Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Plaza del Pi, Barcelona Spain

You’ll begin your tour at one of the most iconic tapas bars in the city. Serving locals with delicious fare for decades, this spot is a must for any food lover. You’ll sample a perfectly paired aperitif along with a hand-picked selection of cured meats and cheeses. You’ll also try a true classic Spanish potato dish - a perfect introduction to the city’s specialties.

Duration: 25 minutes

Stop At: Gothic Quarter (Barri Gotic), Mediterranean Seafront to Ronda de Sant Pere, Ciutat Vella, 08002 Barcelona Spain

Before or after your introduction to one of Barcelona’s most historic spots (depending on if your tour takes place in the morning or the afternoon), it’s only fitting to take a stroll through the Gothic Quarter. As you weave through its narrow streets, passing Ancient Roman ruins, you’ll travel through a thousand years of history. Your guide will furnish you with the extra details that make the streets truly come to life.

Duration: 50 minutes

Stop At: Bar La Plata, 28 Calle Merce, 08002 Barcelona Spain

The second tapas bar on our tour opened in 1945 with a menu consisting of four tapas dishes. Naturally, these have been perfected through the years and carefully chosen to exemplify what makes Spanish food unique: simple recipes prepared with the highest quality ingredients.

Duration: 20 minutes

Stop At: Gothic Quarter (Barri Gotic), Mediterranean Seafront to Ronda de Sant Pere, Ciutat Vella, 08002 Barcelona Spain

At your last stop, you’ll be treated to a sit-down meal at a local spot dating back to the early 20th century. Indulge in a classic selection of Catalan dishes such as croquettes and cannelloni paired with local wine, and top it off with a delicious traditional dessert.

Had a great time with our group and our guide Jordi did an awesome job showing us are the quarter and giving us a very in depth history lesson. The small restaurants he picked had great Tapas and gave us a introduction to several local bites. It was the perfect start to our first day in Barcelona.

Favorite tour in Barcelona! My three kids (late teens) and I enjoyed ourselves immensely. Our tour guide (Vera A.) was engaging, energetic, extremely educated and well spoken. She could answer any question and brought history and food into every topic we casually were talking about amongst ourselves.
