Fantastic tapas & history tour with Ariana in Barcelona! Ariana was an excellent guide—knowledgeable, engaging, and full of great stories. The tour struck a perfect balance of Barcelona’s history and culture, while the food and drinks were outstanding. Highly recommend!

We booked a group tour with Devour and ended up the only couple that day with Vera. I cannot say how much we enjoyed this tour. A leisurely wander learning about the history or Barcelona and how its food is so tied to its culture. Vera was incredibly knowledgeable and also interested in our own cultures around food and how it compared. We absolutely loved her energy and enthusiasm for Barcelona. The places she took us were outstanding. Steeped in history and tradition, lovely wine to compliment the ham, cheese, raviolli, fried fish, and a surprise savoury/sweet dessert! Just fantastic. Not loads of walking but enough time between stops and no need for lunch. I 100% recommend this. Thank you Vera (and sorry for the delay in posting!) 🙏

Hector did an amazing job on this tour! He has the best personality for bringing a group around, selected some great local gems for us to eat at in Barcelona and gave a fun history lesson on the Gothic quarter, as well tapas and cheese and jamon. We asked him for some local spots to visit and wound up going to a great speakeasy after our tour. Great host for us!

Many people think that they can just use Google or AI and get essentially the same information as with a live tour. Not so, unless you have five years. Ariana was an excellent guide and infused her tour with personal experiences which brought everything alive. Food and history are inextricably intertwined.

Know Before You Go
Is this tour accessible for people with mobility issues?
Unfortunately due to the nature of this tour it is not suitable for guests with mobility impairments, or for wheelchairs or strollers.
Is this the best tapas tour in Barcelona?
We think so—and so do the 3,000+ guests who’ve rated it five stars. This is Devour’s signature Barcelona experience, running since 2014. It’s not just about great food (though there’s plenty of that)—it’s about understanding the stories behind every bite and every bar.
How much food and drink is included?
8 dishes and 5 drinks across 4 stops — enough for a full dinner. Each drink is paired to the course. You won't leave hungry.
What kind of tapas will I try?
Expect a mix of classic Spanish and regional dishes, like garlic shrimp, grilled mushrooms, Manchego cheese, and padrón peppers. These are just examples—tastings vary based on season and availability, ensuring you get what’s freshest and most flavorful that night.
How much walking is involved?
About 2.5 hours at a relaxed pace with plenty of stops for food, games, and breaks (with seating). The route is mostly flat and stroller-friendly, and your guide will always adjust the pace based on your family's needs.
What if I don’t drink alcohol?
No problem! We offer non-alcoholic options at every stop. Just let us know when booking or tell your guide at the start of the tour.
Is this a good tour for history lovers?
Yes! This isn’t just a food tour—it’s also a walking tour through one of Barcelona’s oldest neighborhoods. Your guide will share the stories that connect what you’re eating to the city’s layered past.
Is this a good tour for solo travelers?
Absolutely. Many guests come solo and end up leaving with new friends. The vibe is relaxed, social, and perfect for anyone who wants to explore, connect, and share a great meal.
Are dietary restrictions accommodated?
We do our best! Many stops offer vegetarian options, but please note that vegan, gluten-free, or severe allergy accommodations may be limited. Let us know your needs in advance and we’ll do our best to help.
What if it rains?
We run rain or shine, so bring an umbrella if the forecast looks wet. Most of the tour is indoors or under cover, and the food will keep you warm either way.
