What you'll see and do
Barrio Gotico (Barri Gotic)
Join us for this 3-hours-long walking tapas tour in Barcelona Gothic Quarter! With the help of our Local Expert, you’ll pass by some of the most emblematic and iconic spots of the whole city and retrace the footsteps of celebrated artists, while tasting Spanish and Catalan culinary must-haves. Accompanied by our local food expert, you will be able to experience the true essence of “vermuteo”, savour traditional, delicious tapas with typical wines and indulge in one of the first desserts ever documented. Please, bear in mind that the tastings here described may change according to the season and the availabilities of our partners.
30 minutes here
You will start your culinary journey in Carrer de la Mercè, one of the most vibrant streets of Gothic Quarter, near which you can also admire the stunning omonymous basilica, dating back to the XVII century. Here you will visit one of the oldest still running tapas bars in Barcelona, where you'll taste a glass of local wine paired with various tapas, such as fried anchovies, tomato salad and "Pincho de Botifarra", a piece of the typical “pan con tomate” (bread spreaded with tomato juice) topped by a piece of sausage.
45 minutes here
Let's continue our tapas tour in Carrer del Regomir. Nearby, we’ll enjoy a mix of delicious tapas such as the famous pan con tomate - freshly baked slices of bread with a tomato spread on top - pimientos del padron - small green peppers seasoned with olive oil - or the iconic potato tortilla. All of this will be accompanied by Cava, the “Spanish champagne”.
60 minutes here
Placa de Sant Josep Oriol
Plaça de Sant Josep Oriol is a small square behind the Famous Basilica de Santa Maria del Pi, but despite its more famous neighbour, this square is worth a visit, especially during the weekend, where an artists' market takes place and - if you're lucky enough - you can see them painting en plein air! In a tapas bar nearby, you will discover some of the best pintxos in town!
45 minutes here
Placa de Sant Jaume
Plaça Sant Jaume is the administrative heart of Barcelona, where you can admire - but only from the outside - some buildigs like the city hall or the headquarter of Catalan governement. But Plaça Sant Jaume is famous also for another place: one of the oldest bakery shops in Barcelona! Here you'll taste Crema Catalana, one of the most famous desserts in the world and the official regional dessert as declared by the Catalan Institute of Cooking (lunch only). In the evening, you will enjoy a handmade ice-cream flavoured with local ingredients like turron!

Barcelona Food Tour: Tapas, Drinks and Delights with a Local: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Barcelona.
How much does Barcelona Food Tour: Tapas, Drinks and Delights with a Local cost?
+
Prices start at $56 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Barcelona usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Barcelona Food Tour: Tapas, Drinks and Delights with a Local take?
+
Plan for about 3.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Barcelona is not rushed.
Is Barcelona Food Tour: Tapas, Drinks and Delights with a Local worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 92 out of 100, which we label "90+ Club". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 710 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Barcelona, and how flexible the cancellation terms are. Scoring 90 or above puts it in the Outty 90+ Club, the top tier of everything we rank.
Can I cancel or reschedule Barcelona Food Tour: Tapas, Drinks and Delights with a Local?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Barcelona Food Tour: Tapas, Drinks and Delights with a Local suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Barcelona Food Tour: Tapas, Drinks and Delights with a Local?
+
Around 248 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Barcelona can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Barcelona and add a light layer if any part of the 3.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Barcelona Food Tour: Tapas, Drinks and Delights with a Local start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Barcelona within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Barcelona?
+
Barcelona's Gaudí sites are capacity-limited and the official timed tickets go first, so most of the market is resellers with a guide attached. We weight those heavily on whether the guide is an architecture specialist. Beyond Gaudí, the tapas crawls in Gràcia and the Montserrat day trips carry the highest rankings in the city. On Outty we rank every Barcelona experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Costa Brava Tour: Kayak, Snorkel & Cliff Jump from Barcelona, Gràcia Tapas and Vermouth Crawl, Girona & Dali Museum Small Group Tour with Pick-up from Barcelona. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Barcelona?
+
May, June, September and October. Sagrada Família light is best mid-morning. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Barcelona?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Barcelona Food Tour: Tapas, Drinks and Delights with a Local?
+
Included: Water; English-speaking Local Tour Guide; Meals; and Alcoholic beverages. Not included: Gratuities; and Any additional food and drink. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Barcelona Food Tour: Tapas, Drinks and Delights with a Local?
+
Please, meet your Local Expert for the Do Eat Better Experience Barcelona Food Tour in front of the entrance of the Hotel Suizo Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Barcelona Food Tour: Tapas, Drinks and Delights with a Local offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

+
