We had a fantastic time with Federico! He was so knowledgeable and easy to communicate with. He even provided a fantastic tip to my husband about an antique market for a future time. We really appreciated his friendliness and thought the couple of hours spent with him was a great intro to the city to then explore more on our own. Thank you, Federico!!!!Great exposure to Barcelona food & markets

Maria is friendly, energetic and about of fun to be around. We sampled delicious food at each stop and truly enjoyed experiencing Barcelona through Maria’s eyes.

We were a group of 6, and Elvira’s foodie knowledge and passion for Barcelona was outstanding. We talked about all sorts of topics including current affairs and traditional Spanish life. We thoroughly enjoyed the tastings we had, that were away from the tourist hubs and Elvira’s explanations that went with them were very informative. She also gave some recommendations on where to eat to avoid the usual visitor traps. A thoroughly enjoyable morning.Great morning with Elvira

I can't say enough good things about our tour with Gonzalo! He was so amazing that I sent my sister his info while we were on the tour because she's heading to Barcelona nextnweek. We booked the market tour with him and it was perfection! He shared a ton of history as we walked between tours and we also sampled some amazing local items. He clearly had a relationship with the vendors and they treated us all so kindly. I loved hearing the history of some of the food. He was a fun and happy guide and my kids have compared every guide to him since we got off. "This tour was good, but Gonzalo made ours more personal " definitely book with him!!!Definitely book with Gonzalo!!

Elvira was fantastic! Great communication prior to the tour, as well as inquiring about food preferences/restrictions. Bent over backwards to accommodate several picky eaters in our group. Great and patient with kids. Emphasized local markets and local dishes. Provided great recommendations for other restaurants and sites. Highly recommend.Energetic and authentic

Alessandro gave us a lovely tour through Barcelona markets and the old town. His knowledge of the history was awesome and he explained it all in a very engaging way. It was great to taste some of the delights on offer and he was sure to take us to a couple of places that would be hard to find as a tourist in Barcelona. I would recommend Alessandro to anyone coming to Barcelona and looking for a walking tour. Barcelona Revealed

(About local Elvira)

16 May 2024

This was to be a multicultural experience but it was really a Catalan experience. The first food stop was great and well planned but the remaining stops were not well executed. She asked us what we wanted but being unfamiliar that was useless. She mentioned her budget a few too many times being this was not a bargain tour. Two of us have severe fish and seafood allergies but she didn’t get it. Also a poor communicator, I had to confirm with her the day before. Not recommended. Interesting tour of the markets

Neil🇺🇸 United States

(About local Silvina)

14 May 2024

Tour is billed as a customized tour to the clients taste. Far from the truth in our experience. At first greeting were told exactly what we were going to do even though we had said we did not want to go to a certain market as we had been already and found exactly what we did not want there. Silvina was very pleasant person but never asked anything about our wishes. Very cookie cutter tour. Don’t waste your money go to the markets yourself. Maybe we were not forceful enough but should we have to be?A lot of $ for a minimal experience

Marina was an excellent food guide. We had some adjustments to our timing and she worked with us to get a good experience. As a native Barcelonan she explains why certain foods and drinks are popular. She also shared other tips on navigating the city that helped after the tour.Excellent food experience

Krisztina led a wonderful food tour. She met us promptly at the scheduled meeting location and time. We visited multiple locations for both food and drink. It was a great introduction to Spanish food and we had several dishes that I wouldn’t have tried on my own which were excellent. Come hungry because you will be satisfyingly full at the end of the tour. Wonderful Food Tour

(About local Maria)

21 April 2024

Maria really showed her passion for food, Barcelona and Catalán. I asked her to speak to me in Spanish because I need more practice in listening and understanding. She was very easy to understand. She spoke clearly and at a good pace. She took me to the best places and we had lots of dishes I wouldn’t have known to order on my own. Maria also explained a lot of historical things like places, culture and politics. She found an event that was happening and encouraged me to go. It was a Spring Castellers performance. I was able to go a few days later and it was the highlight of my trip. This was such a great tour and I felt like Maria was my friend.Great food tour and more.

