Frederico accommodated my family (8 people) needs and provided a wonderful evening, with some history mixed in. The tapas and dessert were an authentic Barcelona experience, enjoyed by all.
We're delighted to hear your family enjoyed such a memorable evening together. It’s wonderful to know the experience blended authentic local food with fascinating history while catering to everyone's needs. Thank you for sharing your kind feedback — we're so glad this became a special part of your time in Barcelona.
Alan was a fountain of historical knowledge. He gave us some insights into the history and culture of Barcelona that was easy and fun to assimilate. The spots he took us were fun to navigate and the food along the way was wonderful. Highly recommend Alan and the tour of the gothic old town area as well as the stops along the way.
We’re so glad you enjoyed such a fun and insightful introduction to Barcelona’s history and culture! It’s wonderful to hear the stories, hidden corners, and delicious food stops brought the Gothic Quarter to life in such a memorable way — your recommendation truly means a lot to us.
It's taken a bit of time to get over my upset feelings about this tour to post something. I booked this tour for my husband who is a real foodie. Everything was fine up until the day before when our guide reached out stating that due to the time we booked most restaurants would be closed, and asked to meet us in town to change up plans- (which we were fine with and understood). Then he asked us if we'd like to do an extra stop and we agreed. We took a taxi to a restaurant where he was friends with the owner (we paid for the taxi) and proceeded to order multiple dishes of seafood from the menu though i told him I only eat shrimp. Our guide was quite rude to me when he found out that I would not eat any of the seafood dishes and blamed us for not saying something (though we had tried). We thought the point of this excursion was to visit multiple places, but he only took us to this one seafood restaurant. Even though food was part of the tour we ended up footing a good amount of additional money for one stop for food, not an additional stop (aside from the several we were expecting as part of the tour). My husband did say the food was excellent and he enjoyed it. The guide continued to act put out at me when I did not eat at the restaurant. When we left he also acted put out to have to take us around and took us on a brief rambling tour before both parties (most likely happily) agreed to part. I can honestly say this was the one low point to our entire trip to Spain. Please beware and set expectations early, I feel like we were scammed.
Hello Jaime, We’re really glad to hear your husband enjoyed the food and that there were moments during the experience where the local cuisine stood out positively for him. We’re very sorry to hear that other parts of the experience didn’t feel as expected, especially around communication and dietary needs. Your feedback is truly appreciated and will be shared with our local team so we can improve how these details are handled going forward. We do hope we’ll have the opportunity to offer you a much smoother experience in the future. Best regards, Sheenah and the City Unscripted Team
Alan was very fun and personable. His knowledge and love of Barcelona and its food was evident from the start and we enjoyed our time on this tour very much!
We’re so glad you had such a fun and enjoyable time exploring Barcelona! It’s wonderful to hear the passion for the city and its food came through — thank you for sharing this.
Allen was an excellent tour guide on this Tappas adventure. The food he selected was delicious and truly things I would never have selected for myself. But even better than the food was his knowledge of the history of Barcelona and Spain. We so enjoyed the walk around the area and learned so much. The day ended perfectly with the best churro’s made fresh in front of us!
We’re glad that the walk and the stories about Barcelona and Spain made the experience even more special. The day with freshly made churros sounds like the perfect finish! We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience and hope to welcome you back for another adventure in the future.
The market was the best part of the tour. Our guide was knowledgeable about the entire region. Highly recommended!
We’re glad to hear the market was a highlight and that your host's regional knowledge made the experience even more enjoyable. We truly appreciate the recommendation and hope to welcome you again in the future.

The tapas tour was a phenomenal experience, walking the city while hearing its rich history and of course, the tapas and drinks were adored by all! The best part of the tour was our guide Alf, you couldn’t ask for a better guide and person!!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're glad that you had a phenomenal experience exploring the city, enjoying its rich history, and of course, savoring the tapas and drinks. We're especially glad to know that Alf made such a great impression, he's truly one of a kind! We hope to welcome you back for another adventure soon!
Johnathan showed us everything he could with the limited time he had. Walking with him was like walking with an old friend who is showing you around the new neighbor you just moved into. Great sights to see! Great little spots to check out! I’d love to spend a weekend in Barcelona just to see what else he’s got!
It’s wonderful to hear Johnathan made your Barcelona tour feel so personal — his flexibility, warmth, and ability to uncover great sights and hidden spots clearly made it feel like exploring the city with a friend. Thanks for the glowing feedback!
Our guide was excellent. They made it an extremely interesting tour and allowed us to learn a lot. We were able to ask all our questions and she made it very fun.
We’re delighted to hear that your host made the experience both engaging and fun while ensuring you could ask all your questions. It’s wonderful that the experience was not only informative but also enjoyable, allowing you to learn a lot in such an interactive way.
