Highlight of our time in Barcelona! (Great for vegans too!) - It has taken me a few weeks to write this review, and when I look back on my time in Barcelona, it's this walking tour with Moises that really stands out. It was easily one of my favorite days of our one-week trip. Not only was the tour filled with fascinating history, delicious tapas and drinks, and lots of great tips for getting around Barcelona as a Touristica, but Moises has a way of making you feel like you're being shown around the city by a friend-of-a-friend. I especially appreciated that with a heads up that I was vegan, he took so much care to make sure there were amazing options for me every step of the way (he even checked if the wines were vegan-friendly!!). Can't recommend this trip enough....I'd urge you to schedule it during the first few days of your trip, as it's a nice way to get to know the city, and you'll want to revisit some of the places Moises shares with you (we went back for the churros twice!!). <3

Best City Tour I Have Ever Been On! - Moises was hands down the best tour guide we have ever had on our travels (From Alaska to Italy). He explained where we were walking (down to the symbols on the sidewalk that you wouldn't notice otherwise), what we were eating/drinking, and any questions in between. We had the best food and drink from truly local spots. I am giving a history lesson to family and friends back home; that's how informative and engaged we were on the tour.

Brilliant walking and tasting tour of the old city of Barcelona - Wonderful walking trip taking in all the main sights and attractions of the old city of Barcelona. Alasdair was an engaging, interesting and informative guide with just the right amount of chat. The food & drink stops were exceptional and we loved the fact that we got to see different markets and taste local food and drink. Would highly recommend this.

A taste of culture - A sunny day in barcelona and a lovely walk around small bars, lively markets and traditional shops. Moises was very patient with our groups and super knowledgeable - a source of endless information, not only about history and culture, bit wine too!
