Ten to twelve tastings and three drinks are included; stops can vary and severe food allergies cannot be accommodated, with 4.99 from 163 reviews at €150 per person for 3h 15m. In our comparison: #17 of 76 in Food & Tapas Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (table below). ## Overview Poble Sec and Sant Antoni offer a close look at local Barcelona life, with narrow streets, old theaters like El Molino and a pace shaped by residents rather than tourists. As you walk, you’ll hear how these neighborhoods developed, how outdoor social culture like terracear became part of daily life and why this area still feels grounded even as it slowly changes. The tastings reflect that same local rhythm. At each stop, you’ll try a variety of small dishes, from Cádiz-style tavern bites such as fried fish or cured tuna to seasonal platillos prepared in a tiny chef-run kitchen that opens only a few nights a week. The evening ends with a couple of nostalgic desserts paired with cava. Each stop offers a different mix, depending on the day and the group’s preferences. ## Before you book - Meeting point: Your guide will be waiting for you in… - Group size varies by option: small group from €150 · private from €200 - Starts 18:45: one departure a day - Food included: ‘Food & the City’ Insider Tips - Strollers OK: infants accepted - Age 18+: minimum age to join **Pickup:** No hotel pickup: everyone meets at the start point ## Key facts - Price: from €150 per person for the Small-Group Food Tour (8 max) option; other options up to €200 - Duration: 3h 15m - Rating: 4.99/5 from 163 reviews (collected from Guidekin & Viator & Tripadvisor) - Free cancellation (see policy below) - Operator: Europe Taste by Eating Europe - Group: Group size varies by option: small group from €150 · private from €200 - Guide languages: English - Start times: 18:45 - Booking: Instant confirmation, mobile ticket - Price checked on Viator: 2026-10-02 ## Reviews 4.99 from 163 ratings on Guidekin, Viator & Tripadvisor. 100% of ratings with a star breakdown are 4 or 5 stars: 163 of 163. - 5 stars: 161 (99%) - 4 stars: 2 (1%) - 3 stars: 0 (0%) - 2 stars: 0 (0%) - 1 star: 0 (0%) ### What reviewers say Reviewers praise the varied tapas, wine pairings and local insight; some find the walk between stops too long. **Praised:** - Generous portions of varied tapas with well matched wines - Clear explanations of local food, neighbourhood history and customs - Small local restaurants away from the busiest tourist areas - Friendly conversation and a sociable small group - Thoughtful handling of dietary restrictions and food preferences **Complaints:** - Some found the walk between restaurant stops too long Written by Guidekin from the 100 most recent English reviews on Viator & Tripadvisor (2024-02-29 to 2026-10-01); last checked 2026-10-03. ## Tour options Prices are the operator's current list price for two travellers (whole euros); options sold only to bigger parties say so; pick the option on the booking page. | Option | Price | Guide languages | Details | |---|---|---|---| | Small-Group Food Tour (8 max) | €150 / person | English | Enjoy 10-12 tapas and 4 drinks through Poble-Sec's family-run taverns and chef-run kitchens few tourists find.
