Discover Spanish food & Barcelona history. As we venture through narrow back alleys & historic squares, we’ll learn about Barcelona from Roman times to the medieval golden era. With 3 stops in distinct restaurants we’ll also show you the broad variety of tapas!
After meeting in the Roman heart of the city it is time to build up your appetite! We will start our history walk through the oldest part of Barcelona: the Gothic Quarter. Our first stop is a traditional pinchos bar: snacks connected by cocktail stick to a slice of bread.
Afterwards we´ll pass through the medieval center: El Born. Learn about craftsmen & rich merchants of that time who left an impressive legacy with their palaces & the Basilica of Santa Maria del Mar. Our next tapas bar is known for its regionality - all the food comes from local fields & farms. We will try a variety of elaborated & high quality tapas.
After a desert stop you´ll have seen the old town of the city while having tried out a range of local food.

5.00A highly recommended tour! We did the tour as a family and the tour guide was incredibly nice! It was not an 08/15, but you noticed that a lot of time and love goes into the tour. The restaurants that were chosen were super delicious and you could empathize with the Spanish feeling! Also the informative part has not been neglected! We learned a lot about Barcelona, which was really exciting and interesting. It is a super nice tour that I can recommend to anyone.
Gran tarde, Gran guia, Comida deleciosa

5.00Our guide, Christian, was prompt, knowledgable and had a wonderful personality. We were a group of 8 people and the tour became private. The food stops provided tastings of different types of foods and were of high quality and generous. We can't say enough about this wonderful tour! We decide to do a walking tour after our flight landed in the morning (so we could stay awake during the day and better adjust to the time difference). We knew we'd fall asleep on a bus tour and it was unlikely that our hotel rooms would be ready early. So, taking the walking tour at 1pm was great after our long flight and the food (and drinks) were more than enough for lunch. The tour ended at 4pm. We returned to our hotel, unpacked, had a very light dinner and went to sleep. Thanks so much Christian!

5.00This is my first time to do a guided tour with Airbnb and I am so happy that I tried something new. Unlike any other organized tours I did in the past, my time with Christian was informative, engaging, and heartwarming. I LOVED it. It was like spending quality time with a good friend who showed me around the town where you wouldn’t get to see on your own. He is genuine, knowledgeable, open-minded, and considerate. There were only four people in the group (excluding Christian) and our time was intimate. We stopped by a cute cafe for a drink in the middle of tour and the conversation was rich. From this experience, I even made new friends who I exchanged the contact info with. At the end, I was thinking this is why I like to travel!!!! Thank you, Christian!!!! It was the best ever!

5.00Our experience with Christian was outstanding! His knowledge of Barcelona´s history was impressive and the way he explained us the secret spots was entertaning and very refreshing! Even though we have been to Barcelona a few times before, we still discovered new favourite places. The highlight was the food. Christian took us out to a couple of nice traditional restaurants with a pleasant ambience and provided us with explanations about the menu. Always considering our personal preferences. Overall this was a fantastic tour and I recommend it for visitors that appreciate an added value and personal touch on their tours. It´s very easy to connect with Christian. Thanks for this great day!
Great food AND learning

So much fun!

5.00Lovely combination to discover Barcelona! We spent a great time with our guide Michael who showed us beautiful historic spots in the old town. His story telling was fascinating and he explained us many details about the Spanish food during the three stops. We particularly loved the pintxos! All the restaurants were well selected. We had a wonderful time! Thank you!
