I had a delightful experience with Elvira. She tailored the tour to my interests and was incredibly flexible as the tour progressed. She provided SO much interesting information about not just Barcelona’s amazing culinary offerings but also history and culture. She took me to places I never would have found myself, some spots where she knew the owners who were eager to provide a great experience. I highly recommend booking time with Elvira if you’re lucky enough to be in Barcelona.

Experience Barcelona through the eyes of a local
Have been to Barcelona before but mainly for work and never had the extra time to really explore the city properly. Found GoLocal Barcelona online. What an amazing way to not only explore the city but learn more about its food scene, history, culture and architecture through a walking tour guided by - a local! She shared her personal favourite places and each one was an absolute jewel. Neat little tucked away places I would never have found on my own. Would highly recommend.

Amazing food, amazing guide
We had a wonderful tour with Alex! He was so welcoming and we appreciated his flexibility and care in making sure our young kids also had an enjoyable experience. Beyond the amazing food, he was so knowledgeable and helpful in sharing thoughtful recommendations for the rest of our trip. Would not hesitate to book the tour again!

Enjoyable experience
Enjoyable tour but note that food is not included. I have been on several food tours and that was a first. However, it was a delightful tour and Elvira is a very good tour guide. She takes you off the beaten touristy area which was quite enjoyable!

We paid way too much...
We paid way too much money for this tour. I think doing a food tour needs to really stand out. We have high tastes and the food ordered for us were honestly more like tv dinners and typical American fried food. In hindsight I should have booked one of our favorite restaurants because it still would have been cheaper and more exciting food wise. We did really enjoy hearing our guide’s experiences and history with the community and food. I realized that we have really enjoyed the experience tours with Viator (like about history, etc), but food is too personal. Just my opinion.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts.We’re glad to know you enjoyed Alex native guide’s insights from his years of working with Spanish gastronomy. We undastand that although Alex gave you some elaborate dishes such as Frincando local stew and confit pork ribs, there will be other typical Spanish tapas like fried fresh Andalusian calamary that did not suceed your expectations. Your feedback was very valuable and from now on we are NOT including the food cost in Viator tours so guest can fully choose the tastings. Thank you :)

Best food tour guide in Spain! ELVIRA
My last time in Barcelona was Spring 1969 as I was driving to Sitges. This time I spent 4 nights there with a friend and we hired Elvira for 2 nights of fun, food, and Spanish frolic! She knew where to take the 4 of us, which TAPAS to order, and everyone was amazing! We went to places most tourists would pass on the street! She knew the folks that ran the cafes and restaurants and we were served fast some of the best food and drinks ever!
I would recommend Everyone who travels to Barcelona to hire Elvira for a food tour! She’s so positive, fun AND speaks perfect English! My best 2 nights in Barcelona was with Elvira!!

Family tour in the Gothic quarter
We had a great time on our tour with Alex, who was an incredible guide. From the very beginning, he was gracious, welcoming, and highly knowledgeable about Spanish food culture. The tapas and wine selections were fantastic — especially the paella, which was a real highlight. Highly recommend this experience!

Great experience with Elvira!
We had the pleasure of experiencing a food tour in Barcelona with Elvira, and it was truly exceptional. After spending five days in the city trying to savor as many native dishes as possible, Elvira took our culinary adventure to a whole new level. She guided us to three different local restaurants where we indulged in food and drinks that we would never have ordered on our own. Each dish was a delightful surprise, bursting with authentic flavors.
Elvira's deep knowledge of Barcelona's culinary history added a rich layer to our experience. She shared fascinating stories and insights that we would never have gathered without her expertise. Her personal touch and passion for the city's food culture made the tour incredibly special.
We give Elvira 5+ stars all the way and can't wait to use her services again! If you're looking for an unforgettable food tour in Barcelona, Elvira is the guide you need.

More than a food tour
More than a food tour. Had a wonderful time with Elvira, her knowledge of local food and history was amazing. Elvira took us to places that did not show up on our research before the trip and we’re so thankful that we were able to experience it. Highly recommend this tour for people interested in the culture of Barcelona and not just the food.
