Our group of 4 senior women had a most wonderful tapas experience with Alan . Upon request he greeted us at our hotel as we had only just flown in that afternoon from Sydney ( a gruelling flight ) He gave us a patient and detailed experience of how to use the metro system, travelling alongside us. Alan entertained us with his vast knowledge of the history of Barcelona and Spain as we explored the streets and bars of this exciting city. Alan’s knowledge , enthusiasm ,kind approach and experience made our evening tapas tour one to remember .Tapas Tour of Barcelona

Ilona provided a wonderful introduction and overview of Gaudi's works that served us well as we navigated them throughout the rest of our holiday. Suggest you do this tour early in your visit as it provides a great foundation if you intend to explore Gaudi's works. A wonderful overview of Gaudi's works

It was such a wonderful experience with Ilona. We tasted amazing food and learned so much history along the way. We even returned to one of the restaurants later on during our trip! This was the day of the big blackout and, even with that, she made the very best of it and took us to spots we would not have seen otherwise. Highly, highly recommend Ilona. 10/10AN UNFORGETABLE TOUR in Barcelona

Spending 3 hours with Alan was pure delight. From the moment we met him we could see his passion and enthusiasm. We were touring with our 13 yr old grandson and he related perfectly to him and to us. He had lots of great anecdotes, tremendous command of Barcelona's history and a great sense of humor. He went out of his way to help us secure Park Guell tickets when there were none available. He's an extremely nice guy and a top class guide. So lucky to have chosen Alan!Alan is a wealth of knowledge

Wir hatten eine bereichernde Zeit mit Elvira! Es fühlte sich an, als würden wir mit einer Freundin spazieren gehen. Völlig entspannt und mit vielen Einblicken in die katalanische Kultur, führte sie uns durch die charmanten Gassen der Viertel El Born und Gothic. Ein Highlight der Tour war der Besuch einer ursprünglichen Tapasbar, wo wir die lokale Küche genießen konnten. Leider ging die Zeit viel zu schnell vorbei. Elvira sendete uns auch nach der Tour weitere wertvolle Tipps, auch zu spanischer Musik, die ich liebe! Wir können Elvira sehr empfehlen. Kultur & Tapas: Tour mit Herz und Genuss!

Our 10 Tastings of Barcelona tour with Elvira was absolutely fantastic! From the start, she was incredibly accommodating, adjusting the tour to fit our schedule and making sure we could visit the food market before it closed. Her flexibility and attention to detail made the experience stress-free and enjoyable. Elvira took us to a mix of traditional and modern food spots, introducing us to incredible local flavors. Her knowledge of Catalan cuisine and history made every stop even more meaningful, and her warm, friendly personality made us feel like we were exploring the city with a good friend. If you’re looking for a personalized, delicious, and engaging food tour in Barcelona, this is the one to book! Huge thanks to Elvira for making our experience so special. Highly recommend!An Unforgettable Food Tour with Elvira!

We went wine tasting and to Montserrat with Elvira. It was a really cold day, but I can't blame that on Elvira. Despite the cold we had a lovely day. Good wine and interesting conversation with both Elvira and the young owner of the winery. The monastery was also nice, and I think we will come back on a warmer day. Elvira knows a lot and shares her knowledge in an inviting way as she is also clearly interested in what we said. Very interesting to hear about the history of Catalonia. The car was not really suited for elderly people After the trip Elvira sent suggestions for other excursions and recommendations for restaurants. Can only recommend Elvira

There really is no constructive feedback I could give, as the tour was perfect; my wife and I are still talking and reminiscing about it! Elvira is personable, knowledgable, and brings her own experiences and understandings. We learned a huge amount, ate even more!

We did the 10 tastings of Barcelona with Elvira. As a family of four ( 2 adults and 2 kids (10 and 13), we had very different preferences for food. She adjusted quickly and made sure we had a great tour. As it was our first day in Barcelona, and we were very jet-lagged, we were not as hungry as we should have been for such a tour, so she quickly pivoted and included some walking and historic tour of the City. She was very knowledgeable. She was very generous with her time, and made sure everyone had a good time. I highly recommend!Super flexible and great with kids!

We ate so much delicious food, trying things we hadn't yet as well. He picked great places to stop. Drink recommendations to pair with our food was great as well. Now comes the best part...Alan our guide, friend, host, teacher... He was AMAZING! So much knowledge shared in such a wonderful way! To say he went above and beyond is an understatement! He showed us so much. You could tell he loved being there sharing his knowledge of the beautiful city of Barcelona as much as we did!

Elvira was patient as we got lost and were running behind and greatly appreciate her flexibility! We had a fun walk around the gothic quarter with our family of 3 adults and 3 kids, all under the age of 4. some of the topics felt a bit confusing and unfinished / where we would jump around and didn’t feel like a natural flow of details but not a deal breaker.

My wife and I had the absolute pleasure of joining Alan on the Drinks & Bites in El Born Tour, and it was hands down one of the highlights of our trip to Barcelona! Alan was the perfect guide—knowledgeable, engaging, and effortlessly personable. He struck the perfect balance of sharing just enough history to enrich the experience without overwhelming the fun and laid-back vibe. While the bites were enjoyable, the true stars of this tour were the delicious cocktails and the vibrant, unique bars Alan introduced us to. Our favorite stop was an incredible speakeasy tucked away in El Born. From the moment we stepped in, it felt like we’d been transported to another era. The ambiance was unforgettable, and the expertly crafted drinks were phenomenal. Alan’s expertise shone through in every aspect of the tour. He clearly knows the neighborhood like the back of his hand and took us to hidden spots we never would have found on our own. Each stop was a delightful surprise, and Alan’s enthusiasm for the local culture and mixology made the experience even more enjoyable. This tour is a must-do for anyone looking to experience Barcelona’s nightlife like a local. It’s perfect for couples, friends, or anyone who loves exploring unique bars with a side of fascinating stories. We couldn’t stop talking about how much fun we had and how it felt like we were out for drinks with a good friend who just happened to be a walking encyclopedia of El Born. We highly recommend this tour—and Alan specifically! Don’t miss this unforgettable evening in Barcelona. Our favorite tour in Barcelona

Well, in a nutshell Alan was an awesome guide! He really took the time to personalize our fun filled day of sightseeing in Barcelona, which included a few tastings along the way. He was on time and we promptly took off on foot and used the metro when necessary for our tour. We covered quite a bit of territory with perfectly timed stops at various locations around Barcelona including La Sagrada Familia. Very educational and the Alan really knew his history and answered all our questions which was awesome. Alan also did an amazing job of teaching us about some of the history of Barcelona, Gaudí and how they came to be what they are today. Long story short you cannot go wrong booking a tour with Alan in Barcelona. Enjoy your time in Barcelona and the great food as well! Hanging in Barcelona!
