Eric was an American guide who has lived in Barcelona for years. First off, he was so knowledgeable and we could understand every word he said. Big plus!! Also, we went to three quaint, out of the way places we never would have found on our own. So that was great. Delicious food, amazing drinks. In addition, eric also knows so much history! Another plus. If I went back to Barcelona, I would definitely book again. Don’t wait…..just DO IT!❤️

James was an excellent guide, and our walk through the Gothic Quarter included a lot of historical notes regarding the area. The restaurant selections were excellent, and the tapas and wine selections offered a good sampling of the regional cuisine.

I had Alex as the guide for the group I was with. She was so informative throughout the whole trip whether it was about the history of the Gothic Quarter or the food and drink we were served. Worth every penny and is highly recommended for solo travellers or groups

It was a well organised and well balanced between touring and feasting. James was very nice and gentle. He is very knowledgeable about food and wine. He gave full explanation about the tapes and wines we had and more that we haven't had the opportunity to try yet. The food and wines were very tasty ��. Highly recommended. Alan& Connie
