Don’t just take our word for it
Theresa knew her stuff! She clearly has a deep appreciation and knowledge of food, both locally and abroad. We loved sharing our experiences with her as we explored the market. The additional stops we made really supported a “under the surface” perspective on food culture and local history. Our time with Theresa was amazing and her local recommendations were on point. The restaurants we enjoyed based on her word were some of our favorites. We would love to work with Theresa and with Context again.
Our tour with Esther was great! She was so knowledgeable and kind, answering all of our questions. We learned so much about Catalonian culture through her expertise and left with full bellies and a bulging bag of leftovers! When we finished, she recommended an incredible place for lunch and personally escorted us there. We were more than pleased to with the experience!
