My two friends and I LOVED this tour. Our guide, David, was the best! He had great knowledge of the city and was very congenial. Total pro! The foods and drinks curated for us did not disappoint and portions were very generous. I will not hesitate to book another Devour tour where available.

This tour is well worth the price, with plenty of food and drink for the tour group. The portions were generous and overall delicious, especially the garlic mushrooms. Our guide Rosalita was knowledgeable, friendly, and was full of energy. The walking history portion was fun, especially with a group unfamiliar with Spanish history. An excellent experience for both solo travelers and large groups!

Liliana was awesome! I wish we had done this trip our first day instead of last. We had a great time and learned so much about tapas in general and the history of Madrid. Food was awesome!
