Guidekin's take

Evening, century old bars in our Walking Tours comparison.

Trade-off: Pricier than the daytime tapas walks.

Last checked: August 27, 2026. Commissions never affect our verdicts.

Overview

Guidekin summary

An evening crawl through century-old Gothic Quarter taverns: three stops, more than ten tastings and five drinks, sized to replace dinner. A morning variant and a private option exist; hotel pickup does not.

Sip vermouth, cava, and regional wines. On this fun-filled evening, take a light-hearted crash course in Catalan culture and history. Uncover the bars beloved by locals in tucked-away plazas and try some of the best food and wine in town.

Itinerary

Placeta del Pi Stop 1
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.
25 min
Gothic Quarter Stop 2
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.
50 min
Bar La Plata Stop 3
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.
20 min
Gothic Quarter Stop 4
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.
