The tapas tour was a phenomenal experience, walking the city while hearing its rich history and of course, the tapas and drinks were adored by all! The best part of the tour was our guide Alf, you couldn’t ask for a better guide and person!!

We completed the Tapas Walking Street Food tour in September 2025. The communication provided both pre and post tour was excellent. They took time to ensure your tastes were catered for and matched this to the tour. The guide was excellent in keeping in touch. He was passionate and very experienced regarding the history of Barcelona and the old town. He took us to some excellent tapas bars that provided a great range of tastes and food experiences. All in all, a great experience and Alan you were a wonderful guide.

Johnathan showed us everything he could with the limited time he had. Walking with him was like walking with an old friend who is showing you around the new neighbor you just moved into. Great sights to see! Great little spots to check out! I’d love to spend a weekend in Barcelona just to see what else he’s got!

What you’ll do

Guidebooks are a bore; they can’t clink a glass of vermouth with you and they’re no fun to share a plate of pimientos de padron (seared peppers) with. But that’s exactly what your host will do as you flit between tapa and pintxos bars. Sip vermouth or cañas (the local measure of beer), and sample the favorite local dishes - like la bomba, croquettas of mashed potato stuffed with ground pork, and esqueixada, a zesty feast of raw salted cod, romesco sauce, tomatoes and black olives.  They’ll take you only to authentic tapa bars where you’ll be rubbing shoulders with the locals and you might not be sure what some of the things on the menu are - although there probably won’t be a menu, so you’ll be ever happier your host is with you.
