Barcelona Cultural Walking Tour was absolutely outstanding. This tour was extremely informative, beautifully paced, and such a memorable way to experience the city. The tapas and drinks were delicious, and they added the perfect local flavor to the cultural and historical experience. Alasdair was an exceptional guide. He was knowledgeable, engaging, thoughtful, and made the history of Barcelona come alive in a way that felt both meaningful and enjoyable. You can tell he truly cares about giving guests a rich and authentic experience. This is a must-do tour in Barcelona. My only recommendation is that everyone should book it as soon as they arrive, because it gives you such a great foundation for understanding and enjoying the city. The take-away guide is also an added bonus and a wonderful resource to keep exploring after the tour. Highly recommend!
We had the good fortune to spend 3 hours with Moises learning about Barcelona’s food traditions, the city’s history, and tasting some of its best food and drink. He is a positive and engaging person who is a joy to be with. He includes everyone in the conversation and genuinely cares about his clients having a fantastic experience. Time in Barcelona was all too short, but this itinerary covers a lot and made the absolute most of the time. The restaurant in Santa Caterina market had an eggplant dish that I am still dreaming about!
I highly recommend this tour, and our guide Moises. He gave us lots of history and local information, answered all our questions, and showed us some amazing food spots that we ended up going back to for full meals. He was fun and engaging and helped us see the authentic Barcelona. Every food and beverage we tried was delicious, and Moises did a great job of including our 10yo son even if the adults were sampling wine or vermouth. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour and our time with Moises in Barcelona! !Gracias!
10/10 recommend! Moises and his team are so knowledgable and patient and offer great insight on local hot spots, as well as historical landmarks and sites. Great way to get to know the city.

Moisés was my tour guide. He was very interactive and very knowledgeable. He took us to great food spots. He also made sure we knew not to fall into some tourist traps on la rambla. I would definitely book with him again.
