Plaza del Pi
You’ll begin your tour at one of the most iconic tapas bars in the city. Serving locals with delicious fare for decades, this spot is a must for any food lover. You’ll sample a perfectly paired aperitif along with a hand-picked selection of cured meats and cheeses. You’ll also try a true classic Spanish potato dish - a perfect introduction to the city’s specialties.
Gothic Quarter (Barri Gotic)
Before or after your introduction to one of Barcelona’s most historic spots (depending on if your tour takes place in the morning or the afternoon), it’s only fitting to take a stroll through the Gothic Quarter.

5.00Feliciano is a SUPERB tour guide with so much knowledge, like having your own historian with you as you explore the beautiful Gothic Quarter of Barcelona. The tapas and wine choices were delicious, the flow of the tour as you move from location to location is well thought out. From beginning to end a wonderful tour! Feliciano makes it so much fun! 🤩
Fantastic!!!

5.00We decided to start our 4 nights in Barcelona with Devour’s El Born tapas tour. This was a great way to explore the area and one of the highlights of our trip. Our guide Hector was a wealth of knowledge of Barcelona history, food and wine. He took us to 3 different restaurants where we had a total of about 8 courses of food along with a variety of local drinks - wine, beer, cava, vermouth. Highly recommend this tour to anyone that visits Barcelona - we went back to a couple of the restaurants a second time. Hector gave us lots of other suggestions on things to do in the city.
Great tour! Erik was so...

2.00Aside from our guide Jordi, who was fantastic and a pleasure to be with, I have to say the overall value of the tour did not deliver on what was promised. I was surprised that Jordi at the beginning of the tour mentioned that this was a history tour and that we would spend an hour walking around the Gothic Quarter. This was fun and interesting but it is not in the tour description. The description says that for the PM tour - 3 tasting stops with 10+ tastes and 5 drinks. Enough food for a full dinner. This is what we received: 1st stop: charcuterie and cocktail. 2nd stop: Fried potato, fried peppers, a meatball and a small glass of beer. Also of note, the establishment initially declined offering water to be served with the food, after some pressing Jordi was able to get us water. 3rd stop: A small glass of Gazpacho(not in season for Fall),One Canelones, which would described as Spanish manicotti, 2 glasses of wine and a very small dessert. In summary 4 drinks and an extremely disappointing variety of Tapas which included no seafood. We did a food tour in Athens that was almost half the price and we finished that 3 hour tour completely stuffed and sent home with leftovers. Disappointing, would not recommend.
A must do tour in Barcelona!!
