Private Barcelona Gothic Quarter VIP Tapas & Wine Tour
Private Barcelona Gothic Quarter VIP Tapas & Wine Tour is a shore excursion in Barcelona, run by Eating Europe Food Tour - Barcelona. It takes 3 hours 15 minutes. From $462 per guest. Free cancellation up to 7 days before.
About this excursion
This private walking tour of the Gothic Quarter and El Born has a dedicated local guide and no strangers at the table. Across 3 hours and 15 minutes, you’ll visit three family-run restaurants and taverns for 8 to 12 tapas and desserts, poured alongside vermouth, Spanish red wine and cava.
Think silky Iberian ham, slow-braised house specialties, and a sweet Catalan finale in a dining room whose stone wall has stood since the 14th century, when it formed part of the city’s synagogue.
Because it’s just your group, the pace and the conversation follow your lead. Spend longer on the Roman forum at Plaça Sant Jaume, dig into the story of the old Jewish quarter, or quiz your guide on where to book dinner tomorrow night.
A natural fit for couples, families, celebrations and corporate hosts. Share any dietary needs at booking and we’ll do our best to adapt the tastings.
