This tour was extremely fascinating. Montse is very knowledgeable and exuberant. We loved her energy. She gave us such comprehensive history. She educated us on foods, history, etc.
Montse was AMAZING! She was very passionate and familiar with the tour of the markets and the area. She gave great suggestions for restaurants and areas to go to beyond the tour. Definitely loves what she does! We saw amazing things and ate great food.
Our tour guide, Andre was fantastic! Great tour of the city and wonderful food. He did an amazing job showing us sights we wouldn't have found on our own.
Montse was very knowledgeable and informative during the tour. Additionally she was energetic and was able to secure food and drink for us wherever she decided to visit.
Montse was a wonderful tour guide, she was a wealth of knowledge on Barcelona and the markets. She went above and beyond the usual tour guide and sent us additional information on things we had questions about.
Montse was an excellent guide. She was super informative and we were able to try a great variety of foods at La Boqueria including an amazing tortilla espanola, paella and Catalan version of octopus and cod. We also tried some great cava, churros and chocolate and amazing cheese in addition to learning a lot about Catalan culture. Definitely recommend!
Montse was our guide on a food tasting tour. She was very informative and knew the area very well. She had great passion for her work and tried our best to get the taste of the culture we were involved with. I highly recommend her as a guide for anyone interested in Barcelona foody tours
So many stalls. So many options. Only one stomach. From raw oysters to chocolate strawberries. From tapas to dried fruits. So many jamon stalls. Don’t know where to begin? Go down aisle by aisle and see what screams to you first. And then repeat.
Great Experience. Very knowledgeable. Well rounded food sampling. Daniele did a great job navigating through large crowded areas. And balanced the trip out with some quieter areas. Over all would do it again.
We had the most amazing experience with our guide! She made us feel like family, and tailored the tour to our taste. My 10 year old daughter enjoyed it as well. Lots of great information, and a fun time tasting the local delicacies. I definitely recommend this tour.
Absolutely the worst experience ever. They are so incompetent. Not only did the guide arrive too late, wasting our time but also did not speak the right language. I am never again booking with this company.
We enjoyed our food tour and good tasting. Daniel did a great job! The food was enjoyable. Thank you!
We were met by our guide, Olga, and the predetermined place of Placa Real, exactly on time. Olga started our walking tour through the old city explaining the rich history of the neighborhood. Our first tapas stop was amazing. We had ordered several dishes that were recommended by Olga and loved every one. Of course, there was a nice glass of a regional sangria to accompany. Although Olga was Russian, she was very fluent in Spanish and certainly knew her stuff. At first we thought that it was a bit expensive EU 200 for 2, but then realized it included all food and drink. By the time we got to our 3rd tapas bar, we had a hard time trying to sample more food. Of course, not so with the sangria. We ended with a wonderful gelato bar and then bid goodbye to our wonderful Olga. We would highly recommend booking with this company.
Montse's guide on the tapas tour was excellent both in her treatment and regarding her orientation, knowledge, and explanations about the food and the markets we visited.
We really liked the places the guide took us to, the explanation was very good, and we learned a lot. We ate very well and the drinks were of very good quality.
The tour was very informative and a culinary delight. Our tour guide Montse showed us many sights that we didn't know about.
You must have seen the market, have almost everything in food, extremely many visitors, hardly any space to eat, absolutely overpriced!!
