Taste your way through the Catalan capital on a Private Barcelona Tapas Tour, an ultra-exclusive, award-winning experience in the heart of the city. We’ve handled the details so you can skip the crowds and go straight to the good stuff: real Spanish cuisine made by locals. Food is an essential part of Catalan culture, and no trip to Barcelona is complete without sharing tapas or “small plates.” Over two and a half hours, you’ll visit four of the city’s best tapa hotspots where you’ll get dedicated attention from your guide, try a variety of traditional tapas and drinks, meet the locals who make them, and see hidden cultural gems along the way.
Your private guide will take you and your group on a walk through the city's trendiest, historic neighbourhoods. See Roman ruins in the Gothic Quarter before heading into El Born to window-shop at artisanal shops and art galleries, marvel at the Basilica de Santa Maria del Mar, and wander through picturesque squares. In between sights, try small bites like spicy patatas bravas, fresh pimientos de Padrón, and crispy fried fish paired with local wine, vermouth, and cava. From crunchy croquettes and unique Basque pintxos to paella and a Catalan dessert, you’ll treat your taste buds to the best of Spanish gastronomy and Catalan classics and learn about the history and evolution of this world-class cuisine.
Whether you're on a family holiday, a team-building with colleagues, or a romantic couple's retreat, this is the best way to spend time with the people who mean the most to you, with a passion for food.
