Private Barcelona Tapas Tour: Taste the Real Barcelona

This was my second time in Barcelona. Last time I left the country thinking there's got to be more to the food because the meals I had were disappointing. This time I thought I'd take a food tour on the first day so I could get a locals opinion of worthwhile places to eat. This tour did the trick. There's a lot of tapas around the city but some places just do it better. Our tour was with James, who was fantastic. He's very friendly and blends in with the group nicely. The group is no bigger than 12 people; I was with 2 people that I knew and the others were perfect, lovely strangers. James brought us to 3 places to taste eats and drinks. All the places were in the Old Gothic part of the city, easy walks. All 3 places were worth visiting again. I liked the 1st and 3rd the best, but that's just my taste. You might like the 2nd the best.<br /><br />In between the food stops we walked around the Old Gothic area and James gave us some interesting history of the area so I learned more than just food stuff. This works so much better than just one big food stop. The first place had light small plates. The second had light small places, not the same as the 1st place. The 3rd served a bit more "dinner" but still plates to share. We had dessert at the 3rd place.<br /><br />Booking the tour was easy. Meeting up was easy. The price might seem a bit much but in reality it gave me several places to dine for the rest of the week with the confidence that the stop serves tasty, good food so I think it was worth it. The tour, in my opinion, was worth the time and money. Have fun and enjoy.
