We had such a lovely time with Hector. He was extremely knowledgeable, engaging and friendly. We learned so much about the city in an easy, fun way. He prioritized family run businesses and the food was simply amazing. I am gluten free which he easily accommodated. My 19 year old also loved it which is a big win :)

Ariana gave us a historical overview of Catalan culture and food and took us places that were owned by people for many generations. Very authentic Barcelona experience including Cava and vermouth. All was delicious. Did involve a lot of walking through the Born and Barceloneta neighborhoods. Highly recommend!
