As Spain Revealed fans, we couldn’t wait to get to Madrid to take a Devour Tour. We were not surprised by how wonderful it was. Liliana was the perfect guide. Smart and entertaining, she kept the group engaged and we enjoyed each other’s company. Everywhere we ate was carefully curated and set up to be enjoyable for all. I’m still thinking about the calamar and boquerones and the BREAD!

Ultimate Spanish cuisine tour of Madrid was a fantastic experience, our guide Arantxa made sure that we paced ourselves and were able to sample all the different flavours. This experience is immersive, Arantxa's knowledge and passion for Spanish cuisine was infectious, she shared with us her enthusiasm for Spanish cuisine and embedded this in the history of Spain and Madrid. It was a wonderful opportunity to learn how the locals eat and visit top end local establishments
