We had an overall good experience on this ghost/ history tour. Our guide was late, but we received a free drink of Cava in the meeting point bar. Marie was a pleasant guide and did a good job. Her storytelling was fair, but lacked the flair to create suspense or any air of horror that you can expect on a ghost tour. This was a missed opportunity as many aspects of the Spanish inquisition are terrifying. My wife and daughter did enjoy the experience overall, hence the 3/5 rating. Overall, for the price it was a good way to spend a couple of hours in the heart of the Gothic quarter.

Of course, when you go to Spain, you eat paella. In my experience it’s seafood paella. Our chef took us to the market to buy only the freshest ingredients from his chosen fishmongers. We then walked a few enchanting blocks to a private kitchen, where the chef made copious amounts of sangria. In fact, after the second batch, the participants made more. I don’t remember much after this. I know that everyone participated and those who were tasked with sharp knives were told how to do that without adding a finger to the recipe.

Ewan was a fantastic guide and was very good at bringing history to life in a way that my daughter and husband even enjoyed it. I have a huge fascination with both ghosts and history, given the fact that I work in a mental health and addiction facility that has been known to be haunted.

Guide spoke English well and was very knowledgeable. Fun class...unlimited sangria...learned a bunch and i have been cooking fir years.

If you enjoy learning about food and are culture curious this is the class for you. Of chef Maia was so much more than a chef. As we walked the streets of Barcelona she pointed out historic areas, provided brief historical information and shared which market stands are for tourists and which are where the locals shop. Back in the kitchen Maia did the heavy lifting while we enjoyed sangria and helped to prep the ingredients. She patiently answered our questions and laughed along with our conversation. It felt as natural as being in my own kitchen except she cleaned up! I highly recommend this affordable experience.

The best experience to learn about cooking, have lots of drinks, tapas and most important meet new people in Barcelona! The chefs were super friendly, funny and interesting. I really enjoyed my experience as solo traveller, would 100% recommend to anyone.

We were met by chef Manny at The Travellers Rest in the Gothic quarter, from there we went to the food market to purchase the ingredients needed for the paella. He gave us a fascinating history lesson on Barcelona while walking to and from the market. There were only the two of us so we had an intensive lesson while enjoying the limitless drinks on offer. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience and Manny was the perfect host, I can highly recommend this paella cooking course. Ten out of ten.

A very fun activity for all ages to do together. Manny and Andreas are wonderful guides and cooking instructors. Definitely book an afternoon with them for wonderful paella and fun outing.

Cocktail and tapas choice was excellent (from an informed local who considers herself a foodie). Lupe was such a good coach. Stringly recommend!

Really great tour with a friendly and knowledgeable guide. It was a great time of year for it, as the weather was perfect for walking around and it wasn't loud or crowded on the streets. The Gothic quarter at night is stunning and the tour gives you a lot of history and helpful context for the area - well worth it if you want to learn more about the city and are interested in some is the darker truths of this historical area.

The tour guide was 45 minutes late, we got a free drink at the travel bar for the inconvenience. The guide clearly had very little historical knowledge rather the content was a series of random ramblings. For example: He stopped outside of a souvenir shop and talked about a christmas tradition, then he talked about a hollywood movie which was filmed in Barcelona. He kept complaining about how “history was boring” and “this tour is to dark”. At the end he came up with some misogynistic comment which left the crowd speechless. We didn’t really learn anything and regret the whole tour unfortunately.

Because it was January and the off season, our scheduled session was combined with an earlier one to make a larger group. Even so, there were only 3 of us, so there was ample everything: sangria, ham, cheese, anchovies and crackers to start, paella for the main and time to query Andrea, the chef. Sofia, his assistant, took us to the seafood vendor at the market to start, explaining the ingredients. The venue was big enough for 20, lots of room. Explanations were clear and amusing. Andrea clearly enjoyed the occasion as did we. No hesitation in recommending this experience.

We signed up for a paella cooking class through Get Your Guide last minute. Totally recommend the cooking class. We started by going to Mercat Boqueria to pick up the seafood for our paella. Then we walked to a kitchen where Andres, our chef, walked us through the process of cooking the most delicious paella we’ve ever tasted. While waiting for the paella to cook(45 mins), we got to enjoy the charcuterie board & Naomi showed us how to prepare the sangria. This cooking class was totally enjoyable & worth your time!

Our chef was great, Mya. Very knowledgeable. We had a small group and it a lot of much fun. The Paella & Sangria was delish.

Our English guide was very knowledgeable and entertaining. We got a good dose of history to set the stage for his often disturbing stories.
