The Perfect Blend of History, Local Culture, and Incredible Food!
Jessica, was an outstanding guide mixing a combination of History for the area that we were in, along with a description of the food and culinary changes that have occurred in Barcelona. We experienced breakfast, some sweets, some tapas various drinks including vermouth, a local wine made by the a shop curator and Cava with cheese tray to end the tour. Jessica was personable, engaging and an all-around terrific tour guide who obviously knew the area well since you grew up there.

Barcelona Private Food Tour
What a fun and delicious tour! We spent about three hours with Jess, walking through El Born and Gothic Quarter neighborhoods, visiting the Mercat de Santa Caterina and stopping at several shops, bakeries, and tapas restaurants to have a snack and a drink. As a resident of the neighborhood who grew up in the area, Jess knew the best family-run and multi-generational places, and gave super interesting insight into how the neighborhoods have changed over the decades. I really enjoyed talking with her about language, culture, travel, and (of course) food. And the food was so good! As instructed, we showed up hungry and ate plenty. And we each had our own favorites - one of my kids really enjoyed the market; one loved the hole-in-the-wall tapas joint; my husband ate all the anchovies; and I loved finishing the day with cheese and cava. I'm so glad we did this tour, and would very highly recommend Jess for anyone who is considering this tour.

The best food tour!
Absolutely fantastic tour! We are a family of four (kids are tweens) and everyone loved this experience--it was a fabulous way to learn about the history and culture of the city. We went to the market, small shops, a hidden cafe in a bookstore--such an interesting mix. Jessica (strongly recommend requesting her, if possible) was incredible--having grown up in the area, she was a wealth of knowledge and had wonderful relationships with all of the restaurant owners and shopkeepers.
