A memorable experience - One of the best food tours ever! Alex is a terrific guide. She is a wealth of information sharing the culture of Barcelona through its food. We signed up for a small group tour but ended up with just the two of us and Alex. Walking through the old neighborhoods, we learned so much not only about the food and drink, but the history of Barcelona and the impact of hosting the Olympic Games had on today’s city.

Awesome Barcelona walking food tour - The "Tastes and Traditions: Barcelona Spain" tour was a phenomenal culinary and cultural journey through one of the most vibrant cities in the world. Our guide, Ariana, is a gem. Her knowledge of Barcelona's history and food scene was impressive, and her enthusiasm was contagious. She had a way of weaving stories that made each stop memorable and significant. From the bustling markets, historical bakery and to the quaint, hidden tapas bars, every part of the tour felt like a special discovery. Ariana's recommendations were spot on, and she introduced us to some truly incredible dishes. Her friendly and approachable nature made it easy for everyone to relax and enjoy the experience. If you want to taste the heart and soul of Barcelona while learning about its rich traditions, this tour with Ariana is an absolute must! Highly recommend. 🍤🍷
