Which Barcelona food tour fits you
Most people should book the tapas and wine walk: it has the most food in the price and the best rating. The other five suit a smaller budget, a late dinner or a cooking class.
Foodie tours in Barcelona for couples, families and late eaters
Couples and first-timers: the tapas and wine walk, 2.5 hours from €71.
Families: the tapas night is not for children under 14, and the €53 walk is adults only. The daytime market walk is the easier choice.
Late eaters: the tapas night runs in the evening and replaces dinner.
Food tours side by side: neighborhood, length, dishes, price
The walks last 2 to 3.5 hours and cost from €45 to €71. The paella class is the odd one out: it is a 2-hour class, not a walk.
Four walks stay in the old town, around the Gothic Quarter and El Born. The market walk goes through La Boqueria, and the paella class is in Sants-Montjuïc. The table above has each price and length.
Guides on food and nights out in Barcelona
What you eat on a Barcelona food tour
You eat classic tapas: croquettes, patatas bravas, jamón, cold cuts and pa amb tomàquet, which is bread rubbed with tomato. Most walks serve enough to count as a meal.
What a Barcelona food lover tour includes, dish by dish
The tapas and wine walk serves croquettes, bravas, pimientos, paella and a dessert. The tapas night adds a bomba, a fried potato ball, plus cold cuts. The small-group wine walk serves 9 tastings, which its listing calls "equivalent to a full meal".
Where the tours go: the Gothic Quarter, El Born and La Rambla
Almost every walk stays in the old town: the Gothic Quarter, El Born and the streets off La Rambla. Three of them meet on or just off La Rambla.
The Barcelona food walking tour routes
The tapas and wine walk and the small-group wine walk both cross the Gothic Quarter and El Born. The tapas night meets at Liceu and covers about 1 mile (1.6 km) on foot. The market walk meets at the Miró mosaic, La Rambla 71.
What a tour costs vs eating the same route on your own
A food tour costs about €5 to €6 per dish or drink, worked out from the listings. On the tapas and wine walk, €71 buys 9 tapas and 4 drinks: about €5.50 an item. On the tapas night, €71 buys 8 tapas and 4 drinks: about €5.90 an item.
You also pay for the guide and the choice of bars. If you would rather eat your way around alone, Barcelona food is easy to find in the old-town bars without a guide. For what meals cost in town, see Is Barcelona expensive?.
Tapas tour, paella tour or market tour: which type to pick
Pick a tapas walk for the most dishes, a market walk for daytime food, and a paella class to learn to cook. Each type suits a different day.
The best tapas tours in Barcelona
The tapas and wine walk (4.9 from 2,634 reviews) and the tapas night (4.9 from 526 reviews) are the two top-rated walks. The €53 walk is the budget choice.
Culinary tours in Barcelona beyond tapas: paella and the market
The market walk goes through La Boqueria in daytime. The paella class is in Sants-Montjuïc, away from the old town; see getting around Barcelona for the metro.
What is included, group size and cancellation
The price covers the food and, on most walks, a set number of drinks. Extra drinks cost extra on the tapas and wine walk and on the small-group wine walk. The market walk includes no drinks.
Tips are not included on the €53 walk or the tapas night. Group sizes are up to 12 on the tapas night, 13 on the wine walk, 18 on the €53 walk and 25 in the paella class.
All six have free cancellation. The deadline shows on each listing before you pay.
Diets, kids and who should skip it
Vegetarians are fine on most walks, but vegans and gluten-free eaters have fewer options. Tell the guide about allergies when you book.
- Tapas and wine walk: vegetarian on request; no vegan or gluten-free options; not for wheelchair users.
- Tapas night: works for vegetarian, lactose-free and gluten-free diets; not advised for kids under 14.
- Market walk: no vegan or gluten-free options; not for wheelchair users.
- Tapas walk with history: adults only, not for anyone under 18.
Day or night: when to book
Book the market walk for daytime and the tapas night for dinner. For the other walks, check the start times on each listing.
A Barcelona tapas walking tour at night
The tapas night runs 3.5 hours in the evening, with 4 bars and 4 drinks. It is a small group of up to 12.
Food and drink guides to read next
For a class, a show or wine country, see the guides above. If the night goes on after the last bar, the Barcelona nightlife club scene is a separate plan.
