Good food and drink, and fun way to see part of Barcelona!
Kimberly_Q, 28-09-2022
We loved our tour with Natalie! She gave us great descriptions of the food and wine we had and took us on a great walk through the Gothic Quarter. Delicious food and wine, and fun cultural experience. Highly recommend!
Good food tour, good guide
Taylor_B, 26-09-2022
We thought this was a great food tour of Barcelona - went to four places and tried a variety of foods. I was nervous about it being fish heavy based on other reviews, but it was not. Each place we visited was small and unique, something we probably would not have tried otherwise, but each was delicious. Our guide Daniel was very kind and informative.
Food and Fun!
Mona_M, 26-09-2022
So much incredible food and fun! We visited 4 bars/restaurants each with something different to offer. Our guide, Natalie, was such fun and informative! We would do this again!
Must do! Highly highly recommend!
Michael_P, 25-09-2022

It was a wonderful tour...
Jerome_B, 30-09-2022
It was a wonderful tour but visiting through the Gothic Qtr was the favorite for me. I was awed as I realized that I was walking in a place that others had walked for many hundreds of years before you. Our guide was outstanding as he was knowledgeable and approachable. Recommend taking this tour early in your visit to Barcelona, take note of what interest you, what food or drink you enjoyed and then come back and explore deeper!
Fun for a first-timers in Barcelona

Brenda_B, 19-12-2022
Love love love this tapas tour! We were joined by another pair of travellers so the size of 6 was really just nice to make this tour cozy yet lively at the same time. We explored 4 different tapas bars and all the food and also wine we had were so damn delicious! We really hoped that we had a bigger stomach because the food that Daniel introduced us to were all so delicious!
Tapas for us.

Great experience with local Tour Guide

The tour started on time we just waited a couple of minutes to some other people that were arriving late. We first went to this amazing bodega were they served caneloni. I thought this was italian but apparently catalan have a thing for these. They eat it during a special holiday. Then we got to drink from a thing called Porron: so incredible! Got almost all the wine on my shirt but still was so much fun! The tour guide was so cool and answered all of our questions as she told us about every things we were seeing as we walked through the beautiful barcelona streets. The last place was the best! I have never eaten an octopus this tasty. Thank you so much for a truly unforgettable experience!
Excellent value, fun and delicious

Natalie is an incredible host and led us to wonderful restaurants while explaining history and culture along the way. One was so good we booked it for New Years Eve dinner - spectacular experience.
Wonderful selection of tapas and drinks
Alagu_M, 05-01-2023
Natalie was a great host. She was able to provide history about the city and the restaurants, while making the food/drinks even more fun than they already were. If you are looking for a great event for your first night to help you plan out the next few days, this is the one for you.
Best Family Evening!
