Excellent
We really enjoyed our tour with James!! The history he shared was fascinating, the tapas and drinks were delicious, and we saw parts of the Gothic Quarter we wouldn’t have found on our own. A really well-done experience.

This was a very interesting tour, and we enjoyed it very much. Our guide, Vera, was impressive, with her breadth of knowledge and people skills. This is a tour for people who want to experience the history and tastes of the authentic Spanish tradition of tapas. If you just want to party and drink, I'd recommend taking a different tour.

A perfect start to my trip in Barcelona. Right balance of food, wine and conversation with a little bit about the history of the gothic quarter thrown in. Eric made you feel welcome and had great knowledge about Barcelona. Never a dull moment the tour made me feel less intimidated to go it alone. Fully recommended to all

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?
Plenty! You’ll enjoy 10+ traditional tapas and 5 drinks (including vermouth, cava, and regional wines) across three family-run stops. It’s a full dinner, Barcelona-style. Come hungry.
What kind of tapas will I try?
The lineup varies with the seasons and availability, but expect a mix of Catalan and Spanish staples—things like *butifarra* sausage, crema catalana, fried fish, croquettes, and more. Every dish is carefully chosen to reflect local traditions and flavors.
How much walking is involved?
The route covers approximately 1.5 km (1 mile) through the Gothic Quarter at a relaxed pace, with plenty of time to rest and eat between stops.
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! Vegetarian options are available, but please note we may have limited flexibility with gluten-free or vegan diets due to the nature of the dishes. Let us know in advance and we’ll see what we can do.
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.
