This tour was great. Primarily a food/drink experience, but we also got a good chunk of history as well. I enjoyed the food and drink a lot. I am pescetarian and never felt so easily included in a general food tour; only minor modifications were needed. It was all delicious. Our tour guide was Montse, she knew so much and was super friendly.

Cassie was so much fun and knowledgeable about the history of Spain and the tapas and drinks being served at each tavern. It was fun and the food was great! I highly recommend this guide.

This was one of the best food tours I’ve been on. Our tour guide, Flo, gave us a terrific mix of cultural and culinary history, and she obviously loves her work. The taverns and restaurants were all great, and the tour was well-paced. The group was small, with about 11 people, and we spent enough time at each stop to get to know each other. My biggest takeaway was that vermouth can be much more interesting than Martini. This was a great value.

Can I customize the route or food stops on a private tour?
Our routes and tastings are thoughtfully planned in advance. Each stop has been chosen for its craft, character, and place in the neighborhood’s daily life. Keeping the route intact allows the experience to unfold smoothly without rushing or waiting. That way you can simply arrive and enjoy a table, seat, or bite waiting just for you. While the route itself stays the same, the rhythm is yours. Your guide adjusts the pace to suit your group.
