We loved our food tour with Ariana! Not only did she introduce us to our favorite treat in Barcelona (XuXu) but we also learned so much about the local culture, history, and Gaudí. Arianna was incredibly personable and made sure our group connected over delicious food, drinks, and the unique vibe of Gràcia. This was truly one of the highlights of our vacation. Thank you for being such an amazing host!

Vera was a wonderful guide and we loved this tour of markets and great places to eat! We also learned a lot about Barcelona’s history through its food. My 15 year old son declared it was the best thing we did in Barcelona! Gracias Vera.

Tour was great and Hector was amazing. It was exactly as described-more than just the food, you got a history lesson and Hector knows the city.

Bene was a wonderful guide, and we had the best time on our tour. My husband and I are reveling with our three teenagers, and Bene kept things fun and engaging. Every tasting was delicious. We would do this tour again and recommend it for anyone visiting Barcelona.
