Alicia_C, Aug 2026

Nika was an amazing...

Nika was an amazing guide. We learned so much about the history and context of the place and the food. The FOOD and drink was extensive and so delicious, lots of wine and tapas. Nika also introduced us to the siphon for your vermouth which changed our entire trip honestly. We usually do a food tour on the first night in a new city and this one was a very memorable one, highly recommend.

Perfect Tour of the Gothic Quarter

The size & scope of this 3-hour tour was absolutely delightful. Marc was an incredible host as he took us to his local favorites. We met wonderful people on the tour as we strolled through the Gothic Quarter, Born & the Jewsish district,. The food & libations were incredible. Every bite of food was sublime. Marc is an expert on both the Catalan food & culture. He was an awesome curator, historian & foodie in one!

Great tour for our 1st day.

Kat was well informed on the history and really took the time to show us an around. I loved the 3 places she took us too and the food and drink offerings were a lot of fun. We wouldn’t have tried them on our own so I’m happy we did this tour. My only knock would be there were no non-alcoholic drinks offered with the alcoholic drinks for the non-drinkers in the group. I think they felt left out. That didn’t stop us from having a great time though.

Best way to start a Barcelona trip!

Isabel was an incredible guide, one of the best we’ve ever had. Her enthusiasm was infectious and her storytelling made the history of Barcelona come alive. It was truly the perfect way to start our stay in Barcelona, with a much deeper appreciation for the culture that makes the region such a special place.

Great History & Food: Don’t Expect Too Much Wine

Excellent tour host who brought Barcelona to spectacular life! The tour would be more accurate to be called a history and food tour with some small wine options. It is not a tour that demonstrates different or high quality Spanish wines. That said, everything else’s about the tour was great including the food stops and especially our guide.
