What makes this tour special

Tapas are a fundamental element of Spanish gastronomy, and Barcelona is no exception. The Catalan capital has produced some of the world’s most innovative chefs, and its many tapas bars offer a tantalising mix of traditional dishes and modern avant-garde offerings. Our private tapas tour is a fantastic way to get a closer look at Barcelona’s culinary scene, sampling a carefully curated selection of dishes and exploring the iconic neighbourhoods of the Gothic Quarter, El Born and Barceloneta along the way.

On your private tapas tour, you will:


Starting in a lively square in the heart of the Ciutat Vella, Barcelona’s atmospheric Old Town, this private tapas tour helps you delve into the historic heart of the city, winding through the Gothic Quarter, El Born, and the seaside neighbourhood of Barceloneta. In the company of a local guide, you’ll not only taste the flavours that define the Catalan capital but also uncover the hidden stories and culinary traditions that give Barcelona its unique character. Every stop is a discovery, blending the city’s history with its thriving food culture.

You will enjoy various food tastings and delectable drinks, encountering both beloved classics and modern innovations. In Barceloneta, you’ll have the chance to bite into a bomba, an irresistible croquette-like explosion of potato and spice, born in this very quarter. You can sip vermouth the way locals do before dinner, and try your hand at drinking crisp white wine from a porrón, a peculiar glass pitcher that actually serves a practical purpose. You can enjoy a glass of Cava, Spain’s sparkling answer to Champagne, and sample a selection of other dishes (often determined by what is in season) that may include Basque-inspired pintxos or a robust fideuà, a hearty noodle-based alternative to stereotypical Spanish paella.

Along the way, you’ll explore what makes Catalan cuisine distinctive: its Mediterranean roots, its seasonal ingredients, and how it is influenced by the geography of the region, nestled between the mountains and the sea. The tour concludes with a sweet Catalan pastry, the perfect finale to a journey through the flavours of the city. By the end of your time together, you’ll have more than a satisfied appetite: you’ll understand how Barcelona eats, celebrates, and comes together around the table, leaving you with memories and tastes you’d never find on your own.
