Overview

Explore the beautiful city of Barcelona while tantalising your taste buds. On this award-winning tour, we've pre-planned everything for you; enjoy the ease of reserved tables and priority service, as you sit back, relax, and savour the flavours of Spanish cuisine. A local guide will take you on a culinary journey through two of Barcelona’s most iconic neighbourhoods, the Gothic Quarter and El Born, where you’ll try nine traditional and modern tapas. Think patatas bravas, pimientos, fried fish, paella, and dessert, expertly paired with drinks such as wine, cava, Spanish vermouth, or non-alcoholic beverages if preferred. Along the way, you'll see important cultural sights from Roman ruins in the Gothic to the iconic Basilica de Santa Maria del Mar in Born. Since tapas are meant to be shared, this tour is ideal for families, couples, and especially solo travellers who might not otherwise get the chance to try a variety of small plates. Book now, come hungry!

Itinerary

1. Plaça de Correus
Join your guide at Pl. de Correus, 1, next to Barcelona’s historic post office. Look out for the yellow Carpe Diem Tours flag or sign. We recommend arriving 10 minutes early to start smoothly, as the tour begins right on time and refunds can’t be issued for late arrivals.
Duration: 15 mins
2. Carrer Ample
The Gothic Quarter is the heart of Catalan cuisine and a must for any foodie. Begin your culinary journey at a family-run tapas spot, tasting Spanish favourites like croquettes, patatas bravas, and pimientos de Padrón, each perfectly paired with a glass of local wine.
Duration: 20 mins
3. Carrer de la Mercè
Family-owned since 1945, this bodega has been doing things the right way for generations. With just four tapas on the menu, it celebrates the simple, soulful essence of Spanish cooking. Just steps from the port, we’ll dine like sailors of old—sharing cones of crispy boquerones, tasting traditional Catalan butifarra sausage, and sipping from a porrón alongside a glass of Spanish vermouth. *Due to seasonal holidays, weekend availability, and weather conditions, we may not be able to go to this spot but we will compensate by ordering additional food at another stop or replacing this spot with another venue.*

5. Carrer dels Banys Vells
Next, we'll head to the bohemian El Born where we'll wander down narrow alleyways to window-shop at artisanal shops and art galleries.
Duration: 10 mins
6. Carrer de Montcada
Discover the history behind tapas in the lively setting of a classic pintxos bar, inspired by the Basque Country then experience the tradition for yourself as you choose your own.
Duration: 15 mins
7. Basílica de Santa Maria del Mar
Before leaving El Born, we’ll stop and marvel at one of the most stunning basilicas in the city.
Duration: 5 mins
8. Carrer d'Avinyó
It's time for the grand finale: a savoury paella, a glass of bubbling cava, and a classic Spanish dessert.
