A BARCELONA SWEET TOUR!
The sweetest treat of your trip!
Do you have a sweet tooth? When you travel, do you always try to figure out where to find the best cakes, gelato or chocolate? Is desert your favorite part of a meal?
I am like this, and that’s why I decided to create a Sweet Barcelona tour: for the fun of sharing with my guests my favorite desert spots. I know how much time it takes to google posts about top cakes or gelato in a city, then add them to a custom googlemaps and figure out if any of those places that sound delicious are maybe close to my hotel or one of the sites I plan to visit. Lots of trouble, that I want to spare you in your Barcelona trip.
If you have a half day to spare, come with me and I’ll show you the top sweet spots in Barcelona selling modern and traditional Spanish candy and desserts. It’ll be loads of fun! Oh, and come with an empty stomach: you’ll want to try them!

MEAL FACTS
Should I skip breakfast? It’s up to you: some guests skip breakfast so they can have some chocolate and churros during the tour (make sure to let your tour guide know if that’s your choice!), while some other guests prefer to have breakfast at the hotel and not eat much until the tapas portion of the tour.
Will I need lunch after the tour? Probably yes, but something light if you decide to taste goodies during the tour.
Our team is small and we can only secure a guide for you after full payment has been received.
Don’t wait until last-minute: we often book out.

WHY ARE TASTINGS NOT INCLUDED?
This isn't a cookie cutter tour.
We want to provide the most unique tour for you – not a template that anyone can copy:
Some people are adventurous eaters, while some other would rather stay in their safe comfort area; some love expensive wines, while other prefer beer. This tour should be a treat for you, so it doesn’t make sense that we make you eat a set tapas menu for a certain amount per person.
It’s way more fun if you can chose every time what you want to eat and drink. It’s also OK to not eat anything at all and later on go back to your favorite stops to buy or eat at your own pace (or not).
TAILOR THIS TOUR TO YOUR UNIQUE NEEDS
This tour is perfect for people that love deserts, sweets and chocolate and want to treat themselves for 4 hours.
If you are traveling with kids, this tour is totally kid-friendly! But if you are afraid it’ll be too much sugar for them, you might want to check our food tour, instead (it includes some sweets but also other non-sugary treats).
If you are on a wheelchair, the area covered is wheelchair accessible. Some stores might have a step at the entrance, but with good will everything should work out.
If you have walking issues, please take into account that this tour is 100% walk as it takes place mostly in pedestrian areas. The walk between stores is 2 to 10 minutes, but it’s not always possible to seat. You might want to add a driver so we can customize an itinerary for your with minimal walking.
If you love chocolate more than any other sweet, check out our chocolate tour and our wine & chocolate tour instead.