(About local Elvira)

24 March 2024

The food tour with Elvira was one of the highlights of our family trip to Barcelona! We explored two traditional markets and La Bocadaria on La Rambla. Elvira explained the history of the markets to Barcelona and the continuing importance of these markets today. At the first market, Elvira walked us past a number of different stalls—explaining a variety of local dishes and encouraging us to pick out samples to try. Along the way, Elvira explained a lot about Catalan traditions and how these may differ from other parts of the country. We sat and enjoyed several dishes at a tapas bar in the market. The food was absolutely incredible! We took a walk through La Bocadaria on La Rambla and then on to another local market on the other side of the Cathedral of Barcelona. Similar to the first market, we wandered past several stalls and then settled in at Bar Joan to try a bunch of different dishes. Elvira was sure to pick dishes based on our tastes and interests and was eager to hear about whether we liked them or not. Elvira is passionate about her culture and Barcelona. It was wonderful to spend the day with her exploring the markets and trying new foods that as visitors we would have never thought to try. Elvira made exploring new foods easy and fun! We look forward to visiting Barcelona again and would absolutely take another tour with Elvira!Best Food Tour Ever with Elvira!

(About local Elvira)

17 March 2024

Elvira was a fantastic guide for our food-tasting experience at some of the local markets. At each place we stopped she helped us select traditional Catalan foods to try and explained their history and significance with clear passion for her native country. We had lots to choose from and no strong preferences or aversions so we let Elvira do most of the choosing. I was impressed with she managed to quickly find space for us to sit for counter service at each place we visited despite it being busy lunchtime at clearly popular venues. Although it was a rainy day we enjoyed walking though the Raval and Gotic neighborhoods and most of the tour was indoors under covered markets. The food was delicious and Elvira shared recommendations for other places to explore in the city. We left very full and had to take some of our desserts in take-away bags!A taste of real Catalunya!

We did a couple of tours with Elvira while we were in town with our parents and would highly recommend you do the same! We did the the Gaudi/Architectural tour and the Marketing tasting tour because those were the things we were interested in but I would not hesitate to book any of her tours. Elvira was wonderful at putting things in context of history and local life with a great energy that made everything fun. She was also excellent at reading our group to see what we were interested in and adapting to meet our pace. Highly recommend!A wonderful time exploring Barcelona!

We had an amazing tour with Elvira! We did the 10 tasting market tour but also got some history and highlights of Barcelona. Elvira was great at explaining the history of the markets and the neighborhoods we visited. She also quickly learned what we liked and didn’t like. She has us trying authentic and local bites that we would most likely not order on our own. She went above and beyond and sent us a list of everything we ate plus recommendations of what to try and where to go. We ate at one of her recommended restaurants and had amazing food.Don’t look any further, book now w/ Elvira

Last month we were very fortunate to take a market tour with Bianca. Due to some issues (ours - not hers) she kindly adjusted the tour. I think we had a better time on our adjusted tour than we would have on our original market tour! Bianca was lovely to spend time with and went out of her way to share her favorite experiences and restaurants in Barcelona. I would definitely recommend booking a tour with her to enhance your visit to this wonderful city.Best time with Bianca!

We had a great time with Federico on our food tour. Being a large group of young travelers, we are not the easiest to manage, but Federico did a great job showing us unique foods and keeping us engaged as he explained the history of the cuisine and our stops throughout the city. We got to try a wide variety of traditional foods and were exposed to many new dishes. Thank you so much for a great time!Unique and Delicious

Our guide Federico truly enhanced our experience by tailoring the trip to us. His knowledge of the city enriched our journey with enlightening insights as we walked to each destination. By the end of our tasting tour, not only were we well fed, but we also had valuable recommendations for our remaining time in Barcelona. Starting our vacation this way was a great decision and a highlight for us and our kids. I’d highly recommend it, ideally early in your trip.Perfecy start to our vacation

We had an amazing tour of Barcelona's food markets with Ilona. Ilona was a great tour guide - someone who knows the markets, knows the food really well and the culture around food in Spain, and knows a lot of history of Spain and Barcelona. She provided great information as well as great food including tortilla espanola, paella, and jamon. Overall a great time, definitely one of the highlights of our visit!Amazing food tour of Barcelona's markets!

