We had a fantastic time on our tour with Alex Mc. Thanks to Youtube that led us to find devour tour. Highly recommend doing this food tour on your first day of visit. It is a good orientation of the foods you should be looking out for while on the trip and the best part about it, not just appreciate the taste but also learn and appreciate the roots of its origins or how/why it was created. Surely memorable and delicious!

Our walking tour with Alex M.was a wonderful way to spend a morning/early afternoon eating our way through Barcelona! Alex’s background in the food industry was invaluable as he was able to speak about the quality and preparation of the food/drink we sampled. Each stop we made highlighted the best of what that type of food had to offer us. Our family of four (including two teenagers) enjoyed Alex’s sense of humor, expert knowledge, and love of Catalan food!

Great
This was an exceptional food tour. Hector, our guide, was passionate about Spanish food, wine and culture and knew so much. Without the tour, I would have walked and walked around old town and Barceloneta and would have found nothing! There is a labyrinth of paths and alley ways. I knew this tour met at Santa Caterina market and booked a hotel close to this so I could easily walk to it. I really enjoy markets in any city and this market was easy to navigate ie not too big. We had cava, cheeses, hams. Then walked to a patisserie and other places and then walked to Barceloneta for a lunch of paella. I would definitely recommend this tour.
