We had an absolutely fantastic experience on the Devour Tapas and Taverns tour, and Liliana truly 'killed it.' She is an exceptional guide who brings a perfect blend of energy, deep local knowledge, and professional poise to the evening. Beyond the great food and drink, what really set the experience apart was Liliana’s personal touch. Though it was an English-speaking tour, she was kind enough to seamlessly switch between English and Spanish to converse with my wife, mother-in-law, and me. It made the night feel incredibly welcoming and inclusive for our family. She is a true asset to the Devour team—if you have the chance to tour with her, take it! Five stars!

Javier was a wonderful guide who provided a lot of historical and cultural information in addition to the food and drink description. The group was small enough to encourage meaningful interaction. Food and wine selection was excellent. We were all happy and satisfied at the end.
