Delicious Tapas - Lindsay was very knowledgeable about the history of Barcelona and of the foods we were consuming and shared that knowledge eloquently. She made the tour a pleasure to be on, she was also very helpful with other activities that my adult kids and myself had inquiered about. Thank You Lindsay. Dion from Chicago.

Fantastic tour!! - We so enjoyed our tour! The food was delicious as was the wine and Spanish Vermouth. Lindsay, our tour guide, was amazing. She was so knowledgeable about Barcelona history and the history of how tapas became a traditional food. The walk was easy and our final restaurant stop for paella was the highlight of the night. 5 stars experience!

Food Terrible but Tour guide was good. - The tour guide was good and informative but the food was the worst I have ever experienced with a Viator Tour. Every one I talked to said it was not very good.

Be cautious - Be cautious of misleading reviews! I received multiple messages from this company, pleading for a 5-star review: "I wanted to ask you again for a favor. As I mentioned, I get ranked and paid based on the number of 5-star reviews I receive, so if you could do it for me, it would mean a lot 😊." Here's my honest review: 1. The tour guide is friendly. 2. The experience is *not* worth the price. 3. At the first stop, you get two small tapas—like a tiny fried ball and something else—and only one glass of wine. I later found out that the wine was priced at just $4.50 USD. Because I bought another glass. Also this restaurant didn’t give you water either. At the second stop, you receive one piece of tomato bread and two small potatoes, along with one drink. The 3rd place was only 2 tapas which was 2.50 each for each tapas, and NOTHING to drink. At the 4th stop, there's a single serving of a seafood platter and one glass of champagne. I love food tours and don't mind spending money on them, but when you're given cheap portions and the focus seems to be on making a quick buck, it's incredibly frustrating. I'd strongly recommend choosing a different food tour.
