This is another reason we decided to start The Barcelona Taste: a tour that lets you experience all the great food while side-stepping the crowds. The BT, Barcelona’s first complete gastro food tour built around the idea that there is no reason to just walk and talk about food when it’s possible to walk, talk, and eat it! « less

I thoroughly enjoyed the company (a group of 8 in total led by the charming and knowledgeable Catherine and David) and food on this tour. The 4 places that we visited in the Gothic quarter had were well balances - we started with cheese, then a traditional bar, a place specialising in Catalan dishes and finally dessert. There was a...

Our party of 6, 3 couples, had a wonderful time. Our hosts were easy going, informative and funny! The food was fantastic and plentiful, as was the wine. This is the way to go if you are a foodie, and especially if you are not! Having a knowledgeable guide to cuisine in a foreign country where you don't speak the... More

Our group of nine women (all foodies) celebrating our 60th birthdays and reunion absolutely loved the private Tapas Tour lead by Joe and David on a rainy April evening. It was definitely one of the highlights of our celebration. They were friendly, charming, professional, knowledgeable, down-to-earth, had great energy, entertaining and fun. Everywhere we went and everything we tasted and... More

My college age daughter and I went on The Barcelona Taste tapas tour on our first evening in Barcelona. It was a great evening with 8 of us on the tour and 2 industrious and entertaining tour guides, Jo and Catherine. We were given more than we could possibly eat or drink in 4 grat tapas places, all included in... More

My husband and I enjoyed a great introduction to yummy tapas with our knowledgeable and funny guide Dave. Our group of 5 had a lot of fun as we ate delicious food and drank local wines. Dave also gave us tips for other restaurants and a coffee shop. This is a must do experience when you visit Barcelona!

My friends and I signed up for the Barcelona Taste based on rave reviews on this site, and others. The reviews are spot-on, as we were delighted with the energy Jo and Ramiro shared with us. Good energy and delicious food, a warm Barcelona night, and new experiences. We started at a cheese "cave" (more like a small cathedral honoring... More

What a great foodie tour we had, starting with the most delicious cheese at a small shop on a tiny street and our first taste of fabulous wine. Throughout the tour, Jo and Ramiro peppered us with information that brought color and vitality to the tour. And they were fun and interesting people, who love Barcelona and everything local, who...

We were looking forward to this tour since we are foodies who love to try new things and get off the beaten path. We were a little hesitant to do this in Barcelona since neither my husband nor I speak any Spanish or Catalan for that matter. Just so Joe knows who we are-the couple from Philadelphia on the 4/9...

On a business trip to Barcelona, I had booked this tour based on trip advisor reviews. We were not disappointed. This was an extremely fun and interesting tour. Our guides were well versed in local customs and history, as well as fun to hang out with. Each place we ate had unique and wonderful dishes. We would never have enjoyed... More

My husband and I had a fantastic tour with Dave from The Barcelona Taste. Apparently, this was his first solo tour, but we never would have known it. There were three other people on the tour with us, and we all had a great time talking and learning all about the tapas, drinks and desserts of Barcelona. Like the other... More
