1.00Came in early and had checking booking. I get there in town early. I have the tickets and confirmation. We get there and we’re not on the list. I showed all proof and they were like we don’t have it sorry go find something else to do. I called tour company and explained my proof and we got there early for this and how this was my elderly mother’s present. They gave zero cares. Only got to take the tour when someone else did not show up. Tour co obviously overbooked and lied tried to blame others. Places toured were great but the whole experience was rough. The co had my cc billed awhile ago and it never showed cancelled in the app. Be aware.
Disappointing food choices.

2.00We had a lovely guide, Lili. The actual venues we stopped at were very interesting, but the food was very lack lustre and was not worth the amount we paid.
Wonderful Tapas and Wine Tour!!!

5.00What a great food tour with tour guide Liliana. I highly recommend this tour to visit the Gothic Quarter and to experience the food, the history with a wonderful group of people. The tapas food and matching wine was excellent. The meeting point was easy to find. This was the last tour of our 12 day vacation and it was a highlight! Thank you for being the best tour of the vacation!
Wonderful evening

Each stop was an authentic gem, with amazing dishes and drinks, showcasing the city’s rich culinary heritage. We learned so much about the history of the city, making the experience not only delicious but also insightful and memorable.
