We decided to start our 4 nights in Barcelona with Devour’s El Born tapas tour. This was a great way to explore the area and one of the highlights of our trip. Our guide Hector was a wealth of knowledge of Barcelona history, food and wine. He took us to 3 different restaurants where we had a total of about 8 courses of food along with a variety of local drinks - wine, beer, cava, vermouth. Highly recommend this tour to anyone that visits Barcelona - we went back to a couple of the restaurants a second time. Hector gave us lots of other suggestions on things to do in the city.

Dominic was great! He was a wealth of information on everything. The food was delicious and so was the wine. It was nice to eat food at "old" family owned places.

We had the pleasure of joining a tapas tour led by Vera today, and it was truly unforgettable. Vera was an exceptional guide—warm, knowledgeable, and effortlessly engaging. She brought the local food culture to life with stories, history, and insider tips that made every bite more meaningful. We learned so much about Spanish cuisine and traditions, sampled an incredible variety of tapas, and sipped on delicious local wines and vermouths. Vera’s passion for the city and its flavors was contagious, and her thoughtful pacing made the whole experience feel relaxed and indulgent. Highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to eat, drink, and learn their way through Barcelona. Vera made it feel like we were exploring with a friend who knows all the best spots.

Hector was the perfect guide. The food was excellent. It was nice to visit three very popular restaurants without waiting in line.

The spaces you eat at are very small and can get very warm, so dress accordingly. Guide provides equal amounts of local history along the walk before going to three stops.

Feliciano was a fantastic guide. So much knowledge of all things Barcelona…history, architecture, culture, food. He is personable and delightful and we all thoroughly enjoyed every minute with him. His tour even changed my girlfriend’s opinion of Barcelona from “nay” to “yea”!
