The first place (Travelers Nest) wasn't great but everything else made up for it. Our guide, Johnny was super nice. You could tell he was passionate about the history and the city. We enjoyed his perspective and the history lessons were just right, not too much or too little. We got a special treat to visit a test kitchen in an historical building and that was definitely the highlight. The guide mentioned it's not always available but we got lucky. Overall the food quality and amount of food was excellent. I would definitely recommend this. Great way to start our trip.

This was the best food tour we have ever done. Our guide, Andrew, was the absolute best. We had a small group of 5, which made it so much better. Food was amazing!

What a great night, every upscale tour! The the food and tour was authentic Spanish tapas in great settings. The shimp dish was one of the best I have ever had in a private dinning setting. Would do again is a second! Great time and worth the money!

Recommend this trip - the guide was excellent with lots of knowledge but not too intense! Plenty of food and wine which was excellent
Jacob_S, Jul 2026
The food was average at best as was the wine. You can easily find better tapas, wine, and history on your own. I would not recommend this

I just want to say that this was 10/10 not only did I book the wrong date for my experience by accident they were able to accommodate me the following day which I really appreciated. Our tour guide who was a female half Scottish/Irish was amazing and friendly . I honestly highly recommend anyone to come try this experience to try new food and make your own sangria you won’t regret it!!!!!!!

The tour is fun with a historical perspective of Barcelona. Great local foods and excellent wines. You meet wonderful people and get a close up look at the local culture.

Siobhan was amazing from the getgo. While there was history and information provided as advertised, it wasn't boring and it wasn't a lecture. Our four stops get better as we went and included a stop we wouldn't have found or been able to get into without the tour. Learning about tapas (and pintxos) was great and super yummy; the drinks were an experience and everything provided a range. A definite recommended tour!

Don’t eat a big meal beforehand. Keep an open mind and trust your guide. Perfect for first time visitors. The tour It’s a cultural experience. Relaxed atmosphere, stops not far from each other. Comfortable shoes it’s a great idea but not a tiring experience. Don’t be afraid to try something new.

This is a must do in Barcelona! The tapas were delicious and fresh! The wine, sangria, and vermouth all pared perfectly with the food. Our tour guide, Miguel was fun, kind and very knowledgeable about the food, drinks and surrounding area. We met some great people on the tour and had a blast! This is a great way to start the evening. You get PLENTY of food and drinks. You will leave feeling full and satisfied!

Great experience! Food was amazing and diverse and drink pairings were perfect. They also had drinks available for our kids who weren’t old enough to drink.

This was a tapas and wine-tasking tour of Barcelona taken by a local host, Santiago. It was great!!!
nickyandtyler, Jul 2026
This was not the best. The food was sub par and for the price, we did not each very much. We learned very little about the food or the history of Barcelona. Our tour guide was unkind to the waitress at the final bar, and not informative. At one point, he described the wine as “red, white, and pink.” The only redeeming quality was the people that we spent time with. I would say that this experience may be better with a different tour guide, however, compared to other food tours that I’ve been on, I was disappointed.
Dennis_H, Jul 2026
Good with a group, excellent guide (Siobhan). Tapas and wine were very good. I would highly recommend
Selim_I, Jul 2026
Guide was not at the designated point/time. Guide spent time with his friends as opposed to the guests. Tapas were ok but far from spectacular. I think I could have down better and I am not from around here…
Melissa_C, Jul 2026
This was our second time doing a food and wine tour in Barcelona. We were very excited because our first one a couple of years ago was amazing! Although we enjoyed this one as well, two of the places we went to were not the nicest. The last place we noticed they had an issue with roaches and chose to not eat at it. We met some very nice people and enjoyed it overall.

A perfect sized group. Great food, excellent tour guide. An all round good experience which covered the tastes of Barcelona.

What a great evening! This tour was awesome. Our tour guide was excellent and all of the other folks on the tour with us were great people.
Debra_B, Jul 2026
A fantastic time!! We enjoyed fabulous food and wine. We met fun and adventurous people from all over the world! Experiencing Barcelona through food and laughter is a must! Our guide was knowledgeable and a lot of fun!
Kevin_J, Jul 2026
Very enjoyable tapas/eating tour with our guide, Juan Carlos. This was not a light on food or drink tour — as is the usual concern. There was plenty to eat and enough to drink to make it worthwhile. Juan Carlos was very personable and has a great sense of humor! A great way to spend a few hours getting to know Barcelona culture through food.
Jennifer_T, Jul 2026
Food tours are a wonderful way to get to know the city and its food culture. The guide we had - Savadore - was extremely knowledgeable and very personable, making it an informative and fun experience. We met people from all over the world and enjoyed learning about them throughout the evening. Highly recommend!!!
Michelle_B, Jun 2026
We really enjoyed this tour! This was an enjoyable way to see some nice places around the area, try new foods and drinking some wine!

We have done food tours all over the globe. Kyoto to Krakow and now Barcelona. Sadly, this food tour in Barcelona was horrible. The group was way too large (25+). They should have broken up the group. Additionally, in a city with amazing fresh food, the food was over cooked because that was the only way for a large group to be handled. Finally, they ended the tour early because they could not handle moving the large group timely from place to place. We left and went and had our own dinner and dessert! I would not waste your money and just go to the gothic quarter on your own. They should refund us.

Salvador was an excellent guide and the company and food was fantastic! It was a great way to start out our trip in Barcelona. I highly recommend this tour.
Michele_B, Jun 2026
Surpassed our expectations. Was a great way to discover bars and gain some familiarity with the area. We ate enough food to satisfy us without needing dinner. The host was very knowledgeable and approachable
Amy_W, Jun 2026
Francisco was excellent! He was very knowledgeable and informative. All of the stops we made for tapas and local wine and sangria were absolutely delicious.
Sandra_H, Jun 2026
Good food and nice variety of stops. Others in our group were interesting and made the time more fun. Guide could have focused more on Barcelona instead of US references.
JohnMark_P, Jun 2026
The best experience and company! Our tour guide Santiago is very entertaining and fun! No dull moment. It’s our first time in Barcelona and this is is a must! The food are delicious and wine tasting is really good! Its at the Gothic quarter. Beautiful place. Meeting other people from all over the world is a plus! We love meeting new people. I highly recommend 😍
Melinda_B, Jun 2026
This was a highlight of Barcelona. A great way to explore Gothic Quarter and sample local history and food !
Our guide was fun , knowledgeable and passionate about sharing history and delightful local cuisine. We were all welcomed into small cafes , kitchens and restaurants like old friends. Come hungry as there is so much food and plenty of drinks flowing too.
Highly recommend this tour.
Nicole_F, Jun 2026
Would not recommend. All of the stops were very touristy and the food was sub par. Our guide did not even introduce himself or tell us his name. I’ve experienced way better food tours elsewhere.
