I’ve taken multiple tours in other cities and with other organizations. Devour was my favorite. Highly recommend for a combo of history and great food sampling to get a feel for the city!

My two friends and I LOVED this tour. Our guide, David, was the best! He had great knowledge of the city and was very congenial. Total pro! The foods and drinks curated for us did not disappoint and portions were very generous. I will not hesitate to book another Devour tour where available.

This tour is well worth the price, with plenty of food and drink for the tour group. The portions were generous and overall delicious, especially the garlic mushrooms. Our guide Rosalita was knowledgeable, friendly, and was full of energy. The walking history portion was fun, especially with a group unfamiliar with Spanish history. An excellent experience for both solo travelers and large groups!

Liliana was awesome! I wish we had done this trip our first day instead of last. We had a great time and learned so much about tapas in general and the history of Madrid. Food was awesome!

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?
There's some walking between stops, but the distances are short. Most of your evening is spent seated. Comfortable shoes are still a good idea — Barcelona's old town has its share of cobblestones.
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.
