Overview
Our tour is unique because it's led by locals, avoids tourist traps, and doesn't follow a script. Ultimately, our guides, with their passion, will show you Spain like a friend or as if you were part of their family. We choose authentic bars and adapt the pace to the group so you experience Barcelona as we do. You'll visit three of our favorite bars and wine bars on a walk through El Born, the Santa Maria del Mar area, and the Gothic Quarter to Plaça Reial, while we share stories and tips for more food and drinks afterward. Over 2.5–3 hours, you'll enjoy generous portions of tapas and a drink at each stop. These secrets and history of Spain are summarized in a tour where you'll also taste the most traditional and culturally representative tapas in Barcelona. We operate daily, in private groups, with departures at 1:00 PM, 4:00 PM, and 7:00 PM, from a central and easy-to-find location. But you can personalize starting time.
