Our tour of Tapas, Tavernas and history was possibly one of the best food tours we have experienced. Elenor our tour guide was just amazing in accommodating everyone and making sure we all were enjoying ourselves. Her enthusiasm and knowledge of the city was absolutely contagious and we felt like we had a friend in Madrid. She answered our questions and gave us some great recommendations for the rest of our trip. Devour Tours did not disappoint. They are a class above any other tour.

This was a very fun way to deal with jet lag on our first day in Madrid. It was also a good “taste” of Madrid and included interesting historical points. Our guide Sam was wonderful! I would highly recommend this tour.

I highly recommend Devour Tours. We went on one of these tours in Madrid, and had such a great time. Our tour guide Eleanor, was so entertaining and knowledgeable about the taverns we visited, the culture and history of Madrid, and the different foods we sampled, which, by the way, were fantastic. She tried to get to know everyone in our group as she spent the time walking from place to place talking to everyone. That really added a unique and personal feel to our evening. Every tavern we went to was amazing. We really felt like we got so much value for our money. I honestly can’t wait to jump on another Devour tour next time we are traveling.
