“The meeting point instructions by train weren’t the best. We arrived at the designated train station but could not find the guide. We called the number provided for questions 3 separate times to ask for assistance, but no one could direct us to the correct spot. When we found it on our own the bus had just pulled off. We asked if we could get a partial refund or speak with a manager to share our experience, but was told no to both by the representative. We understand that the bus had to stay on schedule, but the lack of support and customer service from the help line was unacceptable.…”

However tapas and wine tasting was simply unsatisfactory as regards quantity of food and also types of tapas served for the price they charged us. Here I see place for significant improvement in the future.”

The cheese pairings were a great bonus and introduced us to new cheeses that complemented the wines perfectly. Whether you’re a wine lover or just curious, this experience offers a relaxed and educational afternoon in the heart of Barcelona. Highly recommend!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 508 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $124

Spend about three hours with a private local guide such as Lusi, Maria, or Gonzalo, tasting six or 10 Barcelona foods and drinks. Walk from Plaça de Sant Jaume toward Santa Caterina Market and Eixample, with vegetarian options and neighborhood stops beyond the usual tourist circuit.

“Our tour with Lucy was the perfect way to begin our adventures in Barcelona. We learned so much about the city and she paced the trip beautifully. Two of the people in our trip are slower walkers, and we were really pleased that she was able to accommodate for that. And then there was the food! I don’t want to spoil it for you so I won’t get into too much of what we tasted, but let’s just say it was out of this world. And ending the trip with a visit to the rooftop bar was fabulous. Can’t recommend this trip highly enough. Thank you, Lucy!”
