Traveler reviews
This is a very detailed...
This is a very detailed tour of significant buildings and architectural history of chiefly upscale residential properties and the history of Catalan families in Barcelona. Though there were 2 tapas and “beer” stops, this is a lecture tour and definitely not a party atmosphere. In that context it is definitely worth your time but it involves a lot of prolonged standing and listening I do recommend the guide Montse for her cordial demeanor and extensive art history and architectural knowledge
Tapas tour
Montse was our guide, she was fun, knowledgeable and a great guide. We had a great time and the food was awesome.
Vibes
Montse was an amazing guide! She was so knowledgeable about everything and you can tell she really loved what she was teaching us! All of the food was out of this world, and worked with many food allergies. I can not recommend this enough!
Interesting Tapas Tour
Montse was very punctual and started the tour with a bit of history of architecture and style in the Modernist area. She also told us about the creation of the downtown. We walked about five blocks, ducking into a couple of beautiful buildings to see architectural details and beautiful tile work. Our first tapas place was an authentic bar, serving tapas since the 1950s (I think.) we had patatas bravas, jamon, fried cuttlefish, caramelized cheese, pan con tomate, bistec, and sangria. We enjoyed all the tapas except cuttlefish, which was just not our thing. We then walked a bit further to see Gaudi’s buildings on the Rambla, where Montse talked about all the features and inspiration. Then we went to a delicious place for dinner tapas. We ordered jamon with pineapple, steak tartar, bimi with mushrooms, pear with fontina and candied walnuts. We also got a couple of desserts, including bombi torrija, which was unbelievable. Montse was great, as was the dining experience.
Discovering local secret spots
It was a pleasure to be guided by Montse who is a local Catalan with a rich knowledge and passion about the area. The tour involved a good balance of food, drinks, walking and knowledge sharing. Montse showed us some secret spots only a local would know about and was personable, patient and treated us like a friend. This tour will take you to places you would never know about unless you're a passionate local. You will also leave satisfied from the variety of tapas and drinks provided.
