Our tour started with a glitch…the email<br />Said 5:30 and when we got there the lady said it was at 6:30! We were not happy! Devour Tours did not communicate with us in the least! Hector saved the night! He was fabulous! A perfect combination of funny and knowledgeable! Ask for Hector!

Arianna was absolutely amazing and made the tour. It’s pretty telling when the entire group said at the end the best part of the tour was the guide. The tour, establishments and food itself was outstanding but the level of history in between stops felt like we were getting an entire other tour included. Worth every penny and then some. Would highly, highly recommend Arianna and this tour to anyone wanting to explore and understand Spain and the Catalonia region in particular, better

Had a blast on this tour! Even though we had been in Barcelona for a few days already and had seen plenty of sights and ate at several places, I still learned a lot and experienced interesting places that I wouldn’t have if I wasn’t with a local guide. I only wish I had taken this tour first because Feliciano did such a great job of orienting us and added a wealth of value through the insight he shared. You can tell he loves what he does and he’s excellent at it. You will not be disappointed!

Know before you book

Is this tour private?
Yes! Your family will have your guide’s full attention—and flexibility to move at your own pace.
Why choose a private tapas tour in Barcelona?
Because it’s the only way to avoid the tourist traps and taste the best of Barcelona like a local—on your own schedule, at your own pace, with a guide who knows the real stories behind what’s on your plate.
What makes this different from other private tours in Barcelona?
This tour is all about context. You'll eat incredible food, but you'll also walk away understanding the flavors, history, and neighborhoods that make Barcelona such a vibrant, unforgettable place.
How much food is included?
Iberian ham, cured meats, and olive oil at a traditional ham shop, plus churros and hot chocolate at Madrid's most famous chocolatería. Parents get drinks at both stops. Between the bocadillo-making and the churros, most kids are well fed by the end.
Are tapas free in Barcelona?
No—unlike some cities in Spain, Barcelona’s tapas are ordered and paid for, just like any other dish. But on this tour, we take care of everything. You just sit back and enjoy.
What are the most popular tapas in Barcelona?
Some of the can’t-miss dishes include pan con tomate, jamón ibérico, padrón peppers, and seasonal seafood. But part of the fun of this tour is tasting what’s best right now.
What is the cancellation policy for private food tours?
Private food tours may be cancelled and refunded up to 7 days before the tour date. Thank you for understanding.
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.
