    We recently completed the Madrid Tapas and Flamenco Tour and had an incredible evening with Arantxa, our guide, and a small group of six. It was a great way to learn about the history and artistry of Flamenco, as well as a deep dive into Tapas culture in Spain. We met the local artisans that make the shoes and guitars used in Flamenco and details to watch for during the show that make it a special event. We enjoyed a tasty sampling of Spanish cheeses and meats with a delicious choice of wine in a histor, family-owned shop. We found Arantxa to be extremely knowledgeable during the tour, and would highly recommend booking with her during your time in Madrid. Thank you Devour Tours and Arantxa for enhancing our stay in Madrid! Olé!

    We did the Madrid Tapas, Taverns & History Tour with Dan. What an AMAZING experience! It was the perfect mix of Madrid & Spain history and amazing local food and drinks. Dan was very knowledgeable and explained everything very well. The local multi-generational family owned restaurants and cafes had their own specialties that we tried. Including drinks. An absolute must try if your visiting Madrid and especially if it is your time here. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

    A phenomenal must-do in Madrid! The tapas tour was the perfect mix of history and food, the right length, and gave us all fantastic tips and context for how to engage with Spanish food culture. Carolyn the guide was a local and fantastic storyteller, and such a warm and inviting presence! The food and drink amounts were great (you will NOT leave hungry) and the restaurants were all true hidden gems. Plus the foods were unexpected, I learned so much and will definitely repeat this experience in other cities as I travel!

    Carolyn provided an amazing tour experience! All of the tapas dishes were excellent and she tied in a lot of interesting history along the way. We’ll definitely do other tours with Devour!!

    Our tour guide Yvonne was wonderful. Our tour took us through beautiful Madrid to many wonderful spots. The thing we love most about a food tour is that it gives you a lovely snap shot of great local spots, some history of the city you are visiting, and a smattering of different kinds of foods to experience. This tour was no exception. The food was everything from familiar to unique. It challenged our taste buds with some unexpected treats. We LOVED the calamari sandwich off Plaza Mayor and drooled over the chorizo stuffed roll. Our tour guide was simply lovely. She was educated about the spots, and it was nice to see her so familiar with the vendors. It ensured that she too loved the spots we were visiting. We had a small group of 4 which made the tour feel private and intimate. She was very accommodating to our questions about Madrid's food beyond the tour and had great life experiences to share. I particularly enjoy it when a guide takes an opportunity to eat at a couple of the spots with you. It feels so personal to share a meal with a local. We left STUFFED and headed right back to the hotel for a nap. It was a wonderful way to spend the late morning and early afternoon to explore Madrid.

    This tour was exactly what we were hoping for. Our guide, Yvonne was extremely knowledgable in the history of the area and did an excellent job keeping our group of history fanatics engaged. Every stop for food was an excellent choice that we would be happy to revisit. The evening ended alongside another tour that wrapped up a little before ours and their guide, Carolyn joined in our conversation making it an even more special evening. I don't know what time we were supposed to finish, but I'm sure we kept the guides out later than they were scheduled. Not only did we learn about some of the history of Madrid and the great food offerings, but also. made two new friends. We will definitely look into booking additional tours with them.

    Our Madrid Food and History tour was absolutely amazing. Our tour guide, “Isaach” was superb. We were in a tour group of the best 12 people ever. Thank you Devour Tours for exceeding our expectations and helping us to meet new friends.

    We did the market tour and Spanish food cooking experience through Devour today and really enjoyed it. In particular, the guide and the chef were friendly, knowledgeable, and happy to answer questions from anyone on the tour. The market we went to today (Anton Martin) was a good mix of trendy/accessible and authentic, and they accommodated a food allergy for one of the people in our party during the cooking experience. Highly recommend Devour if you're thinking about booking experiences in Madrid.

    We enjoyed the Madrid tapas & history tour in September 2022. We are a mother daughter duo and we thoroughly enjoyed this experience. We were a fun group of 9, guided by Isaac….from Detroit….living in Spain for 9 years now. Isaac is clearly a history buff and we loved that element of the tour. The food stops were just perfect for us and included sampling the most delicious deep friend codfish, vermouth (which I thought I disliked but was wrong), gambas al ajillo, pimientos de Padron, stuffed mushrooms, grilled asparagus, Galician crepes, tinto de verano, vino and / or beer. It was a memorable, fun night! A special thank you to Anthony from Jersey now in Jupiter Florida…..such a kind yet hysterical young man who ensured that my mother was managing ok given some mobility issues!

  • 5/5 Martha Q. 1 year ago on Google
    We had a fantastic time with Issac on our tour. He was very knowledgeable in history and food. He made the experience a memorable one. My absolute favorite was the stop where we had the mushrooms (the most delicious tapa ever!!!). We spent four hours walking, talking, learning and eating. It was wonderful! If you're headed to Spain you should consider doing this first. It'll give you a foundation on the food scene and culture in Madrid or anywhere they offer these tours!

