5.00Mick was a fantastic tour guide who was well versed in history, and in a previous life had been a chef. Who better to guide our group on a food tour of Barcelona. He was quite amiable, and took us to places we would never have discovered on our own. We were introduced to local foods and drinks including some Catalan specialties. There was plenty to eat at each stop that we were quite stuffed by end of the tour. We leaned some history along the way and interesting local facts, and Mick made recommendations for further gastronomic exploration.

5.00Nika was such a great tour guide. She was detailed and organized with her information. We had so many food tastings and learned so much about each one. I have taken other food tours that were not as detailed and educational. Would definitely recommend this tour to anyone. Hopefully they get Nika as well.
