“Mick was a fantastic tour guide who was well versed in history, and in a previous life had been a chef. Who better to guide our group on a food tour of Barcelona. He was quite amiable, and took us to places we would never have discovered on our own. We were introduced to local foods and drinks including some Catalan specialties. There was plenty to eat at each stop that we were quite stuffed by end of the tour. We leaned some history along the way and interesting local facts, and Mick made recommendations for further gastronomic exploration.”

We were impressed with Juan’s passion to engage them into shopping and cooking. Worth every euro.”
