Feliciano was an amazing tour guide. I would really recommend this tour, he was very knowledgeable and such a friendly guy.

Our tour guide was Feliciano and we couldn’t have asked for a better host in Barcelona. His knowledge and enthusiasm for culture and history of the city was top notch. What a great time. We only wish we’d scheduled the tour on our first day in town. Thank you Feliciano!

My favorite thing to do when landing in a new city/country, especially after a long overnight flight across the ocean, is to schedule an evening food tour. It's a GREAT way to get acclimated to a city geographically and culturally, it gives me something planned to make sure I leave my hotel instead of just crashing, and it means not having to look for dinner on my first night in a new place when I don't know the area. My food tour in the Gothic Quarter of Barcelona with guide Feliciano of Devour Tours was PERFECT! He provided such a wonderful blend of giving us a tour of history and architecture along with taking us to cozy local spots we'd have never known to try on our own. His itinerary was perfect, with a progression of courses and paired drinks, alongside an INCREDIBLY knowledgeable guided walk of the Gothic Quarter.<br /><br />But most importantly for a tour like this, Feliciano was a fantastic host. He very quickly made it feel like I was on a dinner tavern crawl with a group of friends, not strangers I'd met only minutes before. We all shared lots of great conversations about where we were from, our travels, and more. Feliciano was definitely the catalyst for all of this with his warm introductions and skillful corralling of the group through the evening's fun.<br /><br />It was a great night of company, delicious food and drink, and learning about a beautiful city. It was exactly what I hoped it would be!

Great experience with our guide Andrea! Would definitely recommend for a beginner intro to Barcelona culture and food. We had a great time exploring the history of the gothic area.

Feliciano was amazing!!!! My husband and I had such a great time learning the history, eating like the locals and making new friends , Vamonos!
Tripadvisor customer · Lakesha · Dec 17, 2025 Excellent
Alex was a very knowledgeable guide, sharing lots of Barcelona history between 3 tapas and drinks stops. All three tapas locations were buried in the Gothic quarter, their small spaces filled with locals. The last stop the food was so filling I barely touched the dessert, and definitely did not want to eat again the rest of the day. We enjoyed hearing the history of the establishments and the concept of tapas in Barcelona.

Feliciano did an absolute amazing job! Although we had down our own research and consider ourselves big history nerds, he taught us things we didn’t even know! It was incredible and the food was very authentic as well as delicious.
Tripadvisor customer · Diego · Dec 01, 2025 Excellent
For our last meal in Barcelona we scheduled a special treat—Devour’s Tapas, Taverns & History foodie tour—and it did not disappoint! Our guide, Alex, was superb. She led us through the Gothic Quarter—three food stops with history and culture intermingled. Each stop contained multiple delicacies and drinks. Who knew vermouth could be that good? And fried anchovies? Have you drunk from a porron? You will on this trip! Every stop was a culinary adventure. This tour must be on your Bacelona bucket list—you won’t regret it!!
