Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Plaça Salvador Seguí, Carrer Salvador Seguí, 08630 Abrera, Barcelona, Spain
We take you away from the touristy spots and into local neighbourhoods, like the once notorious no-go-area Raval, which nowadays features a unique blend of ambitious new architectural projects with the traditional, multi-ethnic life of the barrio. Just a stone’s throw away, you will enjoy the first tapas experience of the night at a cosy little terrace bar, where you can pick up a pintxo of butifarra or some salmorejo, two truly traditional and tasty dishes.
Duration: 45 minutes
Stop At: Güell Palace, Carrer Nou de la Rambla, 3-5, 08001 Barcelona, Spain
We will pass The Palau Güell which is one of Antoni Gaudí's early works in Barcelona. Will hear some stories behind the building and the architect.
Duration: 10 minutes
Stop At: Rambla Del Raval, 08001 Barcelona Spain
The next tapas bar awaits us and we navigate our way through a labyrinth of small streets that still retain their old-world ambience. Our next stop is a warm bodega (wine cellar) with exquisite ham and cheese, and you’ll experience these tasty flavours accompanied by a nice white or red wine (as you do!). From there, our Barcelona tapas tour continues as we cross the Rambla de Raval, the multicultural heart of the Raval.
Duration: 45 minutes
Stop At: Cat, Fernando Botero, Rambla del Raval, s/n Esta ubicado en unos jardines publicos, 08001 Barcelona Spain
We'll have a look at the cat sculpture of the Columbian artist Fernando Botero.
Duration: 10 minutes
Pass By: Sant Pau del Camp, Carrer de Sant Pau, 101, 08001 Barcelona Spain
We will stop at the oldest church in Barcelona.
Stop At: Avenida del Paralelo, Barcelona Spain
Next up is a typical Vermuteria, where you can have a vermut (vermouth) or tinto de verano (think sangría, but simpler) and indulge in a Spanish omelette. On the way to the adjacent neighbourhood of Poble Sec we will cross Parallel, once known for its Montmartre-style entertainment, which is still cluttered with theatres, music venues, and cabarets.
Duration: 45 minutes
Stop At: Placa del Sortidor, Carrer de Blasco de Garay 50, 08004 Barcelona Spain
Poble Sec is attached to the Montjuic, Barcelona’s emblematic hillside. Still very central, it combines the charm of a lively neighbourhood with an authentic local feel away from the main tourist trails. Our next stop is a vibrant bodega, where you can choose your favourite Basque pintxo and top it all off with a glass of cava.
Throughout this Barcelona tour, as you delight in the discovery of new tastes, flavours and dishes, your guide will give you insights into local gastronomic specialties and anecdotes of the city's history and local neighbourhood life. Eating tapas is one of the best things to do in Barcelona, no doubt about that, and a great way to connect with the daily lives of the locals.

This was a very fun evening tour with my husband. Andrea was our guide and she was one of the friendliest, most outgoing and knowledgeable people we’ve ever met. She made everyone comfortable and immediately became a friend. She knows her home town and is obviously very proud of it. She took us to 4 bars where we had an awesome selection of tapas and drinks at each one. She is incredible and I highly recommend her and this tour. It was a blast and probably the most fun thing we did in Barcelona.
Edy was a amazing guide and showed us lovely tapas restaurants and bars we would not have found otherwise - each spot had its specialty drinks and tapas that gave us a true taste of Barcelona. I appreciated most that it was a small group (9 in total), giving us the chance to ask questions, move at a relaxed pace, and really get to know each other. This was our best evening of our Barcelona visit (and the best meal). I would absolutely take the tour again (especially as Edy mentioned that the itinerary changes from time to time). Thanks Edy for a lovely evening!
Eddie was amazing, very informative and helpful. Was an awesome tour, I would recommend to everyone!
Can say this enough, totally exceeded my expectations. Eddy is a great tour guide and very knowledgeable. Learned so much and enjoyed the tour tremendously, words can't express. The small fun group really made the experience special and personable. Highly recommended! Eddy is the man!
This tour was informative and tasty. Met some great new friends and had a great time. The Tapas selection was diverse enough for everyones taste buds
Alicia led us to 4 very different local venues for Tapas and drinks. Each location had excellent food which was appropriately paired with drinks. Alicia was a great hostess and we enjoyed her conversation and insights on Barcelona. Worth a return visit.
very enjoyable walking tour to 4 local tpas places, one of which was one of the oldest bars in Barcelona. Good quality and quantity of tapas and wine or beer to accompany them.Our Guide Dago provided much information about the locales, food and history of the area. The restaurants were in the Raval area
Alicia was absolutely wonderful. We visited 4 different tapas bars and each was unique in its own way. We tried a variety of foods and drinks. She was informative and pleasant. Highly recommend this tour if you want to be a local for the evening, away from the tourist traps.
