HIGHLY RECOMMEND - A taste of the people’s History, Food, and Soul of Sants/Barcelona

Michelle_H, Feb 2025

Excellent experience!! Our guide was warm, enthusiastic, and extremely knowledgable; spoke with deep appreciation for the food and history of (and Barcelona at large) and did a beautiful job configuring a tour that flowed naturally while conveying a fascinating amount of historical, cultural, and culinary detail. The food was authentic, delicious, and high quality with no pomp or snobbery. Will MOST DEFINITELY book with Culinary Backstreets again. In fact, looking into doing a full Culinary Backstreets hosted holiday tour in future!!
