A few weeks ago, we enjoyed a wonderful evening with Ida in Barcelona. She led us on a brief tour of the Gothic Quarter before taking us to several excellent bodegas. We savored vermouth, fried sardines (which, surprisingly, my wife tried and loved), and other classic Spanish tapas. Though not a native, Ida knows the area like one. Her friendly interactions with locals in the bars and restaurants showed she’s well-known and respected there. For an authentic taste of Catalan cuisine, Ida is the perfect guide. This is a must do when in Barcelona!
My wife and I shared a wonderful evening of conversation, food and drink with Ida. Her knowledge of the history of Barcelona, and the best places to eat and drink off the usual tourist trail was excellent. She is a genuinely lovely person and a fantastic, engaging guide.The food was without exception delicious, and she even managed to get my wife to try octopus for the first time ever (which she enjoyed!). Would hugely recommend, and would consider this an essential to do for any first time visitor to the city. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Ida is an amazing tour guide! She is very friendly and knows the area so well. She took us around the Gothic Quarter to local bars and restaurants where we tried all different tapas and drinks recommended by her! A great way to get an authentic taste of Barcelona and to do a lot in a short amount of time! We showed up hungry and left so full. I HIGHLY recommend for anyone, especially if it’s your first time in Barcelona!
Tonight my son (18 yrs old) and me had the tapas tour with Ida. First we had a nice tour trough the gotic area. She gave us alle the time to explore and telling us the history of this beautiful place. Showed us churches and small streets and let us feel the history. After that we went to 3 tapas bars. We told we didn't like seafood that much and she was more then oke to let us eat good tapas and introduce us a small amount of seafood and we loved it!! We loved the tapas and the atmosphere. Thank you Ida for your kindness and lovely talks. We recommend you deeply!! Again thank you big hugs from us
Ida and her team are the best guides, offering an authentic and memorable tapas experience, where both the food and atmosphere are of the highest quality. I highly recommend them to anyone visiting Barcelona who wants to taste the country’s rich culinary heritage."
