This is a great way to see behind the scenes in a city and eat delicious local food Sophia was full of little facts and interesting history. I really recommend going on this tour with her
Great tour of old town and unique areas. Vincent was a wonderful tour guide with lots of information about tapas and area.
Knowledgeable and friendly guide. We are so thankful we took this tour! Plenty of local foods to taste and just enough walking to get an overview of the area.
Had a great tour of 2 markets and other good stops along the way. Fun & informative. Francisco our guide was fabulous, couldn’t wish for a better tour guide.
The meeting point for this tour was VERY difficult to find!! If you aren’t familiar with Barcelona you would find it very difficult to find the mosaic for the meeting point that is on the ground. The food was very minimal as compared to other food tours we’ve been on.
Extremally knowledgeable guy (so sorry forgotten your name). Great way to get to know local food and a bit of a city. Had lovely time.
