Traveler reviews
Private tour Tarragona and Sitges
We had a wonderful day with our guide, Ramon visiting Tarragona and Sitges. He was knowledgeable and provided great information throughout the tour, while also being very accommodating and flexible. We especially appreciated that he gave us time to explore on our own and enjoy special moments together as a family, rather than making us feel rushed. He offered just the right amount of structure to keep us on schedule while still allowing us to relax and enjoy each destination at our own pace. He was pleasant to be around, and despite spending 10 hours together on a private tour, the day felt both enjoyable and effortless. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a personalized and relaxing experience.
Wonderful, disability-friendly
My daughter and I had a wonderful time with Adele and Agosto. After a smooth pickup at our hotel, we were driven to Tarragona to see the aquaduct (my favorite!), and the Roman circus/arena by the sea. On the way back we went to Sitges for lunch and some beach time. The thing that really stood out for me was how this tour made the day so much more accessible for me, in a way that let me decide at every point what I felt comfortable doing. I have bad knees and though I can walk and climb a few stairs slowly, a typical "walking tour" is not an option for me. I wanted to see everything within my ability without overdoing it. Sometimes when you're disabled people start making choices for you, but this team was the opposite. I always felt like it was up to me how far I went and what I wanted to do. With a separate guide and driver, drop offs and pick ups were always in the most convenient place, (not the place with the parking). I appreciated the separate stop between the drive and the town to use the restroom and buy a coffee. After sightseeing, Adele called around and found a restaurant with good gluten-free options. Adele speaks really good English, so it was easy to understand her stories about the sights and know that she could understand what I needed. After a lovely time by the beach, we were driven back to Barcelona in air-conditioned comfort with bottled water provided. A beautiful day with a top notch tour.
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
Great day in Costa Brava.
We had a great experience with Eduardo traveling to Tarragon and Sitges. He was very courteous and knowledgeable.
