Fun, Food, And Wine

So glad I booked this. Even though I was pretty much dead from being awake for 27 hours of traveling. My mother and I still came out and had a great experience. Our guide, Alejandro, was sociable, knowledgeable, and extremely helpful. He ran into a hotel lobby to get my mother a map of the city. And he spoke very good English.
We walked to four tapas places. Everything was great. Especially the place with the fried sardines. Those were the highlight. At one of the places they served a charcuterie dish and one of the people in the group didn't eat meat but they accommodated him. Which I thought was cool. Between food and drink we made short stops where he told us about history and facts about the area. Glad we didn't cancel because we had a memorable time!

Perfect start of our Barcelona visit

We booked a private Born to Eat tapas tour on our first night in Barcelona. Marwa was our tour guide, and she was excellent! Even though the booking said maximum 8 people, she was able to have the whole group of ten people. We visited several great places for food and drinks, and Marwa was very knowledgeable about food, wine and the history of Barcelona. She also gave us some great suggestions on where to go for shopping, food and drinks during our stay. This was the perfect start of our Barcelona visit, and we highly recommend this tour to anyone that may visit Barcelona! Thanks again, will be back for more next time!

Wanderbeak: Born to Eat Tapas Tour

Phenomenal

I love being outdoors, so, I expected this to be good. Well, it exceeded my expectations. Ferran has knowledge AND experience. He contacted me before the hike to find out if I had a particular interest and my fitness level. On the hike, he shared with me interesting facts about the area and he made sure I was safe and that I felt comfortable.

I definitely recommend it! I got the physical challenge I was looking for, I took breathtaking pictures (I tried), and I experienced an unexpected sense of peace and joy. I LOVED IT!

Montserrat Mountain Hike from Barcelona

Must do upon arrival!

This was an awesome way to get an intro to Barcelona. Our guide was awesome and gave us the perfect mixture of history of the food and landmarks we were seeing. We got to see the 3 mains areas of the old part of town so it was a great way to get to know the city center.

This was A LOT of food! We were definitely stuffed at the end.

Great local guide, excellent food and drinks

We had a really lovely guide Tanit, who took us to some great venues and also shared some history of the town along the way. She had great knowledge of the food and wine and was able to answer any questions. Would recommend this tour!

Highlight of our visit to Barcelona

Can't recommend this tour enough!
My family and I (there's 5 of us) were very keen to do a walking tapas and wine tasting tour during our short visit to Barcelona. We wanted to make sure we did a tour that wasn't too long, not too much walking, but plenty of tasty food and drink and I can honestly say Wanderbeak has hit the nail on the head with the tour that they offer! We were taken around the Gothic Quarter of Barcelona where we were given interesting information about the history, culture and local traditions, taken to unassuming but fabulous typical Spanish restaurants which we would never have thought to go in ourselves but I'm so glad we got to experience it, and tasted an array of different types of Spanish cuisines and deserts! To top all of that off, our guide Rowan was fab, very personable and chatty with a great sense of humour. He made the tour interesting and it is obvious a lot of time and thought has been invested into providing the best possible experience for tourists. I will definitely be recommending this as a MUST DO to any of my friends that travel to Barcelona!

Amazing workshop

We are a family of 4 (10 and 14 yr olds) who wanted a unique experience in Barcelona, so booked the Gaudí Tour & Mosaic Workshop and it was AMAZING! Christian started us off with a walking tour of some of Gaudí's (Casa Mila, Casa Batllo) and works by other architects of his time. He gave us a great overview of Gaudí--answering every one of our questions--and made the walking tour interesting to all 4 of us (not an easy feat, as it was booked on our second day there and we were jetlagged). Then he dropped us off at Angelika's studio where we could have stayed for hours working on our mosaics. All four of us were TOTALLY engaged in our projects. The best thing about this tour is you go home with both more knowledge of the city and one of its most famous architects and an amazing souvenir that you've made yourself. We LOVED this experience and would highly recommend it to everyone who wants something really special from Barcelona. Thanks so much, Christian and Angelika. You made our stay extra special!

Tapalicios and Gourmet Gaudi

We did the Tapalicious tour and had so much fun with Marwa as our tour guide that we decided to do the Gourmet Gaudi tour with her 2 days later. The Gourmet Gaudi tour was extremely enjoyable as well. Since we felt like we already knew Marwa it was really like a friend showing us some of the architecture and the food she loves. Gaudi's work is incredible but the other architecture in the city is equally astounding and Marwa did a great job of pointing out the details that make Barcelona's buildings so incredible. We ate at Roca Moo and were not disappointed. Food and service were fantastic and it was great to be enjoying the experience with a local that was knowledgable enough to give us all the background information about the restaurant and its dishes. Again the portions were generous and great value for money.

I cannot choose the better of the two so if you can afford it, do both.

Highly recommend this experience!

What a wonderful afternoon! Our family (teens and their parents) so enjoyed our private tour of Barcelona with Christian! He is incredibly knowledgeable about Gaudí and “modernism” architecture. We traipsed around the city, stopping to look at fabulous architecture and hearing great stories along the way. Christian is a wonderful guide, had lots to share and made the two hours fly by. After our leisurely, two hour promenade, Christian handed us off to Angelika and we made lovely mosaics in her studio in an hour! We had our own private space, were offered to either make a magnet or decorate the top of a small box. We all chose the magnets and had such fun creating a pattern out of glass or ceramic tiles, a la Gaudí! We left on time with our beautiful work of art. We would all HIGHLY RECOMMEND this wonderful and unique experience! Thank you for such a fun filled and enjoyable afternoon!

