5.00This tour was fantastic! A perfect mix of history, culture, and amazing tapas. Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable, taking us to authentic taverns I never would have found on my own. The food and wine were delicious, and I learned so much about Barcelona’s traditions. Highly recommend!

5.00This experience was great. The two ladies were very knowledgeable. They made them excursion fun. They were very helpful with my mother who is in her 70s. The tapas restaurants were great. They were so good. We decided to go back for dinner to one of them. Also, I need to know the name of the beer we had thanks April and Jenn.
Extraordinary Tapas!! 5 stars.

5.00Don’t be dissuaded from booking this tour because it only has a few reviews! I’m so glad we didn’t. The timing was perfect for our schedule and we were not disappointed. Jennifer was everything you could ask for in a tour guide. She was sweet, personable and accommodating. We felt like she was a friend from the moment we met her. She went out of her way to find us when we had a little mixup with the meeting spot. We had one person on the tour who didn’t drink and she always made sure he had a non alcoholic drink at each stop. She gave us great background into the history of not only tapas, but the history of Barcelona. She also gave us tips of other things to do and see in Barcelona. We are looking to schedule another tour with her during our stay because of this fantastic experience!
