Itinerary
Join us for this 3-hours-long walking tapas tour in Barcelona Gothic Quarter! With the help of our Local Expert, you’ll pass by some of the most emblematic and iconic spots of the whole city and retrace the footsteps of celebrated artists, while tasting Spanish and Catalan culinary must-haves. Accompanied by our local food expert, you will be able to experience the true essence of “vermuteo”, savour traditional, delicious tapas with typical wines and indulge in one of the first desserts ever documented. Please, bear in mind that the tastings here described may change according to the season and the availabilities of our partners.
You will start your culinary journey in Carrer de la Mercè, one of the most vibrant streets of Gothic Quarter, near which you can also admire the stunning omonymous basilica, dating back to the XVII century. Here you will visit one of the oldest still running tapas bars in Barcelona, where you'll taste a glass of local wine paired with various tapas, such as fried anchovies, tomato salad and "Pincho de Botifarra", a piece of the typical “pan con tomate” (bread spreaded with tomato juice) topped by a piece of sausage.
Let's continue our tapas tour in Carrer del Regomir. Nearby, we’ll enjoy a mix of delicious tapas such as the famous pan con tomate - freshly baked slices of bread with a tomato spread on top - pimientos del padron - small green peppers seasoned with olive oil - or the iconic potato tortilla. All of this will be accompanied by Cava, the “Spanish champagne”.
Plaça de Sant Josep Oriol is a small square behind the Famous Basilica de Santa Maria del Pi, but despite its more famous neighbour, this square is worth a visit, especially during the weekend, where an artists' market takes place and - if you're lucky enough - you can see them painting en plein air! In a tapas bar nearby, you will discover some of the best pintxos in town!
Plaça Sant Jaume is the administrative heart of Barcelona, where you can admire - but only from the outside - some buildigs like the city hall or the headquarter of Catalan governement. But Plaça Sant Jaume is famous also for another place: one of the oldest bakery shops in Barcelona! Here you'll taste Crema Catalana, one of the most famous desserts in the world and the official regional dessert as declared by the Catalan Institute of Cooking (lunch only). In the evening, you will enjoy a handmade ice-cream flavoured with local ingredients like turron!

What an exceptional afternoon. Our guide, Andrea, from “Do Eat Better Experience” was welcoming, knowledgeable, interesting and engaging. We strolled around the small laneways of the old gothic quarter of Barcelona and went to several small cafes and bars that the locals only seem to know about rather than the big tourist destinations. A three hour, but leisurely trip. Lots of history and context wherever we went. Andrea introduced us to some amazing culinary delights and generously left us with a long list of recommendations for other places to go. Highly recommended. We will be back for sure.
This tour was amazing and well worth it! Emma is great and picked the perfect stops with a variety of local food and drinks that we probably would have never tried on our own! Along our tour Emma also provided with a little bit of history. I highly recommend this tour.
Wonderful experience with Francesco! He is knowledgeable, fun and easy to understand. And the food was delicious!

Fabulous 3 hour foodie/Tapas tour with Andrea. Great walk through the Gothic district with historic explanation regarding Catalan region. 3 Tapas bars and one patisserie. Andrea is well informed about history and her home city. I traveled with my partner and there was another couple on the tour with us. Barcelona is our last stop in Spain this time! I highly recommend this tour.
Francesco was fantastic! Great conversation, great food, great historical information! So much energy!
What an amazing tour, full of fascinating history as well as delicious food stops. Miquel was superb, from the initial communication, meeting us and taking us to the stops. He was knowledgeable, interesting and provided excellent recommendations both at the stops and for the rest of our trip. The food was stunning, great options and delicious every time. We were huge fans of the crema Catalana, we will be having another one before we leave! Couldn't rate the tour highly enough. Miquel mentioned the food tours that are available in other cities - we will consider trying more of these! Thank you.
Wonderful and entertaining experience with Francesco. Fun food tour!

Great food tour! Francesco is wonderful!
Great food, great tour guide, fun stories. And great vermouth! I only wish we had microphones to hear sometimes because of street noise but overall our group of 8 faired very well!
We had a great time with Ophélie as our tapas tour guide! All of the food and drinks were delicious and it was nice to hear some interesting facts about Barcelona and her own personal view of living in the city. We had a lot of fun and it was one of our favourite experiences in Barcelona :)
The experience itself was good and everyone enjoyed themselves. The guide Emma was extremely passionate, friendly and kind. What was not so great was that the organisers were not as accommodating as they could have been. We realised it was going to be pouring with rain for our tour and our baby got sick but just missed the cut off for cancellation. We had hoped they would just move our tickets to another day due to the rain but the only compromise we could reach was to pay for more tickets for a new date. It did end up pouring heavily on the original date and would have been miserable. We were still happy we got to go but it was an incredibly expensive endeavour.
There was a lot of delicious food and drink on this tour, come hungry. Tour guide was excellent and had lots of interesting information about the food and the region.
Highly recommend. Scheduled for the evening we arrived- left with great recommendations for the entire trip from Andrea.
Lovely tour. Andrea os great, highly recommend the tour and her as a guide.
We had such a wonderful time with our guide, Emma. Great food and drinks with some culture and history lessons mixed in. Emma also gave us great suggestions for other places to visit in town to round out our trip. Highly recommend this tour!
Great food and drinks at some lesser known local sites. Your guide was excellent on knowledge of history and the area.
Excellent evening walk with visits to 4 interesting food stops. The food was good. Our guide, Ophélie, supplied practical information about the area and the food. She managed the group well. We were very happy with the tour.
THE BEST walking food tour we’ve ever done! Andrea was extremely knowledgeable, entertaining, and a complete delight to be with. The tapas, pinchers, and her suggested beverages were exceptional. I truly cannot rate her, and this tour, high enough!