Best Tapas Tour

Booked a private (4 people total) Born to Eat tapas tour on our last night in Barcelona. The tour was absolutely amazing. Rowan was our guide and he was excellent. Very knowledgeable about food, wine and all things Barcelona. We went to 4 different places for food. Each stop included drinks and last stop included wine tasting with 3 different wines. Plenty of alcohol was included. After the tour, we all went to an amazing cocktail bar with a killer atmosphere and drinks. This wasn't part of the tour but Rowan ended up staying with us till the end. The entire evening lasted about 5 hours. I would highly recommend this company to anyone looking for a great night out. If you have at least 4 people in your group, doing a private tour is worth the extra money as it was not a big difference in price. Either way, you will not leave disappointed.

Awesome cooking experience

We did the Spanish Cooking Class a couple of nights ago in Barcelona. It was a great all round Spanish food experience. Starting with the introduction to the large Barcelona Markets - learning about the meat, locals, seafood, spices and taste testing ingredients and of course buying some essential ingredients for our Paella. We then walked to the cooking/dining location - nice walk through central Barcelona. Lovely little authentic restaurant set up where we prepared tapa like starters and then the Paella. We also were served Sangria and told how to make it. He answered all our questions, shared his experience and got to know the group while the coking process took place. We then all enjoyed the amazing food. Would definitely recommend this for an evening in Barcelona!

Exciting travel trough the Roman times in Tarragona

We were picked up in the Hotel on time and with a friendly guide Alex explained plenty of histories and anecdotes on the way to Tarragona. He was very knowledgeable about the history and about the area we were going trough. We wanted to go to Tarragona because we wanted to be little bit out of the typical tourist tracks, and we could really feel the Tarragona Catalan soul, at the same time discover the exiting Roman past trough the city. As a final point we had a stop in the beautiful mediterranean city of Sitges, with a charming walk through the center and the promenade. We really recommend this tour. the company always answer us to all the question before we booked, so we really recommend this tour and In Out Barcelona Tours

Marwa's Gourmet Gaudí Tour

Marwa's tour, Gourmet Gaudí, was just the best way to experience beautiful Barcelona.. a totally unique take on a food tour, this was a guide through the famous architecture of the emblematic street of Passeig de Gracia along with some high-class nosh. Marwa is the perfect guide, bubbly and fun, knowledgeable and concerned about her guests all at the same time. We were so well fed by the end of it.. the highlight being the Gourmet lunch carefully designed by Marwa herself along with the chef at the restaurant. I won't give too much away but let's just say you'll definitely get a taste of "Michelin " here on this tour. Don't miss out on this one it's 100% worth it. We loved Marwa!!

Worth it!

I'm not a big one for tours as I find them too big and non-traditional, however I could not be more wrong about Wanderbeak. My fiancé & I met with both tour guides Marwa & Rowan for their 3-hour food & wine tour and found it exceptional. From the easy booking process to the amazing food destinations and drinks to cure anyone's taste buds, the tour was more of an afternoon with friends.
We were the only two people on this tour and so we felt like it was a more intimate, private tour & felt very lucky!
Marwa also gave us some great suggestions on where to spend our birthday dinner and she couldn't be more on point.
Thanks again, will be back for more next time!

The Spanish Trails Food and Wine tour was definitely the highlight of our trip to Barcelona. Our tour guide, Aurora, was energetic, informative, and really had a love and understanding of food and wine. Danny was very helpful in trying to organize this trip for us, as the Food and Wine tour was not originally available for the day that we wanted. He even offered us a discount for the Foodie tour to help when he thought we would not get to go on the Food and Wine tour! This is a great company with great employees and I highly recommend every person who visits Barcelona to make this event a priority! It will be the BEST thing you do!

A great photography tour with an excellent guide

Andrei was our guide on a photography tour at 11am on Friday 29th May 2015. We thought we'd simply have more time to take our own photos but we soon realised that our guide was an expert photography teacher. He was not only very knowledgeable on his subject but also on the history of Barcelona and he told us some fascinating stories. We spent a great 3 hours with him during which time we learnt a lot both about the city and also how to take better photos (his approach is very hands-on). He is witty, intelligent and inspiring. We plan to go on his tour again next year when we visit Barcelona again. Highly recommended *****

Amazing Photo Walk Tour w/Andrei!

My husband and I did 2 photo walk tours w/ Andrei while in Barcelona last week. Our first was a night tour during which Andrei worked to help us improve the knowledge of setting our cameras manually and how to take artistic photos that tell a story. In addition, he imparted a lot of interesting stories and facts about Barcelona. Our Gaudi daytime photo tour was equally as fun and insightful. Andrei is so passionate about photography and eager to share his knowledge. We have done other photo tours but these were the best and I am actually using my manual settings and pleased with my results.

Barcelona Tapas Tour

My wife and I along with 2 friends were a part of a small group (8 in total) that took the Wanderbeak Tapas tour through Barcelona. It was a fantastic experience and truly one of the highlights of our visit to Barcelona! Our tour host, Blanca, was the most friendly, engaging and knowledgeable guide we could have imagined! The food was and drink was wonderful and we learned so much about the history and culture of Barcelona from Blanca's from Blanca's commentary along the way. She was exceptional and we recommend this tour highly to anyone that may visit Barcelona. Thanks Blanca!

Incredible food tour

Marwa was awesome! The experience was incredible – everything from the food, the history, the stories, and the company. The experience is unmatched. It felt like a group of friends learning about the history of this fascinating city and enjoying the best food and drink it has to offer. It didn't feel like a tour but more like a gathering of friends that you didn't want to end. Marwa was extremely knowledgeable and friendly and offered recommendations for other things to do in Spain as well. Best tour I have ever been on. Highly recommend it to anyone travelling to Spain!
