Montse was AMAZING! She was very passionate and familiar with the tour of the markets and the area. She gave great suggestions for restaurants and areas to go to beyond the tour. Definitely loves what she does! We saw amazing things and ate great food.
Our tour guide, Andre was fantastic! Great tour of the city and wonderful food. He did an amazing job showing us sights we wouldn't have found on our own.

Montse was a wonderful tour guide, she was a wealth of knowledge on Barcelona and the markets. She went above and beyond the usual tour guide and sent us additional information on things we had questions about.
Montse was an excellent guide. She was super informative and we were able to try a great variety of foods at La Boqueria including an amazing tortilla espanola, paella and Catalan version of octopus and cod. We also tried some great cava, churros and chocolate and amazing cheese in addition to learning a lot about Catalan culture. Definitely recommend!
The tour was very informative and a culinary delight. Our tour guide Montse showed us many sights that we didn't know about.
Montse was our guide on a food tasting tour. She was very informative and knew the area very well. She had great passion for her work and tried our best to get the taste of the culture we were involved with. I highly recommend her as a guide for anyone interested in Barcelona foody tours
So many stalls. So many options. Only one stomach. From raw oysters to chocolate strawberries. From tapas to dried fruits. So many jamon stalls. Don’t know where to begin? Go down aisle by aisle and see what screams to you first. And then repeat.
Great Experience. Very knowledgeable. Well rounded food sampling. Daniele did a great job navigating through large crowded areas. And balanced the trip out with some quieter areas. Over all would do it again.
We had the most amazing experience with our guide! She made us feel like family, and tailored the tour to our taste. My 10 year old daughter enjoyed it as well. Lots of great information, and a fun time tasting the local delicacies. I definitely recommend this tour.