My friends & I travel a lot & frequently take tours. Our Market Tour with Sebastian was beyond our expectations. Sebastian was friendly, engaging, knowledgeable & adaptable. Our first tastings were cod 3 different ways, 2 days later we are still arguing over which preparation was better. He adjusted the tour based on our interests & brought up relevant local & historical knowledge of the area & the food. We left the tour full of food & with wonderful memories. We had a wonderful time & cannot wait to come back to Barcelona to tour more local food destinations with Sebastian. Truly fantastic food tour

Bianca was so nice and clearly passionate about food. She easily changed the tour around our preferences which was local, savoury, and wine. The 3 hours flew by. In the end we tasted and learnt about all things local, including where the locals go to avoid tourists like us! We went back to the markets and cellar afterwards and constructed our own tapas dinner, delicious 😋. It was perfect to see her at the start of our 3 weeks in Spain. Thanks Bianca for making the start of our holiday so special.Highly recommended for foodies

We had a great experience exploring the food and Jewish history of Barcelona with Ilona. While the food aspect was fun and yummy, the Jewish component was very special. She went out of her way to research certain aspects of the history to enhance our tour. She even regrouped with us a second day so that we could experience some things that were closed on the Saturday we originally booked. She was smart and pleasant and flexible and interesting. I would highly recommend her.Food and Jewish Quarter tour in Barcelona

We felt that she provided a superb value for money experience, but the thing that made her shine was her fantastic personality. She was warm, welcoming and a fun person to spend a portion of our trip with.

We toured the streets and markets while connecting with Roman ghosts from an ancient past. We exchanged stories along the way as we ate our way through the city. Maria helped me get oriented and provide great tips on places to visit and things to eat. I plan to send more folks to Maria and hope to join her again in the future.

(About local Lusi)

5 October 2022

Lusi took our tour on with very little notice when another guide became ill, so kudos for that. She was very energetic and made sure that we got the whole market experience. We originally expressed some reluctance to go to the Boqueria market as we had heard that there were many tourists there. To her credit, Lusi talked us out of that, saying that it was the biggest and most interesting market and she was right. After our tour, we needed to get to La Sagrada Familia for a tour there. I was proving very difficult to find a cab, so Lusi showed us how to get there on the Metro and we just made it on time. Good job Lusi.Barcelona Markets Tour

(About local Maria)

2 October 2022

First, I would like to say what a pleasure it was to meet Maria. She is a true foodie and has a love of what she does. Maria is very knowledgable about the history and culture of Barcelona. Before we started our tour, she explained to us about the history of Barcelona using her own maps that she brought with her. This helped orient us and made us appreciate what we were experiencing. As we visited each market, she pointed out the traditional catalan foods and how some of the dishes were prepared. We sampled very delicious foods along the way. We had a lovely lunch at a local resturant. You don't have to worry about the language barrier, she is very fluent in english and she does all the ordering and communicating with all the vendors. You can ask her any question and she is always happy to explain. I highly recommend Maria to anyone visiting Barcelona, it is worth every penny. At the end of the trip, she gave us a link to her website which had a lot of suggestions for resturants, bars and cafes. Thank you Maria for a most memorable day.An Amazing Experience

Sometimes when you book a tour months in advance, things are a bit different the day of the actual tour. That's when it pays to have a true local as a guide. Laura did an excellent job adjusting on the fly to holidays that caused many things to be closed at the last minute. With a bit of flexibility, her deep local knowledge, and a commitment to showing us the best of Barcelona, we had a great time in spite of diverting from the original plan. And we made up for missed tastings on another tour we had with Laura, so all is well! A great workaround for our tour

(About local Tomas)

6 September 2022

The tour got off to a strong start. We were enjoying learning about the markets, Barcelona and Tomas. Midway through the pace felt increasingly rushed and the tour came to strange end (more than an hour early) when the intended dessert location was not open. As someone who has done many food tours across the world, this was unfortunately disappointing. Overall, a poor value if you are looking for a true food tour.Markets in Barcelona
