5.00Ophelia, our guide, was awesome. We connected from the start and felt more like strolling and eating tapas with an old friend in the neighborhood!!! Each place she took us was phenomenal, the sampling of tapas was very good and the cafe/bar/tapas owners were gracious and caring. Thank you!!!!!!
Knowledgeable with good portions

5.00We had one night in Barcelona and felt we got a great glimpse of the food and history through this tour. Ophelie was very knowledgeable in the area and food. She provided fun information that tied together to other parts of the tour. She was very interactive with asking us what we knew about the city and cared about what we wanted to learn. The food itself was very yummy with great portions. We got drinks at each location, often with several options. The food was a set item but my entire group left full and didn't even eat all the food that was offered as the portions were either generous or just right. There were bathrooms along the way which were clean and convenient. Our tour was slightly longer than the estimated 3 hours, we were having such a great time with Ophelie and the other family on the tour. I would highly recommend this tour and guide.
Highly recommended

5.00This was our 3rd food tour...we have enjoyed them all. A great way to discover local specialties and socialise a bit. All the food was delicious but I was a bit disappointed that the dessert was gelato (even though it was nice) because I was hoping for a traditional baked item. Includes three alcoholic drinks...all pleasant but would have been nice to try the local Barcelona digestif (a kind of herbal grappa)
A taste of Barcelona

5.00Ophelia was a great tour leader, we all had a great time! We were stopping often to take photos and she was very patient even though we were making us late to our next stop. She engaged with us and we really enjoyed her information she gave us and enjoyed her company.

5.00We had a wonderful Tapas tour with our amazing guide, Andrea. She is such a loving, joyful, and engaging person, which made the whole experience truly memorable. Andrea shared interesting stories and insights that made the tour both fun and educational. She was also incredibly friendly and caring with our kids, making them feel included and happy throughout. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide — **highly recommended!**
Disappointing, Rushed Tour with Orphélie

2.00The food itself was pretty good, but the tour was a big disappointment. Our guide, Orphélie, rushed through the entire thing. She walked far ahead of the group the whole time and barely shared any information about the city or the food. There was almost no interaction or storytelling, and it felt more like trying to keep up than enjoying a guided experience. We even finished an hour early because she said she had to be somewhere else. Overall, the tour felt rushed and like a bit of a rip-off. Honestly, I would’ve been better off just finding a “top 5 local foods” blog and doing it myself.
Great experience
