Absolutely. Tarragona is well worth visiting on a day tour from Barcelona and more so, if you love history and would appreciate a break from Barcelona's crowded cosmopolitan vibe.

Is Andorra worth visiting on a day tour from Barcelona?

Yes, Andorra is absolutely worth a visit! If you have time for tours outside the city during your stay in Barcelona, then Andorra is a special experience and could be a once in a lifetime opportunity. The Principality of Andorra is a tiny nation nestled entirely in the Pyrenees Mountains range that divides France and Spain. Andorra is a high-altitude country and only accessible by road. No airport or train connection! To visit Andorra from Barcelona is a 3 hour drive each way, so with short breaks, you will be driving for 7 hours of a 12 hour day tour - that's why we calll it a "road trip" more than a tour. But it's worth it! The countryside you are driving through is very scenic. You will enjoy mountain peaks and passes, small villages, impressive valleys and more. There'll be many photos stops during the day. This unique day tour starts from Barcelona in Spain with a pick-up at your hotel. Then it crosses the Spanish French border with a stop at a typical French village. Then it crosses another national border from France into Andorra. It's a real expedition! Andorra is miniscule, but it has breathtaking vistas, a fascinating history, a buzzing capital city and snow in the winter months. Our 2 person guide team will look after you all day and keep you entertained and informed from start to finish.. In the winter Andorra is a popular skiing destination, so from December to April you get to experience snow. Travel tip: don’t forget that Andorra is not in the EU or the Schengen zone, so you will need a multiple entry Schengen visa. Another tip is that in the winter you will need to dress warmly!
