I would highly recommend this tour. Our guide, Adrian, was really friendly and informative and the food and wines we tried were awesome. Some of the venues we went to were crazy busy and crowded, but it was a Saturday evening and it is Barcelona after all!

It was a great experience. Had a lot of great food and wine. Our guide Adrien was not native but super friendly, able to keep the mood light and knowledgable about the area. He was able to take us to a lot of interesting places despite the craziness of Columbus's holiday We have a new respect for Sangria(they add gin or vermouth to it here), jamon, patata bravas(they are not just regular fries if you know where to go). We even had some wine from porron and fried anchovies. For drinks, we had sangria, some lemon beer(an interesting mix between light beer and lemon soda), red wine, white wine, wine from porron. Highly recommended

Wonderful tour to learn the history of Barcelona while walking the Gothic Quarter and El Born and stopping for delicious tapas & drinks along the way! Loved our guide Adrian, who was a knowledgeable American ex-pat that now calls Barca his home. Highly recommend doing this tour at the start of your stay in Barcelona to get to know this beautiful city.
