Andrea provided interesting information that included history, culture, context, gastronomy and more! She accommodated food limitations quite well, and we came away with a great list of restaurants and bars to return to. A large amount of food that was more than plenty for our dinner and a wonderful variety of drinks - white wine, red wine, Cava and vermouth. Excellent service and quality! We highly recommend this tour for a fun, educational and delicious evening in Barcelona!

Our guide, Andrea, was amazing. The food was delicious. And it was an overall great experience. Would absolutely do it again. The small bars and eateries in the gothic district are numerous and a little overwhelming to select on your own. The food tour introduced us to some historical local spots, with authentic atmosphere and traditional bites that make you feel like you got something unique from anything we might get in the states.

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.

15+ tastings at 8 spots—more than enough for a full meal. Come hungry! Water will be served at some spots, but we recommend bringing a water bottle if you get thirsty.

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.
