Having a tour that was fully customizable to our group made for a fantastic night and something that was well worth the fee. Lilia was able to share all kinds of information about local hotspots, places to go, and amazing food. She took the time to get to know us and share Barcelonaβs long history with us. The food and drinks were great, we will absolutely book another tour with Lilia when we return. Knoweldgeable, personable, and friendly

Recently visited Barcelona and booked a food tour through 'Withlocals', specifically with Federico.
I can honestly say it was a highlight of our visit ! Federico was engaging, knowledgeable and full of interesting facts about Barcelona, Catalunya and Spain. He covered everything from local landmarks and history through to economics and politics, a great range of discussion that extended our knowledge of this wonderful city.
But ... The best bit was that he took us to some wonderful places to eat and drink that we wouldn't have visited otherwise. The quality of food and wine we experienced was excellent, all in establishments that were truly 'local'. We ended up going back to a couple of these during the remainder of our stay for our evening meals.
I would highly recommend booking this experience and if you're lucky enough to pair up with Federico you will have a fantastic time !!
Great experience with a great guide !!

We started our tour in Old Town, which is a wonderful part of Barcelona. We visited a number of unique restaurants where we tasted an interesting assortment of Tapas. Federico chose a wonderful and diverse menu based on our preferences.
The evening ended with a visit to the Chocolate shop where we tasted terrific sweets dipped in chocolate.
Federico provided us with a very informative tour and chose fun and interesting establishments to visit. He was knowledgeable and answered many of our questions about the history of the area.

My wife and I enjoyed an amazing food tour around Barcelona with Elvira, a truly once-in-a-lifetime experience that combined local knowledge with our own requests.
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!
Thanks, and we will return with the family!Amazing and personalized food tour

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!

Sebastian was punctual and waiting for us with a big smile, that made us feel like old friends from the first moment we met.
He guided us through delicious local tapas and patisseries at unique local spots that we would never had found without a Host :)
Between spots he told interesting stories and fun facts about the city. The whole tour was a perfect balance between a laid back and well organized local experience.
Thanks to his actor skills, he is a great communicator and sociable, which made our time together truly enjoyable!
We learned that Saba also offers other tours from WithLocals, and we will definitely book him for future adventures next time we are in town. Gracias hermano <3Foodie Rock Star

What an amazing experience! I can't even just call it a tour, it was definitely an experience! Alan was amazing and really went above and beyond! 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! We highly recommend this experience with Alan!!!What an amazing experience!

We spent the afternoon on a tour with Sebastian. Aside from the delicious food that he showed us - which we wouldnβt have found on our own - the tour was filled with amazing history and information about the city! In addition, he gave detailed answers to all of our questions. Sebastian was conversational, easy to get along with, and was genuinely interested in making sure that we enjoyed our experience. We would do another tour with him in a heartbeat and highly recommend booking with Sebastian!Best Birthday in Barcelona

We arrived in Barcelona mid-morning and by mid-afternoon we were enjoying our first taste of of tapas with Federico at the Mercy de Santa Caterina. Such a beautiful tile roof. We sat and enjoyed calamari, patatas bravas, and olives after declining the suggested tripe and / or snail soup. From there we went to La Plata for fried anchovies, tomato salad, and a sausage on pan tomato. Federico said we should try vermouth as it's a typical accompaniment to tapas. We had one more stop and enjoyed manchego, salami, and cooked sausages including chorizo and Iberico morcilla with cava. Following this we made one more stop at a panaderia for take out as we simply couldn't hold our 10th taste!Tapas in the afternoon.

Marina was nice and tried her best but the description said the experience would accommodate vegetarians and vegans. this was not true especially for my vegan wife. The price was outrages for the value. I fault the tour company and not Marina. We had a group of 4 and 2 of us would eat anything. When we reached the place for dessert, we were informed that we had used our allotted expenditure and we had to buy cookies on our own. Our guide did her best but the tour was not as described. Very disappointing.
Description misleading, poor value

Throughout the tour he was easy to talk to and personable and we would gladly recommend him for any tour in Barcelona!Wonderful Food Tour
Lluis was an excellent guide and true local as he was born Catalan from Barcelona. We enjoyed highly dynamic conversations about current events in the world and how it impacted Spain. He showed us wonderful neighborhoods and delectable local cuisine. It was a wonderful experience and he was quite charming and engaging.Exceptional Experience

We had such a fantastic time on the 10 tastings food tour in Barcelona! It was the perfect mix of delicious food, drinks, and fun stories about the city. Sebastian was amazing, so friendly and full of knowledge, he really brought the experience to life.
We started with churros, explored the market with its fresh meat, fish, and cheese, and of course enjoyed some proper tapas. Everything was paired with just the right drinks: wine, beer, and vermouth. Each stop felt like a new discovery, and Sebastian showed us spots weβd probably never have found on our own.
It wasnβt just about the food, though. We learned so much about Barcelonaβs history and culture along the way. Sebastian made it feel less like a tour and more like spending the evening with a friend who knows all the best places.
If youβre in Barcelona and love good food and great company, this is an absolute must-do!Food, drinks and fun with Sebastian

The stops we made were great and we were so full at the end of the tour we had to say no to the churros! It is a great was to learn about Pinchos and Tapa and I would recommend Alan as a guide to anyone.Great experience

I signed up for 10 Tastings in Barcelona with Gonzalo.
Food tastings were awesome. I did get more than just the food. Also learned a lot of interesting info on history and also gained insights on the life of a local.
Enjoyed thoroughly the time spent. Did not feel like a structured tour but more like a casual stroll through neighborhoods with food and drink stops.
Great food and great coversation.Great food and conversation.
