Barcelona Slow Travel Reviews FAQs
Only past customers can leave a review on Barcelona Slow Travel’s website, by filling it directly through the website. We personally verify the authenticity of each review to guarantee it is genuine and will discard reviews from users who did not book and/or did not have an experience with us. We may also download customers reviews from our Tripadvisor or Yelp profiles.
It’s simple! Go on the page of the experience you participated to and scroll down to the bottom of the page. A “Leave a review” field will appear under the reviews. There, you will have to fill all the forms (rating, review, name and email) in order to submit your review. Note that reviews only appear online after we have verified them. This process might take several days.
Our review system is powered by WordPress, which uses Gravatar to feature pictures. Gravatar simply associates your e-mail with the picture of your choice, and it works on several different websites. To activate your gravatar, you need to sign up to this link: https://en.gravatar.com/
Note: If you do not wish to sign up with Gravatar, kindly send us a picture and tell us which e-mail you used to write your review. We’ll manually associate the picture to your review.
Cooking Experiences FAQs
Our cooking experiences are children friendly, which means there is no minimum age required to participate.
Babies 0 to 3 years old may join for free. Note that no food or drinks are included for babies 0 to 3 years joining for free in our experiences. Parents will need to make their own arrangements to take care of their babies and will be fully responsible for them during the duration of the experience.
Our cooking experiences are suitable for all levels. Make sure you let us know about your level, especially if you’re experienced in the kitchen, as we have many available options to further dive into Catalan cuisine and cook complex dishes. Although most of our cooking classes focus on traditional Catalan and Spanish cuisine, we have contacts with famous chefs offering haute cuisine and are able to organize a Michelin-star cooking class should you require it.
We are very comfortable when it comes to adapting our menus. We can cater to all types of dietary restrictions, preferences and allergies. Please add a note to your request and we’ll offer you a customized (and customizable) menu fitting your needs. Please note that menu customization is only available after the booking has been made.
Nothing. We provide everything you need for the experience. So, bring your best smile and get ready to enjoy!
Penedes Wine Tour FAQs
Our Penedes Wine Tour can be made children friendly by adding a visit to a cheese producer for example. It is especially recommended for children who are curious about discovering local life and to meet with local farmers.
There is no minimum age.
The Penedes Wine Tour happens rain or shine. In case of anticipated rain, try to bring with you a raincoat and appropriate clothes. Your guide will always try to make his best to adapt the tour to any external conditions. Should the weather be dangerous (storm or natural disaster, very unlikely!) we will get in touch and see with you what’s best to do. In the case we decide to cancel the tour, we would fully refund you.
Yes!
We offer discounts for children 4 to 14 years old for most of our experiences. They will be given in the quotes you’ll receive from us after requesting an experience.
For tours with private transportation included, babies 0 to 3 years old may join for free if a baby seat is available and as long as there is space available in the vehicle offered for the experience. If there is no space available and we need to use a larger vehicle, an extra fee will be required. Note that no food or drinks are included for babies 0 to 3 years joining for free in our experiences. Parents will need to make their own arrangements to take care of their babies and will be fully responsible for them during the duration of the experience.
