Great

Our tour was great until the last spot where it went on too long and was tremendously loud. To be fair, we had been out touring Barcelona all day and were tired and still jet lagged. But I think they definitely could have ended it outside the last restaurant and sent us on our way rather than standing for another twenty minutes trading QR codes for extraneous things like discounts on future tours. That could have all been sent in an email summing up the experience.

This was the best food tour I’ve ever taken! Our guide who was very knowledgeable on the history of the city, took his time to show and explain many of the places we walked by on the way to the four restaurants we visited. The food and drink choices were very authentic to Barcelona and the Catalan area. Thanks Hector for a great tour of your beautiful city.

Wonderful way to start a vacation in a new city. The tour was well organized and our guide, Eric was so pleasant! He was full of all the basic info you need to get an idea of the sites visited. Great way to figure out where you might want to go back to. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our Tapas and Taverns tour in Barcelona. Thank you Eric. You're the best!
