Luke was a great tour guide and we loved all of the places he shared with us. This was our favorite food tour of the ones we’ve done.

Christine_D

A must do tour! After only landing a few short hours before this was a great start to our vacation. Dom took us to some really great top bars, as well as walking around the Gothic learning about the history and unique events that happened here. The drinks and food at each were absolutely delicious. Afterwards, he also gave us information about other restaurants and wine to try during our stay in Barcelona. The amount of time at each stop perfect and you didn’t feel rushed. Would highly recommend booking this.

Out of all of our wonderful tours throughout Italy, France and Spain, by far my most memorable and fun tour was with Alex in Barcelona! Alex combined his incredible knowledge of the history and trivia of the area with great food, drinks and humor. He took us to out-of-the-way spots that we would have never found on our own and shared his knowledge of the food and drinks in that region of Spain that we were taste tasting. I loved his sense of humor and ability to connect with each of us in the group. I would HIGHLY recommend this tour (ask for Alex!), and don’t eat before you go! We were all so full after our tour that we didn’t need to have dinner!!

Absolutely amazing! My tour just ended up being 2 people + the guide so it felt very special. Andrea was amazing - she was incredibly knowledgeable about history but also passionate about food and was great at explaining everything we ate and its cultural significance. All the food was so so good and the atmosphere in the restaurants was perfect. Highly recommend!

Eric_H

Everything about this tour was perfect. We met our guide, Feliciano, and quickly began a walking history tour. He was shaking at bringing old history into a context of recent events and the present. He added amazing color and stories to every experience. We then moved into the food tastings. Delicious at every step and a focus on older established restaurants that had their own history and stores. Brief walks between each location were perfect for digesting. Its a lot if food! And the beverages - wines, vermouth, and more - unforgettable. Do this on day one to get your bearings on the city and the food options!
