Mobile ticket
This isn’t your average tapas crawl. With just 12 people, this evening tour pairs hard-to-find Catalan specialties with a local guide who knows the difference between tourist tapas and real food culture, including where to find house vermouth poured straight from the barrel. Every bite comes with context: from artisanal deli meats and porró wine rituals to the legendary bomba—Barcelona's edible symbol of resistance. You’ll also gather at Fossar de les Moreres, a sacred square where the guide shares local legends, proving that in Barcelona, food and history are always on the same plate.

5.00We had a wonderful tour with Livia (I think this is how you spell it) today in Barcelona! She was warm, knowledgeable, and made the entire experience fun and engaging. I loved how she shared both the history and the hidden stories behind each spot—we saw so much, but never felt rushed. Her passion and ability to accommodate really shines through. Highly recommend taking a tour with Livia if you want an informative and enjoyable experience in Barcelona! We stopped at 5 locations and tried some great dishes and drinks!

5.00I went on a tapas tour with my friends, and I absolutely loved it. We tried ibérico ham with an amazing bread with tomato and olive oil, drank wine with porró, and even tried some sweets. We loved the cheese tasting with wine and sampling typical local products from Barcelona. I highly recommend this tour.
