Awesome day with our guide touring and tasting. He had vast knowledge of the city and very interesting stories. We really enjoyed our time and loved the market the most.

Have a back up plan! Our guide couldn’t get transportation so our tour was cancelled. While I understand “stuff” happens, it was frustrating to wait and wait then get cancelled. Also, I use these tours to get an overview of area and food scene so I can go back and revisit places. Since tour never happened (and could not be re-booked during my trip), was left to my own devices since I did not plan.

I can't believe I almost didn't do a food tour in Barcelona! Luckily another tour cancelled and I picked this one last minute. Our guide, Adrian, took us on a tour through the market while giving us a lot of different samples. Of course we ventured beyond the market and ate more.
