I am completely satisfied with the free tour. Everything offered was received in the highest possible quality; the guide was wonderful and highly qualified, her speech denoted experience and knowledge, in addition to her kind attention. The tour was made more attractive by being supported by a clear and enigmatic story. Thank you for such excellent service... Please give the guide a round of applause.

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.

Si a un buen profesional como guía le sumas una excelente persona y que transmite positivismo, energa, humor y ganas de que todo el mundo disfrute por igual sin olvidarse ni del mas pequeño da como resultado una actividad doblemente satisfactoria. Un placer tener a Hugo como guía y repetiría con él a cada sitio que fuese. Muchas gracias Hugo. Translate this opinion into English.

If you add a good professional guide to an excellent person who transmits positivity, energy, humor and a desire for everyone to enjoy themselves equally without forgetting even the smallest, the result is a doubly satisfying activity. It was a pleasure to have Hugo as a guide and I would go with him again wherever I went. Thank you very much Hugo. Opinion translated. Show original.

La experiencia muy buena y el guía espectacular. Estivo muy bien y fue muy amena. Lo único que me fue raro es q la ciudad estaba en alerta por fuertes vientos y cerraron los monumentos pero la excursión no se anulo exponiendo en peligro tanto al guía como al grupo. Delante nuestra se cayó un árbol y una valla de una obra u eso me pareció mucho riesgo por parte de ustedes Translate this opinion into English.

The experience was very good and the guide was spectacular. He was very good and very enjoyable. The only thing that was strange to me was that the city was on alert for strong winds and they closed the monuments but the excursion was not cancelled, exposing both the guide and the group to danger. A tree and a fence from a construction site fell in front of us and that seemed like a lot of risk on your part. Opinion translated. Show original.

La experiencia nos encantó! Hugo nos brindó muchos aspectos desconocidos que nos hizo apreciar aún más la magnificencia de Tarragona. Es un guía excelente, amable y divertido, sabe gestionar de modo equilibrado el tiempo de recorrido con las curiosidades históricas, geográficas y culturales. Prestó mucha atención a todos los detalles (por ejemplo, cuidando de armonízar la visita con los vecinos). Un plus: Las audioguias y el uso de la tablet con el antes y el después. Muy recomendable!!

La chica que nos hizo el tour super amable y explicando todo con mucho detalle, sin hacerlo pesado. Que vaya utilizado mapas e imágenes ha ayudado a entender mejor algunas cosas y nos ha transportado a la época antigua. Además, nos ha contado más de una curiosidad que nos han sorprendido. Totalmente recomendable la visita, sobre todo el primer día que llegas a la ciudad para conocer de manera global la historia del lugar y todo lo que puedes encontrar. Gracias.

The girl who gave us the tour was super friendly and explained everything in great detail, without making it boring. The fact that she used maps and images helped us understand some things better and transported us back to ancient times. In addition, she told us more than one curious thing that surprised us. I totally recommend the visit, especially on the first day you arrive in the city to get to know the history of the place and everything you can find. Thank you. Opinion translated. Show original.
