Ariana was a very good guide--enthusiastic and knowledgeable. She introduced us to a selection of native foods, along with anecdotes about each. Fun way to spend three hours!

Feliciano was SO AMAZING! He was so enthusiastic and knew so much about the history of the area. He had a witty sense of humor and made everything so interesting. The restaurants we visited had been operating for many years for good reason...the food and wine was so delicious.
A fantastic way to get a feel for Barcelona. It was so insightful and Alex our tour guide’s enthusiasm for the local produce and for Barcelona was so engaging. So many samples to try and a wide area of the city covered in our tour. A must for anyone, foodie or not, when visiting Barcelona!
Discover how Barcelona’s history and its food go hand-in-hand as you explore the backstreets of the Gothic Quarter and dine at its few remaining authentic tapas bars.