    This tour was fantastic and our guide David was great! I will recommend this tour to everyone coming to Madrid. David was funny, super knowledgeable and just fun to be with. We ate a bunch of great food, we drank vermut, Cava, white wine, red wine, beer, hot chocolate and coffee! We learned so much about the food, the people and the city! Super happy!

    I jumped on their Tapas, Taverns & History Tour Madrid immediately after arriving in Madrid. What a way to begin l! Daniel our guide was knowledgeable, warm and engaging with charm and sense of humour. His passion and love for his hometown shines through. Each stop was well thought out, with plenty of time to enjoy. The food was outstanding and the variety was perfect. Great choice of drinks to accompany the food. Add to this a great intro to the history of Madrid and you're ready to explore on your own. I can't recommend enough.

    Nice and fun paella cooking class. Great for beginners who hardly have experience in cooking too. Happy to learn how croqueta is made. Easy now.

  • 5/5 KrazyAdri S. 6 months ago on Google
    My highlight tour of the Prado followed by lunch at Botin was a wonderful experience. Montse was a fabulous guide. Very knowledgeable and personable. I usually don’t like tours, but this one is definitely worth it. Be prepared to walk and climb stairs though. The museum is large and the city is hilly.

  • 5/5 Jonathan M. 9 months ago on Google
    What an excellent tour! The perfect amount of walking and eating/drinking. Our tour guide Flo was amazing! She was super knowledgeable of Spanish history and how that related to the Spanish cuisine. We had lovely tapas of Iberico Ham, Ox tail pouch, Shrimp in bubbling oil (made famous by Phil), and a final meal of incredible chorizo, mushrooms, potatoes and eggplant from Casa Toni. There was also Vermut at every establishment. We even went back to one of the restaurants another time and had an incredible meal. Thank you to Flo and Devour tours. Will definitely be trying more of these tours in the future!

    Oh, my goodness, Ariana Cardenas was our tour guide. She was knowledgeable about all the food, beverages, and history of certain places along the way. We enjoyed the new beverages we had and the many different tapas we had never enjoyed before! Educational along with delicious food and friendly people. We would recommend this tour to our friends and family to tour with Devour Tours. Thank you, Devour Tours, for a wonderful experience! #arianac10 Respectfully, Janet and Paul Hernandez ☮️💕

    Isabel was a wonderful guide - wonderful knowledge and appreciation both for the food and drink to experience in Madrid and for Flamenco. I tried and enjoyed foods I never would have tried on my own. I felt like I got so much more out of the experience of the show because of the knowledge I gained on the tour. Totally recommend.

  • 5/5 Su Yeon L. 2 years ago on Google
    The Tapas, Taverns & History Tour in Madrid with Carolyn was one of the best if not the best tour I have been on. Carolyn is a natural born storyteller. There was never a point in the tour where I felt learning about the history of Madrid was ever boring. She is engaging, funny, and personable. It as if we were meeting up with and old friend. We went to several local tapas bars, and each place had a specialty that they excelled in. Every place had its own charm and history and the food was so good that at the end of the night we couldn’t rate which place we liked best. Plates were empty and bellies were full. Would definitely recommend!

    Hands down our family’s favorite tour in Madrid. I had 6 people including 3 teenagers (18, 16 and 14) and grandma with us too. History, good food, good drinks and good company. Thank you Carolyn for a memorable night where we made new friends, taught my 82 year old mother how to take a selfie and tried new foods. Loved the sweetbread! There is a lot walking and it was a little far for my mother who occasionally has trouble keeping up, but it was her favorite tour too. Thank you all for a great Tapas and Taverns tour and a memorable night!

    This was a really cool experience. Got to eat some great local food and learn a bit of the history of Madrid as well.

  • 5/5 Crystal M. 2 years ago on Google
    Carolyn was amazing! She was very knowledgeable about Madrid and the entire tour was very entertaining. I enjoyed the group I was with and although I came solo, I didn’t feel left out at all. Everyone was friendly and the tapas we tasted were good as well. Never heard of vermouth before but it was very tasty. I would definitely recommend Carolyn as the tour guide.

    The Devour Ultimate Food Tour was a great tour with a smaller group by Oliver. We had done this tour two years earlier but it was definitely worth doing again since they've modified the tour quite a bit. Wonderful tour providing an interesting variety of food including chocolate, ham, cheese, olives, olive oil, wines, deserts. Take it early in your travels to Madrid to get a good overview of where to go as well as personal recommendations from our tour guide, Oliver. We're actually taking two Devour food tours this trip to Madrid.

  • 5/5 Michael G. 2 years ago on Google
    Our guide Yvonne was very knowledgeable and able to answer our questions easily. Our stops always seemed ready for us, so the experiences all went smoothly.

