Great
I really enjoyed our tour of Barcelona with Ariana Cardenas. She was very knowledgeable about the city and history of the food/drinks. There was a little more walking than expected but still really fun and educational. I'd definitely recommend this tour.

The tour was excellent and included all the foods I wanted to try in Barcelona. We especially enjoyed the seafood paella (with all the shells off). Our guide Hector was enthusiastic and knowledgeable. I highly recommend Devour Tours!

Ariana was such a great guide! Her knowledge of the city, history, and everything food related was wonderful! We had such a great time! It was definitely one of the highlights of our trip! Our only regret is that we didn't do it sooner so that we would have known more earlier.

What a wonderful was to discover the culture of Barcelona with a group of 7 including 3 kids aged 8- 12. Our tour guide did a fantastic job showing us around the market, explaining the history of the market and the roles markets still play in the communities. We enjoyed samples from a variety of merchants, olives, cheese, meats and beverages. Well equipped with maps and photos to explain it all to us. After the market we got to visit historic bakeries with the best croissants in the world. Perfect mix of food, history and culture all ending with a Paella Lunch. Would recommend to families and couples.
