About this experience

On this 3 hour food tour we worm our way through the city's old but vibrant performing arts district, calling in at 3 uniquely different venues. Poble Sec is centrally located, but feels miles away from the touristy crowds. The food is exceptional, with several of the traditional dishes offered with a little twist.

This is not a large historical walking tour with only a snack to look forward to at the end. As a Barcelona-only company we only work with independent, local restaurants, chosen for their best-in-class food and desserts. We promise you won’t go hungry.

After 10 years of running tours, we know the best tours should feel like dinner out with a friend of a friend. In this small group tour, conversations will flow, and your guide will safely lead you through Barcelona sharing a personal, relaxed evening. Chat about the neighbourhood, food, and anything else that comes up – be it about Barcelona life, culture or history.

As recommended by Rick Steves, Lonely Planet and more!
