★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 108 reviews · 1 hour · from $29Best value

“O lugar é realmente muito simples, não é bonito, se parece com um restaurante muito antigo. O jantar é realmente péssimo, não tive coragem de comer o que foi servido. O show é interessante, mas claramente muito amador, não segue uma cronologia de espetáculo. Não vale nunca o preço! E com certeza não recomendaria para ninguém.”

“I was the only person since it was off season but Ida was kind enough to still offer the tour. She had great recommendations and knew a lot about the city, culture and history. She chose two places that both had great ambiance and didn’t feel like tourist traps and were off the beaten path. She ordered a good variety of food and options to choose from. All the food was delicious and I got to try more than three dishes at each place and good varieties. Ida was lovely and easy to talk to, and dropped me back off at my hotel. I would highly recommend this tour and…”

You’ll visit Plaça de Sant Just and Plaça de Sant Jaume, explore narrow lanes, and stop for generous food tastings and drinks during this 3.5-hour small-group tour.

“Our guide, Christian, was prompt, knowledgable and had a wonderful personality. We were a group of 8 people and the tour became private. The food stops provided tastings of different types of foods and were of high quality and generous. We can't say enough about this wonderful tour! We decide to do a walking tour after our flight landed in the morning (so we could stay awake during the day and better adjust to the time difference). We knew we'd fall asleep on a bus tour and it was unlikely that our hotel rooms would be ready early. So, taking the walking tour at 1pm was great after our long…”

Start with a private walk through Roman Barcelona, the Gothic Quarter, and El Born. Your guide, such as Xavier, Feliciano, or Javier, then orders Catalan tapas and wine before a one-hour flamenco show with return transport.

“Javier was our wonderful guide. He was friendly and extremely knowledgeable. He met us at our hotel and gave us a detailed tour of the city. He took us through quiet city back streets and showed us places only the locals know about. We then ate a delicious tapas dinner at a local restaurant followed by a flamenco dance. We felt like we got to experience an authentic taste of Barcelona! We could not have asked for a better experience.”
