This food tour and our guide Jordi immerse us in the history, geography, culinary delights, and culture during this three hour in depth, food experience.
It was among our favorite Tours, we have taken with this company, and we have taken many, although on the “Walks” side.
We wholeheartedly and enthusiastically recommend Geordie as a guide and this tour as an introduction to Barcelona.

Yesterday, my partner and I enjoyed a wonderful culinary tour in Barcelona. Our guide Alexandra (Alex) was absolutely amazing. She spoke clear and fluent English, provided detailed and passionate explanations, and took us to fascinating places we likely wouldn't have discovered on our own. She ensured that each person in our small group of seven felt respected and cared for.
We highly recommend this experience—it completely transforms your vacation. We suggest doing something similar in any major city you visit.

This was such a fun tour! Mick was a great and knowledgeable guide, and the massive variety of stops, including a few that opened specifically for the tour, gave us a fantastic experience without the crowds that large tourist centers can see. Cannot recommend highly enough, and I will definitely check to see if Devour tours are available at my future travel destinations.
