Customer Reviews
Our 2+ week of vacationing featured MANY tours around food & wine, and this Tour Guy tour was unquestionably the best! Small tours like this are always wonderful, and this time felt VERY private -- only 4 of us! Our sommelier/guide Kailie was absolutely superb, and the 4 of us could have spent all afternoon with her!!! Kailie was so knowledgeable about both the wines she curated, and the foods selected at our 3 different restaurant stops. And by being intimately small, the 5 of us actually got to know each other too --- a bonus! A great experience, thanks to Kailie!!!
My clients thought this experience was excellent! They very much enjoyed it!
We had a great time and learned so much. Javier was so knowledgeable, and we went places I never would have known about. Food and wine offerings were excellent! Would definitely do it again on another visit.
This part was our favorite in our trip Barcelona. Authentic, delicious, and incredibly insightful.
