Took the food & historry tour with David. He took us to places we wouldn’t have discovered on our own or if we would have we wouldn’t have spent a good amount of time queuing for. We kind of got the vip access if you will, skipped the line. Plus he was able to explain to us the history without it being boring or too textbook. We went this Semana Santa and the amount of effort it took to move to places deserves 5 stars. He kept checking if everyone was still okay and comfortable as the tour got into huge crowds and had to reroute a few times.

Our guide Javier was wonderful. He was knowledgeable about the city, history of family owned establishments and Spanish food. Javi made sure we all were comfortable meeting others in the group, dealing with food restrictions, and learning about life in Sevilla.
It was a wonderful tour and Devour tours is awesome.
Thanks Javi,
Lynn

Know Before You Book
Is this the best tapas tour in Madrid?
We think so—and so do the 2,000+ guests who’ve given us five stars. This is the original Madrid tapas tour that launched in 2012, and it’s still the gold standard for travelers who want to explore the city through its best tapas, taverns, and stories.
How much food and drink is included?
Plenty! You’ll enjoy 10+ traditional tapas and 5 drinks (including vermouth, cava, and regional wines) across three family-run stops. It’s a full dinner, Barcelona-style. Come hungry.
What kind of tapas will I try?
The lineup varies with the seasons and availability, but expect a mix of Catalan and Spanish staples—things like *butifarra* sausage, crema catalana, fried fish, croquettes, and more. Every dish is carefully chosen to reflect local traditions and flavors.
What drinks are included?
Each stop includes a traditional drink—like vermouth on tap, crisp ciders, and quality Spanish wines. If you don’t drink alcohol, no worries—there are non-alcoholic options available at every stop.
Is this a walking tour?
Yes, but it’s a gentle stroll with plenty of breaks. Along the way, you’ll explore Madrid’s historic center, including the Royal Palace, Plaza Mayor, and hidden streets in the Habsburg Quarter.
Is this tour good for solo travelers?
Definitely. Our small groups are friendly, social, and perfect for solo travelers looking to connect over great food and conversation.
Are dietary needs accommodated?
We’ll do our best. There are usually vegetarian options, but vegan, gluten-free, or allergy-specific substitutions may be limited due to the traditional nature of the tapas. Let us know in advance and we’ll do what we can.
Do I need to speak Spanish?
Not at all. Your expert local guide is fluent in English and Spanish and will handle all communication, so you can just relax and enjoy the experience.
