Andrea was the most amazing, kind, knowledgeable tour guide! She made everyone feel so welcome and took us to some of the most amazing spots for tapas. Not only did she take us to some fantastic restaurants she taught us so much of the history along the way to each location. Our group became a mini family after we were done! Thank you to Andrea and the Devour food tour team for such a wonderful experience!

My 16-year-old daughter and I were fortunate to have Eric as our Barcelona Tapas, Taverns & History Tour guide this week. The tour was an excellent balance between history and food. There was plenty of food, and it was all excellent. We felt Eric was highly qualified, professional, smart, and a very nice person. He made sure the participants were introduced, connected, and felt comfortable. In addition to history, Eric shared interesting and valuable anecdotes and tips about Catalan and Spanish culture. The tour was one of the highlights of our trip, and I would definitely book another tour with Devour on our next travels. Thank you, Eric! Lihi & Gili, New Jersey

Hector, our tour guide, was amazing. The restaurants he took us too were amazing and with a very local flavor. He was super knowledgeable, nice, funny and interesting. My only complaint is with Devour Tours not confirming and not communicating with us about the change in time. Our email said 5:30 PM, and so did the tour we booked, but when we got there, they had changed us to 6:30 PM, which I hadn’t even seen as a choice. Hector saved the night for them! He’s a treasure they should keep!

Five!!! We loved every minute. Hector was engaging, funny and provided the history our group was looking for.

Arianna was absolutely amazing and made the tour. It’s pretty telling when the entire group said at the end the best part of the tour was the guide. The tour, establishments and food itself was outstanding but the level of history in between stops felt like we were getting an entire other tour included. Worth every penny and then some. Would highly, highly recommend Arianna and this tour to anyone wanting to explore and understand Spain and the Catalonia region in particular, better

Our tour started with a glitch…the email<br />Said 5:30 and when we got there the lady said it was at 6:30! We were not happy! Devour Tours did not communicate with us in the least! Hector saved the night! He was fabulous! A perfect combination of funny and knowledgeable! Ask for Hector!
