This tour with Alex was absolutely fantastic! He personalised the tour to what I was interested in. His knowledge of the food, wine, the region and history made for a really fascinating experience.
And all the food and wine spots were truly delicious.
I would highly recommend this tour whether you’re a first time visitor to Barcelona or have visited before.

Not to be missed. What a lovely tour that included unique food and parts of the city. I have visited many times, and this is my favorite neighborhood. It’s sad that so few people visit here. Well worth your time. My guide was knowledgeable about the architecture, the history of the neighborhood, and the food we ate. Would not only recommend, would say it is a must when visiting the city.

Excellent Walks & Devour Food Tour of Garca, Barcelona. Feliciano is an excellent guide who conducted a relaxed pace tour that included much explanation of Spanish history and evolution of the architecture of Garcia and the influence of Modernism on the homes of the wealthy textile business owners. Oh yes, this was a food tour! We went to a wonderful collection small family proprietorship serving sweet to full tapas and the neighborhood market as well. Don't miss this one if you want to see a part of Barcelona with few other tourists!

A Delicious Cultural Stroll Through Gracia with Heart and Flavor. We embarked on the Gracia, Tapas, and Gaudí tour, led by the delightful and resourceful Nika. The journey began at Gaudí’s Casa Vicens and concluded at the stunning Casa Milà, weaving through the charming Gracia neighborhood. Nika guided us through local markets and family-run establishments, offering a rich tapestry of Catalan culture and cuisine. From savory bites to sweet treats, each stop provided a taste of tradition and community.
Nika’s engaging storytelling and deep knowledge made this tour a highlight of our Barcelona visit!
I wanted to take a moment to recognize Ariana for her exceptional service as a tour guide. She was so much fun and so knowledgeable. My wife and I have taken several tours with Devour and other companies and I believe this one was our favorite, all because of Ariana. Thank you so much, we just scheduled another tour tonight in Barcelona because of how much fun we had.
