Additional Information

Embark on a gastronomic adventure in Barcelona’s renowned Ciutat Vella (old city) with this 3-hour food tour. You’ll amble past centuries-old Roman walls, stroll by revered cathedrals, meander through cherished squares, and, crucially, hop into 3 local eateries, promising a satisfying, euphoric experience while enhancing your appreciation of Catalan and Spanish culinary traditions.

Unlike sizable historical tours that culminate with a mere nibble, our focus as a Barcelona-exclusive organization lies in partnering with autonomous, neighborhood restaurants identified for their top-tier meals and sweet treats.

Having spearheaded tours for a decade, we’re convinced that the most exceptional tours echo a casual dinner with an acquaintance. As part of our limited-size group tour, you’ll engage in lively conversations, and our guide will navigate you safely around Barcelona, offering an informal, intimate evening. Discuss the locale, cuisine, or any spontaneous topic – Barcelona’s lifestyle, arts, or history are all potential talking points.

Off the beaten path - This was an excellent tour. Our guide was fantastic and was able to keep the group engaged with both food and conversation. Can't say enough about the wonderful places we visited. Off the beaten path and would not have found them without our tour. Food was high quality and delicious! I would recommend this tour wholeheartedly. Well worth the money and time.

Walking Tapas Tour - Anna was an excellent tour guide as we walked through the district in the rain, which didn’t phase her or us as well.She pointed out many landmarks on our tour between restaurants. Once we were seated at each restaurant she offered us different drinks that were popular with the locals. Once we had our drink of choice, she asked us for our likes and dislikes and ordered accordingly. With the arrival of each dish, she explained what we eating. We tried a few things that were out of comfort zones but enjoyed everything we were served. She was pleasant, knowledgeable and had a lovely sense of humor. It was a very special evening and a great way to spend our first night in Barcelona. We would highly recommend taking this tour.

Delicious and insightful! - Absolutely fantastic food tour! We loved it. The food and drinks were all incredible. Noah was such a friendly and knowledgeable tour guide, who really took the time to give us a wonderful experience. And we loved that it was such a small group, meaning you really got to know the other people on the tour. Would highly recommend The Barcelona Taste tours.

Great food and more - Esther was great. Not only did we have great food, but she pointed out lots of small details on the buildings in the Gothic area and gave us some history of Barcelona along the way. The group was a great size - we could all squeeze around a table together making it a friendly experience. Do this early in your stay and you will know what to order! Sadly I was so busy eating I forgot to take pictures of any food!

Barcelona at its best! - Booking a tour with Taste of Barcelona was one of the best travel decisions we’ve made. Our guide Tito introduced us to three restaurants in the Gothic Quarter, curating a menu which perfectly highlighting Catalan cuisine. Tito’s genuine interest in showcasing the city and culture through its food and wine resulted in an evening that was both educational and festive. It was like dining with a knowledgeable friend. We would happily take this tour on repeat!
