Don't miss this

Had a fantastic time with Eduardo. He gave us a walk through the history of tarragona and knew all the ins and outs of the town. He picked perfect spots to get great views and great shops and places to grab a treat. At stiges he helped us get the best bang for the buck on lunch and can tailor it to any budget. Then more incredible sights and views. Do not skip this tour and try and ask for Eduardo, you wont be disappointed

Tour guide wanted to be the star

This was the third day tour with In / Out while in Barcelona. The first 2 - 5 stars - (1) Montserrat and (2) Dali. This could have been equally great. But Diego our tour guide was terrible. My recommendation is to cancel and request a refund if Diego is your tour guide. He was more interested in telling us about himself and his life. The start was bad no other guide had a problem finding us and coordinating. He called and wanted another 30 minutes so he could figure out where to park and come get us. WTF. He took us on a nice detour overlooking the city but then it began. He walked around and smiling and telling how great it was. Yeah - but what about the history - what are we looking at. We pressed on - driving to tarragona. The speed limit was 120, he drove 75-80. And 1 1/2 trip morphed into 2 1 /4. He talked the whole time but not about the sights - but about him. We stopped at the aqueduct - finally. Did he prep us and discuss before we stopped - no. The whole day was a disaster. I expect it could have been great. The other private tours we took with this company were

My experience was fantastic and pleasant so much to go again!

It has been a very nice experience, although the rain on the way from Navarre to Tarragona allowed us to imagine that it would accompany us all day, it was not!, the days favored us with lots of sunshine and pleasant weather. Clean and beautiful beaches. Port Ventura Park and FerrariLand UUUUUF mega recommended if you like strong emotions and adrenaline. in Barcelona all very friendly people, clean beach and a Mood of happiness. Yes, of course I will, I loved the beaches and the city. Recommendations to visit Tarragona beach and Barceloneta, if you would like to have a place close to the water arrives very early because they take care. For a walk if you don't like the sweltering sun, be prepared with an umbrella or hat and water bottle.
