Our tour guide Sam kept us walking, talking, and eating for three hours around lovely neighborhoods in Madrid, showing us places as well as spots at the local market we'd probably not otherwise ever have discovered. It felt very insider, and she happily answered all of our burning questions while delivering plates (and glasses) of absolutely delicious Madrid specialties. We had a blast!

Sam was a great guide - fantastic food and experience. Got to see a slice of the real Madrid. Didn’t have to queue for anything!

I had a wonderful time on this Devour tour with Samantha as our tour guide. Our tour guide Sam was extremely knowledgable and it felt like having a friend share with us her favorite foods from Madrid. It felt great to eat like a very lucky local instead of a tourist, and getting to skip queues at extremely popular, local best kept secret spots!
