Foody tour of Barcelona - Montse was our guide on a food tasting tour. She was very informative and knew the area very well. She had great passion for her work and tried our best to get the taste of the culture we were involved with. I highly recommend her as a guide for anyone interested in Barcelona foody tours

A Market Place for food lovers! - So many stalls. So many options. Only one stomach. From raw oysters to chocolate strawberries. From tapas to dried fruits. So many jamon stalls. Don’t know where to begin? Go down aisle by aisle and see what screams to you first. And then repeat.

Amazing - Great Experience. Very knowledgeable. Well rounded food sampling. Daniele did a great job navigating through large crowded areas. And balanced the trip out with some quieter areas. Over all would do it again.

Amazing experience - We had the most amazing experience with our guide! She made us feel like family, and tailored the tour to our taste. My 10 year old daughter enjoyed it as well. Lots of great information, and a fun time tasting the local delicacies. I definitely recommend this tour.

Small tour turned private - We were met by our guide, Olga, and the predetermined place of Placa Real, exactly on time. Olga started our walking tour through the old city explaining the rich history of the neighborhood. Our first tapas stop was amazing. We had ordered several dishes that were recommended by Olga and loved every one. Of course, there was a nice glass of a regional sangria to accompany. Although Olga was Russian, she was very fluent in Spanish and certainly knew her stuff. At first we thought that it was a bit expensive EU 200 for 2, but then realized it included all food and drink. By the time we got to our 3rd tapas bar, we had a hard time trying to sample more food. Of course, not so with the sangria. We ended with a wonderful gelato bar and then bid goodbye to our wonderful Olga. We would highly recommend booking with this company.

Worst experience - Absolutely the worst experience ever. They are so incompetent. Not only did the guide arrive too late, wasting our time but also did not speak the right language. I am never again booking with this company.
