One of our favorite evenings laden with a great host, Mick, the best tapas we ate in Barcelona, and great history and introduction to some legendary locations!<br />I’m still trying to replicate the tomato bread and Spanish tortilla we had…a no fuss tour that will leave you with so many happy memories…after 40 years of traveling intensely, devour tours were the first “arranged” outing that we attempted and we ended up doing 4 in a 10 day period, because each and every one was amazing! We never felt “corralled”, rushed, bored, or uncomfortable…I couldn’t recommend them more!

Arianna was an amazing tour guide! Fantastic combination of the history of Barcelona and how the food and wine linked to that history. Definitely one of the best organized tours that I have ever been on.

Best experience in Barcelona! Delicious and authentic food and drink with lots of walking and history. Our guide Alex (Alexandra) was knowledgeable, funny and personable, and probably the best guide I’ve had in a while.

Great time! Our guide was very informative and fun for this tour. The group size was not too big at all. We also loved the 3 stops! Certainly not places we would have tried on our own. The Gothic area is really spectacular.

I had a fantastic time with lots of fabulous food on this tour with Dom. He was witty and knowledgeable, and he provided a lot of historical information. I highly recommend this tour and Dom. There is about an hour of the Gothic Quarter tour between the first stop and the rest of the stops for food and drinks, just so you are prepared, and it will be worth it.
