What to expect
You'll start with a sit-down Spanish breakfast at a historic café—either churros with hot chocolate or a local soft sausage paired with cheese. From there, your guide takes you through La Boqueria Market with curated stops to taste hams, cheeses and other local specialities at carefully selected stalls. You'll then head to Sant Antoni Market, a neighbourhood favourite, for more tastings and insights into how locals shop and eat. The experience finishes with a relaxed tapas lunch at a classic bar in the area, where wine is included and you can settle in without time pressure.
Throughout, your guide adjusts the pace and stops based on what interests you. The route uses public transport between locations, and the entire experience is wheelchair accessible.

Good to know
This suits food-focused travellers, solo visitors and small groups who want insider knowledge without the high-volume tour feel. It's particularly good if you have dietary requirements, since your guide can work around them. The pace is leisurely—this isn't a rushed checklist. Be aware that markets can be busy during peak hours, though your private booking avoids joining crowds of tour groups. The experience is suitable for all fitness levels and fully accessible to wheelchair users; prams and specialised infant seats are available. All food and drink is included in the price. You'll use public transport between market stops, so be prepared for typical city transit. Early morning breakfast means an early start.
