What To Expect
Meet your guide at the Plaça Sant Jaume in Barcelona's Gothic Quarter to begin this 3-hour culinary walking tour. As you head to your first tapas bar of the day, chat with your local guide about Barcelona's cultural legacy, its gastronomy, and the historical landmarks as you see. Stroll the streets where Antoni Gaudí and Pablo Picasso once walked as you get to know the history and the flavors of the Catalonian capital city.. Jostle for space with locals in some of Barcelona's most vibrant tapas bars and learn about tapas etiquette, like how to order and how to share, from your guide. Sample dishes like Iberian ham, various cheeses from around Spain, pimientos de padrón, the spicy patatas bravas, traditional grilled bread with tomato, fresh octopus, and several other dishes accompanied by fine local wine pairings and the best company. After a sip and a nibble, it's time to move onto the next spot and repeat the delicious process. Visit four of Barcelona's best tapas bars/restaurants in total, then bid your guide farewell at the end of the excursion with a full stomach and a deeper understanding of Catalonian cuisine and culture. Vegetarian options are available, and food allergies and preferences can be accommodated — simply list them in the Special Requirements field when booking. Private tour available.

5.00Wonderful experience that exposed us to different tapas that we would not have tried on our own. Our host (I think it was Roberto) was amazing and very engaging. Would highly recommend.

5.00Exceptional experience. Oriol, our tour guide, was personable, knowledgeable and not overbearing. He gave us a great walking history of the Gothic Quarter, the Roman area and the Born area. The variety snd quality of the local tapas venues and selections were great, and the wine, vermut, porro and cava we sampled were fabulous. We had the pleasure of being accompanied by the principals of the tour company who treated us like old friends. I’d do this again in a heartbeat. But first, a nap.

4.00It was a good way to sample Catalan food and explore Gothic Quarter and El Born. Our group was fun and fantastic! Berta, our tour guide was accommodating and answered any questions we may have. Our tour finished in less than two hours. Would have been nice if the tour ended with cup of coffee and a dessert. We went to three tapas bars/restaurants. Not too fond of Vidrios Cristales. The selection of tapas/food served were not to die for, although the red vermouth was refreshingly nice. Good tour overall, but I suggest for the tour guide to provide more historical info about the points of interests, areas, or Barcelona during the walk instead of just going from point A to point B for food. In addition, coffee and dessert should be a a standard or automatically included in the tour. And paella, too!
Perfect guide, “meh” food

5.00We loved our guide Berta, a local that was knowledgeable and funny and kind. However I thought the food was just “meh okay.” For the price, I wanted to be “wow” -ed.
Great way to explore Barcelona
