Meet your local guide outside the iconic Gran Teatre del Liceu and leave the busy boulevard behind as you step into the hidden lanes of Barcelona's Old Town. Within minutes, you'll find yourself in a different world of medieval streets, local taverns, and neighbourhood stories that most visitors never get to experience.
Your evening begins the way many locals start a night out: at a beloved neighbourhood bar known for serving one of Barcelona's most iconic tapas, the famous bomba. Pair this local favourite with a refreshing beer as you settle into the city's relaxed social culture and discover why tapas are about far more than food—they're about bringing people together.
Wander through the atmospheric streets of the Gothic Quarter, where centuries of history unfold around every corner. As you stroll through hidden squares and narrow alleyways, your guide will share stories of daily life, local traditions, and the characters who have shaped this neighbourhood for generations. This is Barcelona beyond the guidebooks.
Walk through El Call, Barcelona's historic Jewish Quarter, and explore one of the city's most atmospheric neighborhoods. As you wander its narrow medieval streets, hear stories of the area's rich cultural heritage and discover how centuries of history continue to shape modern-day Barcelona. Along the way, visit a selection of beloved local bars and bodegas, from historic taverns to family-run establishments, where traditional Catalan hospitality takes center stage. Enjoy authentic tapas made with high-quality seasonal ingredients and prepared using traditional recipes. Tastings may include Barcelona's famous bomba croquette, Catalan cold cuts, pa amb tomàquet, homemade croquettes, patatas bravas, Padrón peppers, sausage in cider sauce, and other regional specialties, complemented by premium Catalan wines, including selections from the acclaimed Priorat wine region, as well as local beer.
As the evening unfolds, pass through some of the Old Town's most beautiful corners, where Gothic architecture, hidden plazas, and artistic surprises tell the story of Barcelona's rich cultural heritage. Along the way, your guide will introduce you to a traditional local sweet—a small but memorable taste of the city's culinary traditions and a perfect pause before the final stop
End your evening at a historic vermouth cellar, one of the city's most beloved social institutions. Sip a glass of traditional vermouth and enjoy a final local bite as you soak up the atmosphere and reflect on an evening spent eating, drinking, and exploring Barcelona the way locals do. By now, you'll have experienced not just the flavours of the city, but the traditions and neighbourhood culture that make Barcelona so special.

Stefano, our guide, MADE this tour spectacular! He showed us around the Gothic quarter, sharing his historical knowledge and showing us hidden gems that we never would have found on our own. Every place we went was a place we'd go back to in a heartbeat...very local, delicious food, fantastically paired drinks, in historical building and storefronts...I can't say enough great things about Stefano and this tour!
Juan was FABULOUS and very knowledgeable on the history of the Gothic region. The tappas were excellent. I liked visiting five different locations and experiencing a variety of different foods/drinks
Stefano was so great. He was so informative and explained so much of the Catalonia culture…
Stephano and the trip were wonderful. Highly recommended we had and wonderful night.
Stefano was an excellent and engaging guide. This was a great tour to experience local history, food and drink.
Stephano was wonderful. He was so informative and pleasant. We learned so much about the city and the food/drink. Everything was great except for the initial meeting place given on Trip Advisor. It was confusing as to where to meet. The other people in our group had the same issue- not sure where to meet.
A fantastic tour, plenty of food and drinks! Our tour guide was very knowledgeable, shared insights along the journey and pointed out extra places to check out in our own time.
A really enjoyable 3 hrs, in 5 bars/restaurants tasting different tapas and alcohol. Lili, our guide was excellent and full of interesting local knowledge.
Very good . Great wine and good . Good company wonderful leader
This was a fantastic tour, largely around the Gothic quarter. We went yo 4 bars and 1 patisserie - all long-established, known to locals, with amazing specialties. We would not have found any of them by ourselves. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable about Spanish food, culture, history and lifestyle, which added context and depth to the experience. Would highly recommend.

So informative!! Loved the whole night. Loved the stories and tapas and drink (and I don’t drink). So good
