Barcelona Food Tour

Try authentic Spanish Tapas and meet fellow foodies in the Catalan capital

Barcelona Food Tour

Barcelona Food Tour
Taste your way through the Catalan capital on this award-winning Barcelona Tapas Tour. We’ve handled the details so you can skip the crowds and go straight to the good stuff: real Spanish cuisine made by locals. Food is an essential part of Catalan culture, and no trip to Barcelona is complete without sharing tapas or “small plates.” Over two and a half hours, you’ll visit four of the city’s best tapa hotspots where you’ll try a variety of traditional tapas and drinks, meet the locals who make them, and see hidden cultural gems along the way.

We’ll explore two of the city's trendiest, historic neighbourhoods. See Roman ruins in the Gothic Quarter before heading into El Born to window-shop at artisanal shops and art galleries, marvel at the Basilica de Santa Maria del Mar, and wander through picturesque squares. In between sights, try small bites like spicy patatas bravas, fresh pimientos de Padrón, and crispy fried fish paired with local wine, vermouth, and cava. From crunchy croquettes and unique Basque pintxos to paella and a Catalan dessert, you’ll treat your taste buds to the best of Spanish gastronomy and Catalan classics and learn about the history and evolution of this world-class cuisine.

This is the best way to meet people with a passion for food and it's also especially good for solo-travellers who might otherwise miss out on the opportunity to sample an array of small plates when eating alone, so book your tour and get to sharing!

This tour takes 2.5 hours and can be booked for any day of the week beginning at 1:00PM, 5:00PM or 6:00PM.

Please note that the tour company will contact you directly once your payment has been completed. They will send you further details and instructions via the WhatsApp number provided in your application.

Taste your way through the Catalan capital on this award-winning Barcelona Tapas Tour. We’ve handled the details so you can skip the crowds and go straight to the good stuff: real Spanish cuisine made by locals. Food is an essential part of Catalan culture, and no trip to Barcelona is complete without sharing tapas or “small plates.” Over two and a half hours, you’ll visit four of the city’s best tapa hotspots where you’ll try a variety of traditional tapas and drinks, meet the locals who make them, and see hidden cultural gems along the way.

We’ll explore two of the city's trendiest, historic neighbourhoods. See Roman ruins in the Gothic Quarter before heading into El Born to window-shop at artisanal shops and art galleries, marvel at the Basilica de Santa Maria del Mar, and wander through picturesque squares. In between sights, try small bites like spicy patatas bravas, fresh pimientos de Padrón, and crispy fried fish paired with local wine, vermouth, and cava. From crunchy croquettes and unique Basque pintxos to paella and a Catalan dessert, you’ll treat your taste buds to the best of Spanish gastronomy and Catalan classics and learn about the history and evolution of this world-class cuisine.

This is the best way to meet people with a passion for food and it's also especially good for solo-travellers who might otherwise miss out on the opportunity to sample an array of small plates when eating alone, so book your tour and get to sharing!
