An amazing way to get to know the best foods of Barcelona and the neighborhoods of El Born and Barcelonetta! We tried several tapas that we would not have tried otherwise and loved them. Jessica did an amazing job explaining the local customs and history around each tapa and drink we tried. The tour was also a great value for the amount of food and drinks we had, plus paella at the end. There was also extra Iberico ham, sausages, and cheeses from our market stop that we were able to take with us at the end as well - which we were able to turn into a picnic dinner with bread we picked up at a local shop. It was no problem at all for my husband who does not drink and my 14 year old daughter to get alternate drinks such as soda, tea, or coffee instead of the alcoholic beverages. Jessica was also happy to recommend restaurants to us at the end of tour. I highly recommend this tour, especially early in your Barcelona trip!

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 :)
