Great extensive tour - I got to experience a range of Spanish foods - from churros dipped in hot chocolate, classic Spanish vermouth, olives, anchovies and chips to bocadillo de calamares, jamon, a sourdough bun with chorizo anda cake from the top traditional pastry shop. Aranxta did a great job directing us only to traditional family-owned shops and explained their role in history and Madrid culture. Super tour with lots of top quality food - ended up with plenty to eat and lots learned.!

Arantxa was a wonderful guide! We not only enjoyed EVERYTHING we tasted /ate but learned so much along the way. We learned a little of the history of both Spain and Madrid, some of the holiday traditions ( it was December ) and the culture. It was delicious and fascinating! We have done Devour tours in the past, and although they have always been great, this one, with Arantxa was particularly memorable!

My mom and I did our third Devour Tour in Madrid today with Arantxa and it did not disappoint! Back in 2018 we were in Madrid and did two different tours with Devour Tours and knew we had to book another one this time around. Arantxa was amazing, she is so knowledgeable about food and customs and culture in Madrid and Spain, she took us all round the city center for amazing foods and knew all the vendors and proprietors so well! I can’t recommend this tour enough and ask for Arantxa!

The tour was amazing. Lilliana took us to some wonderful food stops that really showed what Madrid has to offer. She combined the food with some history lessons and lots of visuals to make both the history and food understandable. The food variety was also great, from how to correctly eat churros to how to order coffee. I would highly recommend both her and this tour.

What a lovely morning. Samantha gave us great information and great food and an insight on Spanish culture. She included the wonderful perspective of living and raising a family in Madrid. The restaurants and businesses show the unique role these businesses play in bringing the community together. The tour was a joy.

This was an incredible food tour that combined food and history. We tried a bit of everything (savory and sweet), walked through some great neighborhoods, and learned about the city. Liliana was a knowledgeable and friendly guide who made the experience wonderful. I lived in Madrid many years ago, and this tour brought back many memories. 10/10 would do it again.
