Our take
It's a full, affordable tapas tour: paella, sangria, freshly made tapas, local beer, coffee and something sweet, spread through the old town with a guide who weaves history and trivia between bites. The early reviews are perfect (5 out of 5 from 30 reviews). It costs about €31 per person, which is little for everything included. Come hungry. If you want a tapas tour for your first night in Barcelona, it's a safe bet.
