Our tour guide, David, was outstanding: a foodie with a lot of insight into the food, culture, and history of Barcelona; the venues we visited were very historic and the food and drink were excellent. So much fun! Do it!

We really enjoyed our tour with James!! The history he shared was fascinating, the tapas and drinks were delicious, and we saw parts of the Gothic Quarter we wouldn’t have found on our own. A really well-done experience.

This was a very interesting tour, and we enjoyed it very much. Our guide, Vera, was impressive, with her breadth of knowledge and people skills. This is a tour for people who want to experience the history and tastes of the authentic Spanish tradition of tapas. If you just want to party and drink, I'd recommend taking a different tour.

A perfect start to my trip in Barcelona. Right balance of food, wine and conversation with a little bit about the history of the gothic quarter thrown in. Eric made you feel welcome and had great knowledge about Barcelona. Never a dull moment the tour made me feel less intimidated to go it alone. Fully recommended to all

Eric was our tour guide for Barcelona and he made the experience amazing! He was so knowledgeable - we learned so much about the history while having great drinks and food. I loved that it was a small group as well. Highly recommend to anyone traveling to Barcelona and loves history and drinking!

We had a lovely history and tapas tour with Nika. Sampled excellent wines and a ton of tasty bites. Left full and happy.

Feliciano was an amazing guide. Great energy, fun conversation, and company. The history was intriguing and engaging. The food was amazing and he took you to some very small local spots you likely wouldn’t walk past and even know they served food. But let me tell you these spots were worth every bite. Simple, local, and delicious. At the end Feliciano gave us some great recommendations for bars and other restaurants to try on our visit which we will be taking advantage of. Can’t recommend this tour enough.
