5.00It is not often you can experience such an intimate tour as the one we enjoyed last night with our guide Brian. He was knowledgeable, sociable, funny, and a great human being to spend an evening with.

5.00Wonderful in every way! We couldn’t think of a better way to explore the Gothic Quarter and Markets than with our private tour guide, Simon who led us to several amazingly, quaint and delicious places where we tasted our way through the afternoon. (Not to mention plenty of cava and wine) Their knowledge of the area was perfect and we learned a little about the history and even some current events. We would highly recommend the tour, and Simon.
Everything so delicious!!

5.00Mateo was very accommodating with our selective group and brought us to the market and some truly authentic local spots. We sampled many different things that we wouldn’t have tried otherwise, and everything tasted amazing. He also explained some history and architecture while walking from one place to the next. Mateo really made this tour a 10/10!
So worth it for food lovers

5.00This tour really exceeded my expectations as someone who loves exploring different cultures through food. Our guide Diego took us to three amazing tapas spots that were off the beaten path and far from the usual tourist crowds. The first place had such a cozy, authentic vibe and the tapas were honestly delicious, it really stood out. Diego suggested some local favorites and even helped us order, which made everything so easy. We tried a bit of everything and every bite was full of flavor. I’d definitely recommend this tour to anyone wanting a more local and authentic tapas experience. Thank you for such a great time!
The perfect start in Barcelona

5.00We kicked off our week in Barcelona with a food tour guided by Javier. It was just as advertised and such a great way to get oriented, discover more about Catalan flavors, and benefit from having a local help us step into tiny spots where speaking fluent Spanish really makes a difference. Definitely recommend including this experience in your trip!
So full and so happy

5.00Our time with Mateo was really fun! He took us to some of his favorite places in Barcelona for pinxos and to a very cool wine bar we would have never found by ourselves. We also tried crema catalana and it was incredible. The conversation flowed easily and we finished the tour completely full.
Eating like a local

5.00Clara was incredible! We felt totally at ease from the start, honestly like we were just hanging out with a close pal. She took us to some fantastic hidden gems with huge servings, and we tried so many unique, tasty dishes that we definitely would’ve overlooked on our own.
A Delicious Tour

5.00We truly enjoyed our tour with Marina. She was kind, well-informed, and brought so much neighborhood history into the culinary experience that it felt like we were enjoying two visits in one. We valued her guidance in navigating past the tourist traps and presenting us with dishes and places we wouldn’t have chosen by ourselves. It was an easygoing and engaging way to discover the city and its food culture: we left satisfied, cheerful, and far more informed about Barcelona.
We loved it

5.00Rafael guided our group to some incredible local spots, each offering a true taste of authentic tapas culture. Even as a picky eater, I found myself enjoying everything thanks to his care and attention—he made sure everyone felt included, offering great alternatives when something wasn’t to our taste. It was a relaxed, flavorful evening that made us feel like locals discovering hidden gems.
What an amazing day!
