I’m from Chicago and two separate friends recommended Devour tours. The experience absolutely exceeded their high praise. Aafke and Mitzi were the most wonderful guides I could have hoped for. They were deeply informative, fun, funny, and warm. I learned so much, ate so many incredible things, and appreciated it all that much more from the rich context provided by Aafke and Mitzi. I will be recommending this tour to everyone I know planning trips to Madrid. It was a really great start to our vacation that set the tone for the rest of our trip. I’ve already eaten acorn fed jamón ibérica twice more since the tour and am about to go find a soft egg tortilla (with onions, a must per Mitzi!!). Thank you, Devour!
