Fantastic Private Food Tour Boqueria & Old Town’s Market!

5.00Alessandro was a fantastic tour guide. My husband and I really enjoyed the history, food and his company. We toured 3 markets and walked through Old Town and New Town. I wish we had these types of markets in California where we are from. I highly recommend Alessandro if you are looking for a private and much smaller group tour. A++

5.00Such a fun and delicious introduction to Barcelona’s Old City and its cuisine! Alessandro was knowledgeable, personable, and made the whole experience feel relaxed and authentic. Definitely one of the highlights of our three-week trip through Spain. Highly recommend—and we’re already eyeing his other tours for our next visit!

5.00Amazing experience - Henrietta was so knowledgeable and kind. We had a mixup on timing and she was more than willing to accommodate us. We were also able to work in stops for the picky eaters in our family.

5.00We had a wonderful food tour of Barcelona with Henrietta today.. she was so interesting and delightfully engaging! My husband and I can’t say enough about how outstanding she was. She was a wealth of knowledge historically, culturally as well as culinarily . She truly gave us an understanding of Catalonia’s food, history, and geography; and we also obtained a better sense of how to walk around Barcelona. It was a wonderful way to get our bearings on our first day in Barcelona. Thank you! Betsy, Philadelphia, PA
Highly recommended!

5.00Alessandro is very very knowledgeable on the history and archeology as this is his passion. Feel free to ask him anything history related while on tour. He took us to some lovely places and we tried food that we loved. We even went back to one of the places the next day for more! He gave us tips for the rest of our days and he customised the tour for us. We highly recommend him!
Amazing blend of historical and culinary experience
