How to choose
The tapas walking tour with food, wine and history is the most reviewed food tour in Barcelona. For a slightly smaller, highly rated tour, take the food walking tour with tapas and wine. In El Born, choose the El Born food tour with drinks.
Pick by neighbourhood: El Born for the best-reviewed tours and the widest range of bars; the Gothic Quarter for history and old bodegas; Gràcia for a local evening; Poble Sec for pintxos along Carrer de Blai.
What you will eat: jamón ibérico and pan con tomate, boquerones, patatas bravas, a bomba, grilled seafood or a Catalan stew, a cheese or a dessert, with wine, cava and vermut along the way. Most tours replace dinner.
Price and time: roughly 65 to 100 dollars for three hours, starting at seven or eight in the evening.
The neighbourhoods, honestly
El Born. The medieval quarter around Santa Maria del Mar has the highest concentration of good tapas bars in the city and the tours with thousands of reviews. Expect a mix of old bodegas and newer counters, a vermut stop, and a walk that also covers the history. The right first choice.
The Gothic Quarter. More crowded, but home to bars that have been serving since before the Civil War. Tours here add the cathedral and the Roman walls between stops. Good for combining sightseeing with eating.
Gràcia. A former village of small squares north of the centre where Barcelona goes out. Fewer tourists, more locals, and tours that feel like being taken out by a friend.
Poble Sec. Carrer de Blai is a street of pintxos bars where each piece costs a couple of euros; tours here are cheaper and louder and end near the Montjuïc side of the city.
What a good tour includes
Five or six stops, at least one historic bodega, a drink at every stop, tapas that are Catalan rather than generic, and a guide who orders in Catalan. Groups of eight to twelve. Tours that include a proper sit-down plate, a fideuà or a botifarra, are worth the extra.
Timing
Spain eats late: tours start at seven or eight and end around ten or eleven. Sunday noon vermut tours are the daytime alternative. Book ahead for Friday and Saturday evenings from April to October.
