Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Plaza del Pi, Barcelona Spain
You’ll begin your tour at one of the most iconic tapas bars in the city. Serving locals with delicious fare for decades, this spot is a must for any food lover. You’ll sample a perfectly paired aperitif along with a hand-picked selection of cured meats and cheeses. You’ll also try a true classic Spanish potato dish - a perfect introduction to the city’s specialties.
Duration: 25 minutes
Stop At: Gothic Quarter (Barri Gotic), Mediterranean Seafront to Ronda de Sant Pere, Ciutat Vella, 08002 Barcelona Spain
Before or after your introduction to one of Barcelona’s most historic spots (depending on if your tour takes place in the morning or the afternoon), it’s only fitting to take a stroll through the Gothic Quarter. As you weave through its narrow streets, passing Ancient Roman ruins, you’ll travel through a thousand years of history. Your guide will furnish you with the extra details that make the streets truly come to life.
Duration: 50 minutes
Stop At: Bar La Plata, 28 Calle Merce, 08002 Barcelona Spain
The second tapas bar on our tour opened in 1945 with a menu consisting of four tapas dishes. Naturally, these have been perfected through the years and carefully chosen to exemplify what makes Spanish food unique: simple recipes prepared with the highest quality ingredients.
Duration: 20 minutes
Stop At: Gothic Quarter (Barri Gotic), Mediterranean Seafront to Ronda de Sant Pere, Ciutat Vella, 08002 Barcelona Spain
At your last stop, you’ll be treated to a sit-down meal at a local spot dating back to the early 20th century. Indulge in a classic selection of Catalan dishes such as croquettes and cannelloni paired with local wine, and top it off with a delicious traditional dessert.

Eric was very knowledgeable about the history of the Gothic area of Barcelona. He did a great job explaining the history in a fun way. The 3 bars were excellent and the tapas we ate were very representative of the foods served here. Wines were all excellent and a nice variety. Highly recommend.

We like to start our travel with a food tour to get acquainted with a new city and learn its customs. This tour was excellent! Our guide, Mick, was full of knowledge about food and history. It was an excellent balance. We tried many different tapas and beverages. They were all very good. Mick was also willing to advise us on other places to visit we were interested in.

The food and drink was plentiful and delicious, our host was knowledgeable about the area, history, culture and shared suggestions of other areas/things to do outside of the tour. We walked down many "hidden" area, our guide showed us several unknown facts that were fascinating. It's a dinner experience you won't forgot. Enjoy!

The Tour guide was extremely knowledgeable. Interesting and entertaining. She kept us on schedule but still took time to answer any questions we had.. She chose bodegas that we never would have known about and as a result we really got the taste of authentic life and food in Barcelona.. we would highly recommend this trip.

I’ve done a number of Viatour tours over the years, in London, Edinburgh, Lisbon, Palermo and elsewhere. This one was the very best of them all. Our guide, Mick, had an enviable knowledge of the culture and way of life here in Barcelona that was the finest aspect of this tour. Not to mention his tapas and drinks selections for the group. Thank you, Mick!
