We had a wonderful time with Muri our guide during the secret food tours in Barcelona. We celebrated our friend’s birthday and we had an incredible time all together. Spots and vibes during the tour felt really local and authentic, the market’s choice amused us and food was astonishing. I highly recommend this tour.

A fantastic experience! Muri was a perfect guide: not only did she let us discover some glimpses and typical Barcelona bars, but, with her skill and sympathy, she made us have a great time, making us spend a wonderful, unforgettable day! I recommend anyone who wants to visit this beautiful city to contact secret tours and take a tour with Muri. Of course, he won't regret it! Muchas gracias ♥️
Super fun tour!

Muriel was a great guide and this was a great intro to Barcelona. We went to 4 areas to try some classics of the area. She had the right balance of information but not overload.
Good

It was good but far walking with really only 4 stops and the last one was not very tasty. I have been on many secret food tours and this was my least favorite.
Excellent!!

Three generations enjoyed this experience together! Educational and a lot of fun. They were accommodating to an under age child in terms of sangria. It was the best tasting paella that we had in both Madrid and Barcelona.
Excellent tour

Muriel, our guide, was terrific! She showed up early, was incredibly personable and knowledgeable about the food we sampled, and the city in general, and had a don of practical and real world experience. We thoroughly enjoyed our day with her. Her English was also superb.
