There's tapas. And then there's tapas. If you are new to the city, finding the REAL thing can be hard.
Our Tapas Tour takes you to venues specially selected for their authenticity, their history and the quality of their tapas. It is as much about ambience as it is about anchovies, as the spirit of Barcelona resides in these humble tapas bars.
Starting in a cozy local wine bar, we stop for a traditional aperetivo, then onto some classic, rustic eateries as well as a more creative and contemporary hang out. On our Tapas Tour, you will experience what its really like to eat and drink like a local in Barcelona.
The tour is for people with a genuine interest in food and an open mind when it comes to new flavours and ideas. Your guide is a local who will tell you about the history of the restaurant, the area and the origin of the dishes you’re eating. There will be a maximum of 6 people on the tour, an intimate group, so it’s like going on a tapas crawl with a bunch of amigos.

Best tapas tour - Paula showed us the real Barcelona

5.00After booking and loving Barcelona Bike Tour ran by Buena Vista I enquired about a tapas tour and I am so glad I asked and found myself on this tour. Paula the guide took my husband and I on a private tapas tour around Barcelona and it was 10/10. Stricly local spots only with no other tourists, absolutely delicious food (that I would have never known to order myself) and a really memorable afternoon. Thank you!

5.00One of the absolute highlights of our time in Barcelona! This tapas tour was the perfect way to experience the city’s food, culture, and energy all in one unforgettable evening. From the moment we started, it felt like being shown around by a local friend rather than a tour guide. We visited a fantastic mix of traditional and modern tapas bars — places we never would have found on our own — and every stop offered something special. The food was incredible: fresh, authentic, and beautifully explained. What really made the tour exceptional was the guide’s passion and knowledge. They shared fascinating stories about Barcelona’s history, neighbourhoods, and food culture, which made each bite even more meaningful. If you want to truly experience Barcelona beyond the tourist spots, this tapas tour is a must-do. Come hungry, leave happy, and expect to discover flavours and places you’ll be thinking about long after the trip ends. Highly, highly recommended!
Taste it!

Ask for Juan Carlos - He's the Best

5.00We lucked out with Juan Carlos for our tapas tour the night before our cruise. He had just wrapped up a bigger tour but was cool with keeping our booking even though it was just the two of us. Juan Carlos took us to three different spots with great food and drinks. First time trying vermouth with brandy and it was a hit. We had several small delicious sandwiches and a variety of seafood small bites that were all really good. He heard we wanted paella but didn't have time before we left, so he went out of his way to get us a small sample from one of the restaurants. That's the kind of guy he is. The sangria and cavas were excellent too. Along the way he showed us some historic spots in the Borne District we would have totally missed on our own. Juan Carlos is kind, interesting, and really knows his stuff. If you get to pick your guide, go with Juan Carlos. You won't regret it.
Top experience in Barcelona..

5.00Wow what an amazing experience! This was hands down one of the highlights of my trip. It was such a unique way to explore the city. The route was perfect, we saw so many beautiful sights and hidden gems. Our guide was great - super friendly, knowledgeable and full of great stories about the city's history and culture. They made the experience feel more personal. And the tapas? Oh my god..so delicious! Everything we had was so flavourful and authentic. I'd 100% recommend this to anyone visiting Barcelona - it's the perfect mix of exercise, fun, food and culture. Gracias!
