This is not a big historic…

IMPORTANT: Go to the "font farola" located in Poble Sec (there are others elsewhere in town)! We meet on the corner of Avinguda del Paral·lel & Ronda de Sant Pau. Here you will find one of the city's old "font farolas" - an old fountain/streetlamp, beside a hotel and ATM. Don't be late! : )

Amazing Tapas Tour with The Barcelona Taste - We absolutely loved our tapas tour! Tito was amazing, and our group was thrilled to dine at 3 small and wonderful tapas bars, the Poble Sec neighborhood. Getting to experience a neighborhood outside of the really touristy areas was a welcome treat. Each tapas bar brought a different flavor to their offerings. The food and wine were phenomenal at all three places. Tito was so warm, friendly & knowledgeable. We loved the small group size and have even kept in touch with the new friends we made on our tour. I'd highly recommend this tour for a lovely evening out in Barcelona!

Walking Tapas & Wine Tour a Highlight of our visit to Barcelona - Adria was an amazing tour guide and made our first night in Barcelona a highlight. He was very personable and provided interesting facts about the history, culture, and of course the wonderful local tapas and wine tastings along our walking exploration of the city.

Great food experience and fine company - We had a fun filled food journey with Esther last night as we visited three food establishments that fed our bodies and our spirits as we learned and tasted the rich and wonderful flavors of Barcelona and Spain. We visited small restaurants that served very local foods, each in a warm environment with lots of explanations of the food, how it was prepared and how it reflects the Iberian culture. We learned about the complexity and diversity of Iberian hams as well as sourcing issues for Spanish wines. Maybe most importantly we laughed and learned from each other. Esther is a great teacher and her love of food and life engaged us all and got our Barcelona food adventures off to a great start.

Stop what you’re doing and book this tour!! - Our guide, Allison, was absolutely wonderful - knowledgeable, entertaining and beyond generous! The food and wine pairing were off the chain delicious at each location we stopped. Communication with The Barcelona Taste before we arrived about some dietary restrictions was excellent and Allison somehow kept up with several people’s restrictions through the tour with ease! I was enjoying so much I didn’t even take pictures - that’s saying something!! Cannot recommend this group enough!!!

Great tour, great guide! - Amazing tour with Adria! Our guide has shown us hidden gems of Poble Sec - an area previously unknown and unvisited despite multiple previous trips to Barcelona. Restaurant pick was top notch, food and drink was great and in great quantity. We have discovered the tapas we've never had before and would not have dared to order otherwise. There was choice for everyone. Adria made us feel welcome, as a group of friends, the tour exceeded expectations!

A perfect start to our time in Barcelona! - Our family took this wonderful tour just hours after landing in Barcelona. The goal was to demystify the whole tapas scene. What we got was so much more! Our time with our guide, Noah, made a huge difference in our exploration of this amazing city. We found the food and wine to be a delight at each of our stops. But… it was Noah’s passion for the food, history, and people of Barcelona that made this experience so memorable.
