Great night with locals in Barcelona - My wife and I had the absolute pleasure of joining Alan on the Drinks & Bites in El Born Tour, and it was hands down one of the highlights of our trip to Barcelona! Alan was the perfect guide—knowledgeable, engaging, and effortlessly personable. He struck the perfect balance of sharing just enough history to enrich the experience without overwhelming the fun and laid-back vibe. While the bites were enjoyable, the true stars of this tour were the delicious cocktails and the vibrant, unique bars Alan introduced us to. Our favorite stop was an incredible speakeasy tucked away in El Born. From the moment we stepped in, it felt like we’d been transported to another era. The ambiance was unforgettable, and the expertly crafted drinks were phenomenal. Alan’s expertise shone through in every aspect of the tour. He clearly knows the neighborhood like the back of his hand and took us to hidden spots we never would have found on our own. Each stop was a delightful surprise, and Alan’s enthusiasm for the local culture and mixology made the experience even more enjoyable. This tour is a must-do for anyone looking to experience Barcelona’s nightlife like a local. It’s perfect for couples, friends, or anyone who loves exploring unique bars with a side of fascinating stories. We couldn’t stop talking about how much fun we had and how it felt like we were out for drinks with a good friend who just happened to be a walking encyclopedia of El Born. We highly recommend this tour—and Alan specifically! Don’t miss this unforgettable evening in Barcelona.

Great fast, yet fun tour of Barcelona! - Our family of 8 flew into Barcelona the night before a cruise. We had only a short time to see the City. Our tour guide Octavio met us at our hotel and we had a great walking tour. Six of our family members were ages 24-30 and they really enjoyed and related to Octavio. Since we were late in arriving and hungry Octavio called a restaurant, made reservations, and took us to enjoy Tapas. It was very busy on a Saturday night but we were immediately seated at a lovely table. Octavio explained all about the foods and ordered for us. The meal was heavenly and the conversation even better. It was so great to have a private tour guide that could relate to us, show us things we would enjoy, and fit things into our limited time schedule! Highly recommended!

Barcelona private city tour - We thought it would be nice to schedule a stroll around the gothic quarter on the evening of our arrival day. Boy are we glad we did!! We met up with Sebastian and strolled for 2 hours. The history he told us was outstanding. It was clear to see his love for Barcelona. You won’t be disappointed. Meeting point directions are east with google maps.

Great introduction on night one ! - What a tour, what a guide. Very smart.
Really set the stage for my visit to Barcelona.
I got to see places I would have never discovered on my own.

Last minute cancellation - Cancelled last minute, very disappointed that they did not reschedule or tell us sooner to give us time to book something else.

Scam, stay away - I’m sure this tour was a scam. It was a walking tour that only included the statue of the cat and a stop at a tapas bar. The tour guide was unaware this was to be a magical evening. The guide was a nice man, who tried to discuss history, but had limited knowledge. We were not shown any of the night lights of buildings or monuments as I expected. We did go to a tapas bar. My husband ordered a beer, I ordered water. We had a tapas plate each (suppose to be included), and was told we had to pay for one of the tapas as it was not in the budget even though we only had one alcohol drink and was allowed 2 tapas. It was booked as a 2.5 hr tour. My husband was great and tried to keep the conversation going, but after 1.5 hrs, I ended the torture and called it a night. This negative experience cost $159. They should pay us for our time.

Tour guide no show - Your guide didn’t show and we had to contact him only for him to try to reschedule. He then told us where to go and the places weren’t even open.

Pick Something Else - We did not have this experience as the person did not show up for the tour! We attempted to contact the tour operator multiple times and chatted with Viator on the WhatsApp and even they could not contact the tour operator. This was not a good experience.
