The Experience

What your day looks like

Join this food envy-inducing Barcelona tour for three hours of sightseeing and food tasting. Join locals as they indulge in the fine art of eating and drinking, something Spaniards are champions at. By the end of the tour, you'll not only be familiar with some local tapas and drinks but also with some hidden secrets of the Old Town. The first tapas experience of the evening is in a historical bar, where we’ll taste a “filling bomb” and a cold local beer. Discover one of the most beautiful squares of the Gothic Quarter and its adjacent small streets that still retain their old medieval ambiance. Our next stop is a family-owned bar where we’ll taste Catalan cold cuts and “pa amb tomàquet” (bread with tomato) accompanied by a nice glass of wine. Explore the Jewish Quarter, before visiting a charming, typical Bodega (with a fantastic cellar), where you can have a “vermut” (vermouth) or “cava” and indulge in the home-made croquettes and other typical tapas (you can expect “patatas bravas”, “padrón peppers”, sausage in cider sauce and bread with tomato). Enjoy a surprise local sweet before making our way to the last venue, we’ll see the Cathedral or even a giant work by Picasso before vanishing again in the labyrinth of narrow streets. We’ll walk then in a very local and traditional Vermouth cellar, where of course you will get a glass or Vermouth or a local “pincho”. It is a must to taste.

Excellent! A great way to explore Barcelona’s old town and learn about the culture. Our guide Lilli was wonderful. She took us to some nice local spots we would not have tried on our own and had prearranged a variety of Spanish tapas for us at each location. Food was great. We were offered a glass of wine, beer, cava, or soda at each place. We had 9 adults total in our group. A fun night. Would definitely recommend!
