It was one of the best day trip we had and Kurt Jaime is the perfect man to look for. In Out Barcelona Tours. Kurt was fantastic while the drive, knows exact where to stop & exactly what are the places to show. He ensured we had the best experience of Tarragona while knowing it’s rich history along with trip. A must do. I would suggest Half Day as rest of the day we explored Barcelona so it was absolutely worth it.
Once again Kurt, you are the best.

I enjoyed seeing the amphitheater, though I was disappointed that it wasn't possible to go down into it. The walls and circus were also very interesting. Our guide, Mariusz, was excellent.
