We had a wonderful time exploring Barcelona with Elvira. We tasted some of Barcelona’s specialties and got a real feel for the city. Highly recommend this tour!!!

This is advertised as 6 tastings with two historic stops; we spent about 1 minute at one stop and never made it to another. As for the tastings we had a cone of ham, a juice, one microwaved empanada, two churro sticks and an in-store sample of fudge. Ham, juice, fudge, all of which are readily available in the US. No vermut or patatas bravas (as advertised). We stopped for coffee and WE paid for it (including his). For this we paid $80 EACH. Don't expect help from the company, we tried.

My husband and I had a wonderful tour led by Alan. He gave us a good introduction to eating in Barcelona and was incredibly knowledgeable about the area’s history. This was a great way to kick start our trip. I would definitely take another tour with Alan.
