Really interesting tour. One of the few companies that offer gluten free alternatives so was a little disappointed that one of the stops offered three tapas two of which had gluten and there were no alternatives offered.

What an excellent tour. Jordi our guide was very friendly and informative not only about the history of the city, but also about the venues that we visited and the food and wine that we tasted. This really was a great experience and one that considerably enhanced our already delightful short first visit to beautiful Barcelona.

This is not the first devour tour we’ve done and it will not be the last. Our tour guide was fantastic, informative, and personable. Locations and choice of tapas that the tour provides are authentic with exceptional quality and charming eating spots.

Bene did a splendid job blending the history of the Gothic Quarter with the Catalan culture. The food was delicious at all 3 historic local restaurants. Her binder with visual aids was an excellent addition to the tour. We learned a lot! She had a wonderful personality and showed an interest in each member of the tour and always ensured that we didn’t get separated. We appreciated all her knowledge and her willingness to answer our questions. We will recommend her and Devour tours in the future!
