I enjoy food tours. It's a nice way to learn about a new city with a neighborhood walk, a little history and lots of regional tastes. This food tour of Madrid was by far the BEST one I've experienced. Our guide, Flo, was friendly, enthusiastic and knowledgeable. The food stops gave a great representation of all the local delicacies. An absolute feast! Flo provided entertaining facts throughout the walk and even unrelated recommendations. I definitely recommend Devour Tours and especially Flo's tour of Madrid.

Very enjoyable experience. Our guide, Mariano, was very knowledgeable about the city. We had some history mixed in with some delicious bites. Plenty of food along the way. It is a full three hours so wear comfortable shoes.

It was wonderful. Small, intimate group. Asier was very knowledgeable, not just about food. And the food was delicious. I was stuffed after.
Tripadvisor customer · Alaina · Sep 12, 2025 Excellent
This is such a great way to really get a feel of the people, who live in the city you are visiting.... Our brilliant guide, Flo, who was not only hugely entertaining, but so knowledgeable about the food of Madrid, the history of it, with stories along the way. Our group did the morning tour, which starts with breakfast! You eat plenty along the way and see some very old family owned and run bakeries, chocolate shops, markets, cake shops, street food outlets etc. This is the second time we have done a Devour Tour, and a "must do" for every city we visit, Highly recommend.
