Tarragona Free Walking Tour

We'll meet at the Portal del Roser to set off on our free walking tour of the old town of Tarragona.

We'll begin our visit to Tarraco by exploring its streets and learning about its ancient inhabitants. We'll stop in front of the Santa Tecla Cathedral, which is built on Roman, Visigoth, and Arab sites. Did you know the main facade's window is made up of 12 beams?

From here, we'll also go to the Roman circus and amphitheatre, both declared World Heritage Sites by UNESCO. Can you imagine the chariot races and gladiator fights that took place here over 2,000 years ago?

Our guided tour will then continue to the Balcony of the Mediterranean, a 40-metre-high viewpoint where we'll enjoy a stunning view of the Mare Nostrum. Don't forget to touch the railing, they say it's lucky!

Then, we'll bring our free tour to an end at Rambla Nova after exploring the city for 2.5 hours.

Large Groups

This free tour doesn't admit groups of more than 6 people, even if they book the activity separately. Instead, check out our private tour of Tarragona.

Muy interesante, el auricular ayuda muchísimo a no perderse nada del guía (Hugo en este caso) que es majisimo y hace el tour muy ameno. Y el lugar visitado muy chulo, pero una pena que esté tan poco cuidado. Una experiencia que tenéis que disfrutar. Translate this opinion into English.

Very interesting, the headset helps a lot to not miss anything from the guide (Hugo in this case) who is very nice and makes the tour very enjoyable. And the place visited is very cool, but it's a shame that it is so poorly maintained. An experience that you have to enjoy. Opinion translated. Show original.

El guía(Hugo)es una pasada, y se nota que le gusta lo que hace. El hecho de llevar auricular ha facilitado mucho poder oír las explicaciones. Ha sido un tour muy ameno y a dejado la puerta abierta para que visitemos más a fondo Tarragona que para muchos es una gran desconocida. Translate this opinion into English.

The guide (Hugo) is amazing, and you can tell he loves what he does. The fact that he had a headset made it much easier to hear the explanations. It was a very enjoyable tour and left the door open for us to explore Tarragona in more depth, which for many is a great unknown. Opinion translated. Show original.

Nos tocaba otr@ guía a las 10:30, pero por un error en los nombres, nos unimos al grupo de Hugo, a las 11 h...bendita equivocación....Hugo ha resultado ser un guía portugués que conoce la ciudad de Tarragona como la palma de su mano. Profesional, amable, respetuoso con el entorno, ameno y sobretodo, un enamorado de la historia y de su trabajo. Lo disfruta y nos hace disfrutar a todos. Enhorabuena Hugo Translate this opinion into English.

We were scheduled to meet another guide at 10:30, but due to a mistake in the names, we joined Hugo's group at 11 a.m.... what a mistake... Hugo turned out to be a Portuguese guide who knows the city of Tarragona like the back of his hand. Professional, friendly, respectful of the environment, entertaining and above all, a lover of history and his work. He enjoys it and makes us all enjoy it. Congratulations Hugo Opinion translated.

Hugo ha sido un guía muy completo. Nos ha podido llevar a una gran realidad y conocimiento de la historia de la parte antigua de tarraco hasta hoy. Su particular forma de llegar a las personas es de agradecer, con mucho sentido del humor y muy emocional. Este día llovió en la ruta y él se quedó media hora más para poder completar bien la actividad. Se le ve muy ilusionado con su trabajo,. Gracias a él tuvimos una mañana encantadora Translate this opinion into English.

Hugo has been a very complete guide. He has been able to take us to a great reality and knowledge of the history of the old part of Tarraco until today. His particular way of reaching people is appreciated, with a great sense of humor and very emotional. This day it rained on the route and he stayed half an hour longer to be able to complete the activity well. He seems very excited about his work. Thanks to him we had a lovely morning.

Hugo is a charismatic guide, very experienced, he knows what he's doing, leading the group looking out for the good of everyone, both his own (his hearts) and those who pass by. He doesn't want to bore anyone, but rather want them to have a good time while he shares his knowledge and shows them the city in an enjoyable way. A 10 for a guide and a very nice guy.
