Excellent
My fiance and I had the BEST time on this tour. Our tour guide Alex did a great job of teaching us about the history of the Gothic quarter of Barcelona, while keeping the energy entertaining and humorous when appropriate. It was so special getting to experience 3 different restaurants for tapas and drinks that we truly never would have went to on our own accord. Can’t wait to do another devour tour in future cities we travel to.

We had the very best tour of our month long trip with Devour Tours, on their Barcelona Tapas, Taverns and History tour. There were 5 of us making it an intimate fun filled night. Our guide Luke was great and the quality of the food and drinks were worth every penny. We were able to get into small local bars/restaurants that had queues out the door. We tried local drinks, such as cava, vermouth and red and white wines, which flowed freely all night. The food introduced us to beautiful tapas we hadn’t tried before. The whole evening was a joy. 5 *****

This was a fantastic tour that we would highly recommend! Our guide Andrea was friendly, knowledgable, and fun. The tour itself was a good length and combined food and drink and history really well. We learned things that we would not have learned on our own, and were taken to bars/restaurants we wouldn't have found. The food and drink were great, and we appreciate that the tour focused on small local businesses. We hope to do another Devour food tour in the future!

Alexandria was great! We loved the hole-in-the-wall spots for tapas like the bookstore! Never would have discovered on our own.
