“This is absolutely the best tour we had during our two weeks in Spain. We credit our level of satisfaction to Andrea, our guide. She was incredibly knowledgeable, she wove elements of Spains food culture into the information about the art in the Prado and then took us to an amazing bar and Restaurante Botin. Above all Andrea was so friendly and kind. She is passionate about her interest in art, food and how the two intersect. I HIGHLY recommend Devour tours and Andrea. Thank you both so much for an unforgettable time in Madrid!”

“"I struggle to rate this tour properly as it wasn't what I expected. If you love drinking (alcohol), this is probably the tour for you. If you're expecting a 'dinner' party, less so. There are a few bites here and there, but you're constantly on the move, and it feels a bit rushed. I would have preferred if we could sit down and have a couple of food items at one place, giving us a chance to settle and enjoy/savour the food."”
The museums, the tablaos, and the walled cities a train ride out.
