This is another reason we decided to start The Barcelona Taste: a tour that lets you experience all the great food while side-stepping the crowds.The BT, Barcelona’s first complete gastronomical tour built around the idea that there is no reason to just walk and talk about food when it’s possible to walk, talk, and eat it! « less

The Barcelona Taste food tour...the perfect way to become introduced to the flair and diversity of Tapas and everything connected with them. We were really fortunate to have Joe to ourselves (2nd May '12) and I guess we were just lucky as they are normally fully booked out . A truly terrific insight into the world of the Barcelona scene... More

This was the best tour we took in Barcelona! The Jo(e)s were friendly, knowledgeable and genuinely excited to be showing people the places they love. After quick introductions it was down to business and right to our first stop. It is a walking tour but with the way Joe and Jo have it organized, you can go to multiple places... More

The Barcelona Taste food tour was truly the highlight of our visit to Barcelona. The owners/operators, Joe and Jo are fantastic and have the people skills that can make any situation comfortable and fun. From start to finish, everything we ate was just incredible. One of the restaurants we visited will now be referred to as "my happy place" (can... More

We went together with another couple we knew and four other people, maximum group size being eight plus Joe and Jo. After a round of introductions with both our guides and fellow tourists, we set off on a tour of tapas in the old quarter. We started off with a shop specialising in cheese along with some wine. We were... More

The only reason for the overall rating for this tour is due to the price of EUR 75 per person. This is actually a lot of money in Barcelona where almost everything is quite cheap. The guides were nice and entertaining and the places they took us to were nice as well. I agree with a previous review that if... More

This was a fun and delicious tour. Jo and Joe obviously enjoy what they do. They are both personable and knowledgeable and took us to small specialty and tapas restaurants that we never would have found on our own. It was a nice contrast and change from the larger tapas places like Cal Pep and Cervesaria Catalana. I highly recommend... More
