  2. Finca Mas Perdut

    Only 15 minutes from the olive oil mill, and we arrive at this small winery in Penedés, the region famous for its Cava. The winemaker, who belongs to a family of farmers for generations, will show you the old vineyards of autochthonous grapes and the ancestral methods he uses to produce the wine. After a short tour, you will taste four fantastic wines, from Sparkling to reds, and have a delicious lunch sitting outdoors, next to the old vineyards. The lunch includes fresh Catalan dishes like the famous "pà i tomàquet" (bread, tomato, and olive oil), anchovies, Catalan savory flatbread (the Catalan version of focaccia), a charcuterie selection, and a cheese platter.

  3. Pont del Diable

    On our way to Tarragona, we will stop to see and take pictures of a Roman Aqueduct from the first century BC. Built at the time when Ceaser Augustus came to Tarraco (today's Tarragona). Your guide will give you all the information and a good introduction to some real Roman engineering.

  4. Tarragona

    Finally, in Tarragona, you will travel back in time to explore the most iconic Roman ruins in Catalonia. Imagine the atmosphere where gladiators once fought by the shore of the Mediterranean Sea, and wander through the remarkably preserved corridors of the Roman Circus, where horse racers once competed for glory and honor. Afterward, enjoy a gentle stroll through the medieval old town, where ancient relics still hide in every corner. It is a true delight for history enthusiasts and a beautiful way to crown your journey through the region.

Loved it!

I'm usually a DIY travel kind of guy but our friends booked this trip for our group and I'm incredibly grateful that they did! Ivan was a great tour guide and was super knowledgable about the history of the area. He was also very friendly and open to answering any questions about the tour. The highlights of my trip was - getting to learn about the entire olive oil production process from a family operated farm - learning how to make traditional pa amb tomàquet with the tastiest home grown tomato at Finca Mas Perdut

Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your review Andrew! I hope to see you again in Barcelona :)

Authentic and Unforgettable

Absolutely my favorite tour in all of Europe, the highlight of my whole trip to Spain. Took us to underrated spots and the guide was super friendly. It had such an authentic feel and wasn’t touristy at all, the tour operator was friends with the olive oil farm owners and the winery owner, which made it feel really special. Super comfortable the whole way: pick-up straight from the hotel, comfortable vehicle, and a great mix of seeing the agricultural landscapes, learning, and tasting. The lunch was so yummy, felt like eating in someone’s home farm to table, with tomatoes literally from the farm outside. You could also buy merch and souvenirs along the way, which ended up being my one-stop shop for gifts to bring back for friends. We went as a group of 6 and it felt really comfortable, never crowded. We had the winery and olive oil tasting all to ourselves, with plenty of space. Also so cool getting to see Tarragona - such an underrated city, with the best-preserved Roman aqueducts and ruins I’ve seen, honestly beats the huge crowds in Rome. Just a great balance of a day - education, yummy food, decadent wine. Best day of the whole trip.

Response from the operator: Many thanks for your review! I am very happy to know that this was your favorite tour in Europe. Gracias!!!

Amazing taste of Catalan history and culture

Hands down one of the best tours I've ever been on. Our guide Ivan and all of the business owners were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. I had a great time, tasted some very unique and delicious food and wines, and learned a lot about Catalan history and culture. 11/10 would recommend.

Tarragona Private Escape: Ancient Ruins, Olive Oil & Wine Tasting: questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Barcelona.

How much does Tarragona Private Escape: Ancient Ruins, Olive Oil & Wine Tasting cost?

+

Prices start at €150 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Barcelona usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

How long does Tarragona Private Escape: Ancient Ruins, Olive Oil & Wine Tasting take?

+

Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Barcelona is not rushed.

Is Tarragona Private Escape: Ancient Ruins, Olive Oil & Wine Tasting worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 21 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Barcelona, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

Can I cancel or reschedule Tarragona Private Escape: Ancient Ruins, Olive Oil & Wine Tasting?

+

Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

Is Tarragona Private Escape: Ancient Ruins, Olive Oil & Wine Tasting suitable for kids and families?

+

The operator sets a minimum age of 2. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 8-hour running time when deciding.

How far in advance should I book Tarragona Private Escape: Ancient Ruins, Olive Oil & Wine Tasting?

+

Around 7 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Barcelona can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

What should I bring or wear?

+

Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Barcelona and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Tarragona Private Escape: Ancient Ruins, Olive Oil & Wine Tasting start and how do I get there?

+

The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Barcelona within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

What are the best things to do in Barcelona?

+

Barcelona's Gaudí sites are capacity-limited and the official timed tickets go first, so most of the market is resellers with a guide attached. We weight those heavily on whether the guide is an architecture specialist. Beyond Gaudí, the tapas crawls in Gràcia and the Montserrat day trips carry the highest rankings in the city. On Outty we rank every Barcelona experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Costa Brava Tour: Kayak, Snorkel & Cliff Jump from Barcelona, Gràcia Tapas and Vermouth Crawl, Girona & Dali Museum Small Group Tour with Pick-up from Barcelona. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

When is the best time to visit Barcelona?

+

May, June, September and October. Sagrada Família light is best mid-morning. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

How many days do you need in Barcelona?

+

Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

+

Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

What is included in Tarragona Private Escape: Ancient Ruins, Olive Oil & Wine Tasting?

+

Included: Private transportation; Alcoholic beverages; Tarragona Circus Tickets; Lunch; and Snacks. Not included: Cathedral entry tickets (optional visit); and Pick-up outside Barcelona, Sitges and Tarragona. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

Does Tarragona Private Escape: Ancient Ruins, Olive Oil & Wine Tasting include hotel pickup?

+

Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 264 listed pickup locations in and around Barcelona.

What languages is Tarragona Private Escape: Ancient Ruins, Olive Oil & Wine Tasting offered in?

+

It is offered in English, French and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Tarragona Private Escape: Ancient Ruins, Olive Oil & Wine Tasting?

+

Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

Is Tarragona Private Escape: Ancient Ruins, Olive Oil & Wine Tasting wheelchair or stroller accessible?

+

The operator notes: Not recommended for pregnant travelers. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

What happens to Tarragona Private Escape: Ancient Ruins, Olive Oil & Wine Tasting if the weather is bad?

+
