This tour was wonderful!! Our guide, Feliciano was fun and knew so much about the history of the city. Great bites and wine at 3 separate spots along the way. Time went by quickly between stops and ended with a sweet bite.<br /><br />Food was very local mom and pop shops, not particularly fancy, but delicious freshly prepared and well explained. Great exposure to Spanish staples and local ingredients. I highly recommend this tour!!

We had a great time with Jordi on this tapas tour in the gothic quarter. It was a great balance of history, food, and fun. I like that the tapas choices were a combination of traditional and then some other unique options. I highly recommend this tour.
