This is another reason we decided to start The Barcelona Taste: a tour that lets you experience all the great food while side-stepping the crowds. The BT, Barcelona’s first complete gastro food tour built around the idea that there is no reason to just walk and talk about food when it’s possible to walk, talk, and eat it! « less

We took this tour on our first night in Barcelona, as recommended by other reviewers here. There was a total of 8 people on the tour with guides Dave and Anna. We visited four local places including a cheese shop, tapas bar, small restaurant, and a dessert place. The guides spoke excellent English and were very friendly and talkative. The... More

My 2 buddies and I had a great time with Joe and Anna. We were part of a very small group, with a mother/daughter from England joining us. They took us to some great spots in El Barrio Gotico. Everything I had was delicious, minus the blood sausage, which wasn't bad, however I am a very picky eater and just... More

My daughter and I took this tour on our first night in Barcelona. We met Jo and Ramiro in a square close to our hotel along with 6 others who had signed up. By the end of the night we were all telling stories and had become friends! Jo and Ramiro were awesome! Both were full of great advice and... More

My husband and I took this tour with three others with Jo on a cool evening. She is energetic and clearly loves Barcelona and its culture. We started with a cheese store and tasted four different cheeses with a small glass of wine. Next we wandered to a local crowded tapas bar with multiple dishes and Vermouth as a special... More

Great introduction to tapas in Barcelona- excellent variety and the guides (Jo and Catherine) were wonderful-perfect group size. Should definitely do this at the beginning of your trip

Two of us went on the tour. It is mostly eating and talking about everything but the food. The food varied by location from great to mediocre but there was enough that you didn't need to have dinner afterwards. All that said, for the price that we paid for two people you can have an outstanding dinner almost anywhere in... More

Found this online while searching for Barcelona food tours and so glad I signed up! Jo and Anna were great hostesses, giving us introductions to the locations we visited and socializing with the group. They were fun and really easy to talk to about Barcelona, how they ended up there, what they love about the city, etc. And they really... More

Everyone going to Barcelona wants to try the famous tapas - but this can be quite intimidating if you don't know the language. This food tour is an excellent introduction to truly traditional tapas in small owner-run restaurants. We (husband and I) joined a group with three other couples and two guides - Dave and Anna. The 3-hour plus tour... More

Only regret was that we didn't do this earlier in our trip so we could get recommendations on other places to try, and get a better idea of traditional tapas. Overall a great tour, with awesome guides, Joe and Ramiro, who make the tour so much fun! We had a nice small group of 7. We originally thought the price... More

I was in Barcelona on my own, so hadn't really planned on going out at night much - but am so glad I booked this tour! The food and the places we went to were great (as was the variety of drinks), but for me the value was in the information and knowledge surrounding the dishes and locations. Joe and... More