  • 5/5 Andrea B. 2 years ago on Google
    I went on three Devour food tours on my recent trip to Madrid and Sevilla and they were all fantastic. If you have an opportunity to take a Devour tour, do it! I had so much fun on this tapas tour with Jackie in Madrid. She was fantastic. The family run places we visited were great and the food delicious. Thank you Jackie for a memorable night!

  • 5/5 Evelyn T. 2 years ago on Google
    Today I had the chance to experience an amazing food tour in Madrid thanks to Devour and our awesome tour guide Oliver. It was an adventurous, informative, and tasty tour through beautiful Madrid neighborhoods and delicious local restaurants. So grateful for the experience would definitely do it again!!

  • 5/5 Marty G. 2 years ago on Google
    The History and Tapas tour was terrific. Carolyn, our guide was charming, amusing and informative. She engaged the group and we all had a marvelous time. It was definitely a highlight of our trip to Madrid. Her suggestions for food and wine were outstanding. I am a vegetarian and she made sure there was always something delicious for me to enjoy.

  • 5/5 Heather G. 2 years ago on Google
    While we wandered the streets of Madrid earlier in the day and thoroughly enjoyed taking in the city, this tour truly introduced us to Madrid. Arantxa was the perfect guide to share her city, the history, and cuisine with us. We loved learning what the buildings were that we wondered about earlier and learning a taste of the Madrid’s rich history. The best was the incredible tapas and drinks at each stop! It was a gift to have an expert order for us and to experience some of the best. Devour ensured that dietary accommodations were made for us, since we had a non-seafood eater in our group. Devour exceeded our expectations and we are already planning a Barcelona Devour tour in 2023!

  • 5/5 Adam O. 2 years ago on Google
    Cait is a super-knowledgeable guide. She was able to show us interesting, unique ands delicious places, and the tour was over before we knew it. Devour Tours is a great way to see Madrid.

  • 5/5 Magu Q. 2 years ago on Google
    I loved it! My time in Madrid was very short and this was the perfect tour to combine a visit to the city centre, get some history, and enjoy some really good food. David was a great guide and I totally recommend this experience!

  • 5/5 Gabriella A. 2 years ago on Google
    I have used Devour tours in the past while visiting several different cities in Spain. The fact that they focus on supporting small local businesses shows that they truly love the communities they serve. They make an effort to promote responsible tourism and I like that. Plus the tours are wonderful: educational and delicious! I really appreciate that during the pandemic they have created online experiences. They are interactive and fun and are bringing the world to me until I can travel again.

  • 5/5 Crispy B. 2 years ago on Google
    The whole tour was such an amazing experience, if your in Madrid you must do have this experience! Arantxa was an excellent guide, friendly, so enthusiastic, so knowledgeable and just a delight to spend time with. The tour was so much more than just go here, eat this, Arantxa didnt stop telling us so much about Madrid, it's history and the Spanish way of life. The places we went to were so interesting, and authentic as well as away from the typical tourist traps. The food was varied and excellent, accompanied by lovely drinks and all explained with Arantxa's expert knowledge. If we're ever in Madrid, we will be doing another tour, no question. Thank you so much Arantxa, you made our trip so interesting and special.

    This is THE BEST THING TO DO IN MADRID by far. Since 2009, i have made 12 trips to Madrid and have fallen head over heels for the city. We have done all of the tours and attractions more than a few times, but I can promise you that nothing comes close to our Devour tours experiences.The guides are more than kind and really fun to walk around with. Because tour groups are small, we've made friends on every tour and met up with several even after our tour was over. And, we ate such good food! It was unbelievable! Nearly every site from our Tapas tour has become a must-visit for every time we come to the city. I still can't believe how much fun we had and how much we ate for the price. It really is beyond a good value. Also, the team has always been amazing to work with. I have had to change bookings a couple of times or call with questions and they've always been more than accommodating. In fact, the way I saw my tour guides handle food allergies and aversions was really masterful. Overall, I cannot recommend this more and I can't wait to get back to Madrid to try another tour.

  • 5/5 Cody F. 2 years ago on Google
    I did the tapas tour in Madrid with Sean and Barcelona with Dom and both were great experiences. Great way to learn about the history and try some amazing food. This was great for me as a solo traveler as I got to meet other people and try a lot more types of tapas than I would have been able to on my own.

😠 I also saw how they filled a bottle of red wine with the rest of a glass. We had to ask for something to snack on with the beers. We ordered some bravas (€ 5) + 2 bottles and they charged € 12. I almost would have paid more to pay a ticket to Peru. Straight to the blacklist of Chosemiro

👍👍 Went on a walking tour of Madrid this morning with Tatiana. She was enthusiastic, knowledgeable and her love of the city was apparent. Her energy was contagious and I truly enjoyed every minute spent with her. We were a small group, which was great, and she covered a lot of territory. We were lucky...
