Great experience in Barcelona! - Just got home from our trip to Barcelona - traveled with my college-aged niece and we were lucky to book this tour. Loved it. Tour guide Alex (female) was awesome - she offers a great combo of history, humor, explanations of food and local customs, and local flair. She even gave us some great tips for our subsequent day in Montserrat (not on a tour), which we appreciated. Thank you for a great experience. (It's very pork-heavy, but they accommodated the non-pork eaters nicely.)

Great tour guide! It was fantastic - Ariana hair LED an excellent tour. She was very prepared and gave us thorough history of the gothic district. She was attentive to our needs such as inquiring who was vegan and a non-drinker. She was so thoughtful. At the restaurants we visited, everything was ready and the food was there when we sat down. She told us fascinating stories behind everything we ate. She was mindful to distribute her attention evenly to everyone in the group to make sure everyone was included and enjoying the tour. Afterwards, she gave us great tips for restaurants in the area.

Yummy and fun - Valentina was an excellent tour guide. She was knowledgeable in her history and food selections. We had a ton of food and drink at three different locations that you would probably not normally stop into. She made the tour fun. I would highly recommend if you are in Barcelona.

Amazing tour! - Hector was an excellent guide on this delicious tour! Come with an empty stomach and comfortable walking shoes, as the tour winds its way through the Barri gòtic and stops at three amazing Catalan eateries. Hector impressed upon us the historical context of Barcelona and Catalonia, in a fun manner. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this tour to other folks visiting Barcelona!

Loved the Tapas, Taverns & History Tour with Alexandra - We had a fantastic time with Alexandra during the Barcelona Tapas, Taverns & History Tour. Alexandra was super friendly, insightful and entertained us with her knowledge of the history of the Gothic Quarter. The food tour was also extra interesting with Alex’s stories on the history of each Tapas bar / tavern we visited, while introducing us to the speciality of tapas for that tavern. Even though we had about 8 in our group Alex made each of us feel like we were the only ones in the tour and was so personal. We really enjoyed the tour with Alexandra.
