Our journey commences at the grand scale model of Tarraco, leading us towards the Praetorium Tower. Here, we reminisce the glory of the Temple of Augustus and take a tour of the great arches underpinning the Provincial Forum and the Circus stands.

Tarragona at its best with ITINERE guided tours - I had the pleasure to join a small guided group during Christmas. My guide, Georgia, is TOP-TOP: I liked her explanations, the way she guided us throught the small streets, the knowledge she has as professional guide. All in all, I do recommend ITINERE if you ever visit this city. And I am sure that if I ever come back to Tarragona, I will no doubt, choose ITINERE again. Thanks for an enjoyable 2h30! All the best for 2024 for you all

A two-hour private tour with Georgia - The tour was filled with very useful contextual information, anecdotes and attention to always explaining where we were standing (compared to the antic city of Tarraco).
We enjoyed the easy going way of our guide and her recommendations. The added value of someone who knows the city best is incomparable!
Many thanks to Georgia!

Saved from disaster - What started out as a disaster due to a booking foul up on the website - selling us an English language tour when no such tour was offered by the tour company - turned into a tour de force of Tarragona history conducted personally by Xavier, the company’s manager, who was determined to make sure that we were not left disappointed.
Poor integrator sales support - but terrific tour - thank you

No value to tour if you don’t speak Catalan. - We looked for an English Speaking tour. None around. Our tour guide was clearly detailed and thorough in his presentation. Just didn’t work for us.

I dont recommend your Comoany. Miraré otra empresa más comprensiva y con mejor servicio - They stole my purse on my way to the tour and I called to see if we can change the time and they told me no. I bought tickets for 12 people and was able to shiw the the Roman Vila
