A highly recommended experience for discovering Barcelona through its gastronomy!!!! We tried a variety of tapas and drinks at several charming local venues, while our guide shared interesting facts about the city and Catalan culture. La Boqueria Market was also amazing to visit. It is a lively, colourful place and a great way to experience the local atmosphere. We would definitely do it again!
I can’t think of a better way to truly immerse yourself in Barcelona’s culture and food scene, especially its incredible tapas! It was just our group of six friends on the tour, so the guide was able to personalize the whole experience for us. We could ask lots of questions and learn interesting facts about the different places we visited. An excellent experience! We absolutely loved La Boqueria and would happily go back a hundred times.
I had a really nice time on this tour. The guide was friendly and made everything feel relaxed and fun. We stopped at a few different markets and local places, and the food was really good!!
