Lots of great Barcelona Food, Drink and History - great tour - learned more about barcelona and got to try a lot of delicious food and drinks in some very charming places. Our tour guide was great, we even made a quick stop to see the ruins of a roman temple which was a surprise. One thing is a little misleading - the tour mentions la Boqueria Market , but all we did was do a quick walk through the front of the market while the tour guide told us everything was overpriced. So maybe a title change is in order. All in all definitely recommend

Wine was even better than the wine tasting tour we went on earlier in our Barcelona trip- so cool to see such old places - This tour was so much fun and we very much so enjoyed all of the food and drinks we were able to try. Kyra was SUPER knowledgeable and fun to talk with - she was our favorite guide on all tours we went on in Barcelona (and we did 6 different tours!!). At the end during our last meal, we were left wanting a little more Cava and were able to split a bottle with another couple, which was such a nice option. Afterwards we had time to explore the market and surrounding areas on our own. Highly recommend booking this!

Awesome - We got extremely lucky with getting our guide Cam exclusively to ourselves. He took his time to explain to us in detail the rich culture and history of Barcelona and answered all of our questions. We made 4 stops- all the tapas and the wine pairings were very unique. I got introduced to Vermut and loved it. This experience is a unique gateway to the rich Spanish culture. I highly recommend. Thank you so much Cam for the awesome experience.

La Boqueria Market - Closed on Sundays - This tour was good, but we were really excited to see La Boqueria Market and unfortunately it is closed on Sundays. We scheduled the tour for a Sunday and felt that this tour title was a bit misleading, given we could not really go in to La Boqueria Market. We recommend making that more clear to visitors in the future. Otherwise, the tapas were delicious and the bits of historical context were helpful.

Could be better - Francisco was fantastic. Knowledgeable and charismatic. First place was great, second not worth the visit, third place, PlaB, had the best patatos, and the last location, Llamber, was awful. Probably the most expensive one and everything we ate was not edible. Black Ink rice was gross. Shrimp was not fresh. The canolini was not palatable. Pains me that places don't put forth more effort in their food. Hope it gets better
