James was a wonderful guide! He is so enthusiastic, you can tell how much he loves Barcelona. The food and drink was varied and very good. It was too much food for me, but I don't have a big appetite. I would not hesitate to take this tour again.

Ariana presented a fun and informative tour of Barcelona’s food scene. We learnt so much about what to eat, how to order and local etiquette. Plus, some history to put it all into context. <br /><br />This is a great introduction, if you’re a first time visitor to Barcelona or Spain. Don’t eat beforehand - you’ll have more than enough to eat.

Andrea was wonderful! She had the perfect mix of history, culture, food tips in her tour. Our group was a lot of fun too everyone was open minded, conversational and had a good attitude. Andrea also shared lots of advice for each of us based on what we wanted to do next on our trip. I took many of her recommendations and found a few favorites that I’ll definitely be recommending to others. Highly highly recommend this tour.

Super nice food tour with very good explanation about the city of Ariane. <br />She tells many nice extras about Barcelona and you come to neighborhoods where it is not packed with tourists. Highly recommended.
