I thought this tour was...

I thought this tour was too heavy on sweets. I was more of a desert tour and mediocre on the savory side. Additionally, we didn’t learn much about the history or the culture of local cuisine. It was overall a disappointment.

Foodie's paradise in Barcelona

Vincent was a fabulous tour guide! Just the right amount of walking-eating and talking. The last place with the cheese and Iberian ham was so delicious-it was a great stop! I wish all food tours were like this one.

A first/second day must do

We booked this Food tour for the following morning (11am) after arriving in Barcelona from the U.S. to give us time to recoup from travel. It was the perfect thing to do! Our guide Vincent (Vincenzo) was very engaging and knowledgeable not only about the local cuisine by also the history and knew his was around very well. The food spots he took us to were superb. Savory as well as a few sweets! It really gave us a good sense of the culture, history and a lay of the land. Would highly recommend.
