This was such a fun tour! Mick was a great and knowledgeable guide, and the massive variety of stops, including a few that opened specifically for the tour, gave us a fantastic experience without the crowds that large tourist centers can see. Cannot recommend highly enough, and I will definitely check to see if Devour tours are available at my future travel destinations.

We took two tours while we were in Barcelona, the Tastes and Traditions with Alessandra and the sunset Familia Sagrada tour with Alessia. My traveling companion and I were able to leave with a deeper appreciation for the sites and tastes we were getting to experience because of the passion and knowledge from our wonderful guides. I felt like it was such an incredible value, you don’t have to think you just show up to your meeting spot and get ready to adventure and learn!

Alexandra made this tour as she was an amazing guide! Understand more about the history of Barcelona and people from here. She also explained very well and clearly what makes Barcelona special and how residents want to keep it special. Food was great and everyone was terrific that we met!

We had a fantastic time on our tour with Alex Mc. Thanks to Youtube that led us to find devour tour. Highly recommend doing this food tour on your first day of visit. It is a good orientation of the foods you should be looking out for while on the trip and the best part about it, not just appreciate the taste but also learn and appreciate the roots of its origins or how/why it was created. Surely memorable and delicious!

This was a fabulous introduction to foods in Barcelona. Alex gave us the confidence to find the hidden gems in the city. Our teenage boys didn’t touch their phones once during the tour.
