Excellent
This tour was fabulous! I would highly recommend it anyone who not only wants to learn the history of Barcelona but also want to taste authentic local food and drinks. Our tour guide, Nika, knew her history, her food and her local drinks. She was kind, engaging and enthusiastic.

The tour came highly recommended by a close friend, yet it exceeded my expectations. The only difficulty was finding the starting point as we had to circle the building which has several look alike arches! Friends on the next tour had the same experience…. The selected pubs were all excellent choices and I enjoyed the food, except for the anchovies. We moved along smoothly from place to place, all very well orchestrated.

What a great Tour Guide Alexandra was. Not only did we drink a lot of wine and eat a wide variety of Tapas we also received a great tour of the Gothic area.<br />From 1st Century BC to current days Alexandra explained everything to us and made the 3 hour tour fly by. I will definitely recommend Devour Tours and Alexandra to anyone who is looking for food, drink and an education.

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?
A full dinner’s worth! You’ll enjoy 9+ tapas and 4 drinks across 4 of the best family-run tapas bars in Madrid. Come hungry—this is a proper Spanish night out.
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?
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.
