Definitely recommend - Adrien was very knowledgeable and entertaining throughout the whole tour. More tasting options than we expected, we were definitely full by the end of the tour. Not small portions. Whole family had a great experience

Delicious First Day in Barcelona - Our family of 4 (including 2 teenagers) took this tour our first day in Barcelona and it was a great introduction to the city and food we’d be enjoying the rest of our stay. Adrian was an entertaining and informative tour guide. Come with an empty stomach because you will be enjoying several stops with delicious food. Adrian also provided us with recommendations for activities and restaurants we enjoyed the rest of our time in Barcelona. Highly recommend!

Food Food Food - I can't believe I almost didn't do a food tour in Barcelona! Luckily another tour cancelled and I picked this one last minute. Our guide, Adrian, took us on a tour through the market while giving us a lot of different samples. Of course we ventured beyond the market and ate more.

Great itinerary hosting not so great - The stop off locations are great but hosting was average. We began the tour being told the guide was going to cancel as others had dropped out and he didn't do tours for 2 people which didn't make me feel very welcome. Everything was at pace no options to pause to look at points of interest. Bearing in mind this is July and warm when we asked for another drink for which we would pay the fuss was unnecessary.

Have a back up!! - Have a back up plan! Our guide couldn’t get transportation so our tour was cancelled. While I understand “stuff” happens, it was frustrating to wait and wait then get cancelled. Also, I use these tours to get an overview of area and food scene so I can go back and revisit places. Since tour never happened (and could not be re-booked during my trip), was left to my own devices since I did not plan.
