about spending time at beach in afternoon at Sitges. It was definitely worth it. Atmosphere was great. Our guide Stephen was good + had few extra sightseeing spots.

All the members of my tour group would have been perfectly satisfied if all we saw on this trip was the aqueduct alone. We were able to walk across it from one side of the ravine to the other. Tarragona was wonderful. Ancient Roman tunnels, amphitheater, forum, fortress, etc. Sitges had beautiful beaches and great restaurants. A great day trip.
