★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 5,804 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $83Our pick

Start in Plaça Sant Jaume and walk through the Gothic Quarter and El Born, stopping for Catalan tapas, regional wine, vermouth, and cava. Guides such as Dasha, Berta, Miro, and Filipe add food, history, and local tips. Choose a midday or evening tour, with an optional flamenco show.

“This was one of the most memorable tours that I have done on any of the trips that I have taken by land, by sea, and by river! Our tour guide, Berta, was absolutely amazing! Her knowledge of the history of Barcelona, navigating the streets of the Old City, taking us to the various locations for the tapas and beverages, cannot compare to any other experiences I’ve had on group tours. Those in our tour group would most certainly share how personable, knowledgeable, professional, and caring Berta was. On a scale of 1 to 10 this was a 20!!! What a fantastic experience to have had during my first trip…”
