Bene was an excellent tour guide and because it was a rainy day the other participants could not make it so it essentially became a private tour ?

Alexandra the guide is simply outstanding. Her knowledge of Barcelona's food scene — from the market stalls to the stories behind each product — is impressive, but what really sets her apart is her ability to transmit that passion to the group. She made every stop feel meaningful, not just delicious. Enthusiastic, well-prepared, and genuinely engaging. Highly recommended.

Excellent walking tour. It was a first for the wife and I. We were shown and got to experience all different types of excellent foods. We were taught the whys and what for on different items and locations. Alex our guide was not only patient with our questions but has a great personality and warmth that made us feel like we were with an old friend. He was the "icing on the cake"! In addition, he helped all of us on the tour with giving us a map of places he recommended. If you are new to Spain like we are, take this tour!

My 14-year old son and I took the Ultimate Barcelona Food Tour with Hector. He was an outstanding local guide, who taught us about Catalan history, gastronomy and unique things about the local areas and vendors we visited. We were in a very small group and had plenty of time to ask questions, take photos and enjoy the food. We would both highly recommend Devour and Hector. We’ll return for the afternoon tapas tour when my son is older!

Hector made this an exceptional tour. His explanations about the food and history of the places we visited were thoughtful and engaging, and his humor added a nice touch that kept things interesting. The food selections were all delicious and offered a great variety at each stop. Overall, a highly recommended tour.
