About this tour

What to expect
Your guide collects you and leads a walking tour through Barcelona's oldest districts, pointing out Roman ruins and medieval architecture. The group then moves to a wine venue where you'll taste several local varieties with explanations of Catalan wine-making, plus a complimentary glass of Cava. You finish with a tapas dinner at a restaurant, where your guide stays with you to explain each dish and its place in Spanish food culture.
The pace is leisurely — this is a sightseeing and tasting experience, not a fitness challenge. Expect to be on your feet for parts of the walk, but no steep climbs or long distances. The wine and food portions are tasting-sized, designed to sample breadth rather than fill you up.
