Barcelona Food Tour—a visit to 3 of the 39 food markets in Barcelona - We had a wonderful food tour of Barcelona with Henrietta today.. she was so interesting and delightfully engaging! My husband and I can’t say enough about how outstanding she was. She was a wealth of knowledge historically, culturally as well as culinarily . She truly gave us an understanding of Catalonia’s food, history, and geography; and we also obtained a better sense of how to walk around Barcelona. It was a wonderful way to get our bearings on our first day in Barcelona. Thank you! Betsy, Philadelphia, PA

Highly recommended! - Alessandro is very very knowledgeable on the history and archeology as this is his passion. Feel free to ask him anything history related while on tour. He took us to some lovely places and we tried food that we loved. We even went back to one of the places the next day for more! He gave us tips for the rest of our days and he customised the tour for us. We highly recommend him!
