# Barcelona: Guided Food Walking Tour with Tapas and Wine

**Guidekin's take:** Two and a half hours through El Born and the Gothic Quarter with pre-booked tables at four local tapas bars, so there is no queuing with the crowds. Vermouth, cava and wine are poured along the way; vegetarian swaps exist at every stop, vegan and gluten free diets cannot be covered.

## Overview

One of the best ways to experience Barcelona is through its food, and this award-winning tapas tour takes the guesswork out of where to go and what to try. With thousands of bars and restaurants dotting the city, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. Skip the endless review scrolling and let us handle everything for you.

Enjoy priority service with pre-arranged reservations at four of the city’s most beloved, locally-recommended tapas spots in the Gothic and El Born neighbourhoods. Savour the experience as you sample nine authentic tapas dishes like patatas bravas, croquettes, paella, and dessert paired with regional drinks like cava, vermouth, and wine, or go alcohol-free. 

As you stroll between each stop, see Roman ruins and sites like the iconic Basilica de Santa Maria del Mar while listening to your expert local guide share fascinating history and insight into the history and evolution of Catalan cuisine.
