We had a fantastic time with Hector! He was gloriously entertaining and full of so many historical and interesting facts that kept us engaged through the entire experience! From markets, to delicious tapas, to a fantastic paella…our minds and tummies were so satisfied!

James was a wonderful guide! He is so enthusiastic, you can tell how much he loves Barcelona. The food and drink was varied and very good. It was too much food for me, but I don't have a big appetite. I would not hesitate to take this tour again.

Ariana presented a fun and informative tour of Barcelona’s food scene. We learnt so much about what to eat, how to order and local etiquette. Plus, some history to put it all into context. <br /><br />This is a great introduction, if you’re a first time visitor to Barcelona or Spain. Don’t eat beforehand - you’ll have more than enough to eat.
