Tasteful Tour - An expertly crafted tour of St Caterina Market with plenty to savor. Hector was a gracious, knowledgeable and personable guide with amazing hospitality. Walking food tour of locally owned bakery and nougat stops through Born and vermouth and paella in Barconalita were memorable.

Great intro tour to Barcelona food scene. - Alex (English) was a great host and a very knowledgeable of Barcelona’s food scene. The tour gave us more confidence when ordering restaurants plus we enjoyed lots of yummy food. The market tour was a highlight and definitely good value for money. Alex kept us entertained with stories of local culture and we really loved the small group experience. Meeting point was easy and Alex helped everyone with transport options at end of the tour.

Great...but a tad too rehearsed - We have been on many city food tours...its a great way to see a city within the context of food. This was among the best in terms of content and food. Alex, our guide, spent a great deal of time in the Barcelona food market describing food on a stall by stall basis, which my wife and I thought was great. I wish more would do that. The other stops along the way were equally good, tasty and interesting. Alex was very knowledgeable, but a little too rehearsed. Had he been a little more relaxed and not sharing jokes/shtick it seems he'd done a million time before, it would have been better. But he knew his stuff, how to cook and the food traditions....also he did not need to present Spanish food as "better" than other countries....a bit off putting. But still good.
