Half-day trip to Tarragona

Trolley train tour

Free time

What we expect

The city of Tarragona is positively dripping in history, yet you'll find a place that's buzzing with modern eateries and a great vibe. This half-day trip gives you the lowdown on the city's history and top sights with a trolley train tour, then plenty of free time to weave your way around the alleys crammed within these ancient walls.

Once a Roman capital of Spain, Tarragona is brimming with historic landmarks and monuments, and the easiest way to see them all is on the trolley train tour. You'll spot the Circus, amphitheatre, ancient walls and much more as you trundle through...

Teresa was very good and informative. The guided train around the town was terrible as it was just in Spanish so we had no idea what was being said. The amphitheatre was closed on a Monday - this should be on your website as we would have booked for another day. The museum was impossible to find! Overall a bad trip

Coach was early and only a few stops to pick others up so ended up with extra time in Tarragona. Coach was nice and comfortable. Mike the rep was very good, lots of information and clear about meeting points. I went with my 2 teen daughters who also enjoyed the trip. It was the right amount of time to explore and eat before and after the tourist train. The train was a good way of seeing a bit more and the audio was in English and quite interesting. Train a bit squeaky and uncomfortable.

Tersea as a tour guide was lovely and the bus pick ups from hotel to tarragona really good. The trolley train in tarragona itself no guide as drove round the city which was disappointing

Great half day trip, on arrival you have 30 mins free time for a coffee. Then on to the tourist train for a drive around the Port and through the busy shopping area before going through the Roman side streets. The train trolley tour lasts about 50 minutes then you have free time until the pick up at 1pm. Not too much travelling time on the bus, would highly recommend this experience

The tour guides greeting was very welcoming. The bus left on time driven by a careful driver. The guide (Teresa) provided a very clear and detailed account of the area making it interesting and informative. The trolley train was well worth the one hour journey and the free time to spend in Taragona was just perfect for me. In my opinion the excursion itself was excellent. However, when booking I found the timing of 2-4 hours confusing. The TUI rep at the hotel was unable to clarify. It was 4.5hr

When we booked this excursion it was listed as a guided tour. The only but of information given was when to be where to catch to trailer-train and the bus home. On the trailer-train ride there was no information whatsoever. Just driving around the back streets of the city. There was however some factoids of what we could have seen if the cathedral was open. But the was on the journey back to the hotel

No Audio & no commentary by T. (TUI Rep) who said, due to revised Itinerary of Trolley Tr, Original audio would not synchronise. T. sat with us, yet made no effort to tell us names of parts of Tarragona the Trolley Tr was going through -very disappointed. At end of Train ride, T. told us we could walk to Cathedral. We had passed it on Trolley Tr, but as it was NOT pointed out then, it was too late to take a photo of it. Some input by Tracey on out & return Coach, but nothing on Trolley Train.

Overall it was a great experience, guide was very good and gave lots of information, the only thing I didn't think was great was the train around the town but other than that we really enjoyed it.

This was our 2nd trip to Tarragona organised by TUI as we enjoyed it so much. It is a very relaxed and everything of interest is within close proximity. You also get free time to explore on your own. The landtrain takes you to places you might not of known about visiting solo. Excellent guide who made it an enjoyable morming out. Sadly, wished it was longer.

Tarragona is a beautiful place, really enjoyed the trip. I would recommend seeing as much of the old town as possible. I managed to get around the cathedral in the spare time I had but it was a bit rushed. Little sightseeing train was good although quite squashed in! Tracey was a brilliant guide and told interesting stories on the way there and back. Thanks for a great morning out.

It was not too far to travel. Plenty of places to eat and places to rest in the shade. Very clean and locals were very helpful and friendly. Would like to go back to experience an evening in Tarragona. The train ride gave us a view of the harbour and surrounding areas. Teresa our guide was very informative, friendly and helpful. Would thoroughly recommend this trip.

Guide Theresa was brilliant, funny and informative. But the overall value was not great. Felt like we paid for a glorified bus ticket to Tarragona. No Audio guides on the tourist train, all sites closed on Mondays, perhaps a group lunch or coffee break. Once we got there everyone did their own thing and no one mingled. Went on a Monday when all the sites were closed which was no good, a map to guide you around would have been handy

I enjoyed the trip although due to a cycle rally going on the following day, some roads had been closed, which meant we couldn't get closer to some old buildings.

A lovely day but it is what you make it. We had some time to wander before the tourist train ride. Our Tui guide gave us directions and information about cafes and shops and the market. The train ride was great and had audio info which I found very interesting. Not all of the audio devices worked but most people took the initiative to share. We then had a few hours to wander again and we were able to find the shopping centre and explore. I would recommend this fun little trip.

Jon

The trip was great. Plenty to see and do. The land train was good although we sat in the front seats behind the driver and I'd recommend sitting a bit further back. The guide was not that great. He was knowledgeable but you got the feeling he was just going through the motions.

We thought the tourist train was a bit of a waste of time and money, theres no guide on it and a lot of the tour is close up to the walls so you don’t see too much anyway, the rest is just being pull around in a trailer. Its not actually a train but a tractor that looks like a train. The guide for the rest was very knowledgeable, humerus and friendly, overall a very efficient experience but for half a day I would skip the tourist train.

Not enough information about what you received in the trip. I thought it was a guided train tour with a rep throughout.

Tracey was a lovely and knowledgable guide. Enjoyed the train ride, only comment would be that I wish it would talk you through where you were. Lovely trip only wish it was longer!

The tui coach and rep were reliable and she explained what we could see around us on the way to tarragona. Once there and on the tour there was no explanation of anything we were looking at just drove around for half an hour, then left to go walk about. Definitely not worth the money we paid.

Tarragona itself is a beautiful place, however we went on a Monday, when pretty much all museums/places of interest were closed! I believe the Cathedral was open, but with only having half a day, there wasn’t time to see it. Make sure to book this on any day apart from a Monday.

Tarragona was lovely Timings were poor we should of been picked up later as nothing was open for the first hour Train ride very very uncomfortable should come with a warning for whiplash Not enough free time to be able to explore properly Also didnt appreciate the coach leaving before time and nearly leaving us behind
