Arantxa was the best guide! We had so much fun trying delicious food and wine. She was so entertaining and knowledgeable about Madrid!

Sam was a wonderful guide. This is a great way to see some sights, learn some history and try authentic Spanish food and drinks in a great tour. Only thing that was a little confusing was finding the meeting point. Devour tours should have a flag or sign the guide could hold up and take a picture of what the meeting point looks like so they could send to people to make it easier. Address pin puts you on a street in front and the meeting place is behind the building. The doors you meet at are very ornate.

Flo was a fantastic guide. The bars and places we covered gave a good overview for a first time visitor like me to Madrid. The Christmas lights and markets made the experience! The tapas were good, but to me, not spectacular.
