Madrid Tapas, Taverns and History Devour Samantha was a very knowledgeable guide for all things Tapas, local drinks and history related with a great sense of humour thrown in. It was a good sized group to walk about. Samantha was not too heavy on the history just giving us a concise, interesting summary. It was a great evening walk to get a feel for the city of Madrid and the food culture. Very much worth it.

The Tapas, Taverns, and history tour was amazing! Cassie was a wonderful tour guide and very personable too! We had different tapas but very local specialties! She encouraged us to try new things! I will definitely book another Devour Tour! Friends had recommended them and they did not disappoint! It was a fun and very engaging experience! We loved it! Cassie was marvelous and our group was so fun! People from Ireland, Los Angeles, Texas, and Illinois! We were new friends by the middle of the tour!
