Most of our tours include a full meal which is enough for 99.9% of our guests to feel comfortably full by the end of the tour. Check the “Includes” section on your tour for more details on what you can expect.<\/p>\n
On all our tours we start tasting almost right away. So, if you must eat before a tour, we recommend keeping it to a light snack.<\/p>\n
Firstly, congratulations! Secondly, of course we can! Simply let us know that you\u2019re pregnant in the \u201cNotes\u201d section when you book the tour, and we\u2019ll take care of the rest (i.e. we won\u2019t serve you cured meats, uncooked unpasteurized cheeses or alcoholic drinks).<\/p>\n
All tours in Europe offer beverages include drinks in the ticket price, and water is also provided at points throughout the tours. Tours in the US may have optional beverages available for purchase.<\/p>\n
Of course you will! While we do highlight typical regional alcoholic drinks on our tours, drinking alcohol is not at all necessary to enjoy our tours! Simply note that you prefer not to drink alcohol when you book, and we\u2019ll serve you non-alcoholic drinks instead. Given the curious fact that non-alcoholic drinks are sometimes more expensive than beer and wine, we don’t offer discounts for non-drinkers.<\/p>\n
If you are under the legal drinking age of the country you\u2019re in, we\u2019ll provide you with non-alcoholic drinks. Guides are not able to bend this rule, as it would be against the law and wouldn\u2019t be fair on the law-abiding establishments we visit.<\/p>\n
Definitely! Anytime is a good time to take a Devour Tour. But if it works for your schedule, it\u2019s best to take the tour at the beginning of your trip. Why? As well as feeding our guests delicious food and fun facts during the tour, part of our goal is to give you the tools you need to tackle eating in the city\u00a0all on your own. After our tour you\u2019ll be able to lead your own self-guided tour with the recommendations of your guide. You’ll also receive our Devouring Guide, which is packed with our top recommendations for eating in the city.<\/p>\n
We aim to fill bellies and minds and so our tours are so much more than a just a tasting experience! Your guide will tell you about the city, its history, monuments, and food evolution. During your experience you will learn loads about local culinary history, the current food scene, typical plates, and ingredients.<\/p>\n
All tour tickets must be purchased in advance through this website. We don\u2019t allow walk-ups or cash payments on the day. You can book a tour through this website up until one\u00a0hour before the tour start time. But our tours do often sell out in advance, and we\u2019d hate you to miss out so to ensure you get the time and date you want, please book well in advance.<\/p>\n
If you’d like an invoice, please contact us at [email protected]<\/a> BEFORE<\/b> purchasing and we’d be happy to arrange this for you.<\/p>\n When you book your tour through our secure booking system, you will be able to pay with credit card.<\/p>\n Yes, always. We use a secure connection and your personal data and credit card details are encrypted. Our secure server uses \u2018Secure Socket Layer\u2019 (SSL) technology, the online industry\u2019s standard. Our SSL certificate has been issued by Cloudflare.<\/p>\n Of course you can! One of the great things about our tours is the chance to meet other fellow foodies. Even if you’re the only guest booked on your tour, you’ll still have an incredible experience\u2014think of it like eating your way around a new destination with an in-the-know friend (your guide!).\u00a0<\/p>\n We love having curious kids and their parents on our daytime tours! Keep in mind that there is a fair bit of walking involved and the samples may not always be what children are used to. Any doubts, just get in touch.<\/p>\n Children under 5 who won’t be eating can come along free of charge on our small-group tours! Just make a note when booking so we know they’ll be joining you.\u00a0We remind parents that strollers can be cumbersome on the small streets and there\u2019s often no room for them in the eateries, so please use carriers for babies when possible.<\/p>\n Finally, please note that most of our evening tours are for adults 18 and over.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Given the traditional and often small establishments we visit, we\u2019re unable to exceed the guest limits on a tour. But please get in touch by emailing [email protected]<\/a> and we\u2019ll let you know what your options are.<\/p>\n There\u2019s no official waiting list. If a tour is full, please feel free to email us at [email protected]<\/a> and we\u2019ll see if we can open another tour.<\/p>\n We allow free cancellations and date changes (pending availability) up to 24 hours before your tour date. You can view and manage your booking online by going to Devourtours.com and clicking on My Booking<\/a>. You then enter the confirmation number from your booking (available on your confirmation email) and either the email address or mobile phone number that you provided during the booking process to retrieve your booking. No refunds will be issued for cancellations made within 24 hours of a tour date.<\/p>\n While we currently do not over small private tours, we do offer experiences for larger groups in all of our Spanish cities. You can find more information here:Madrid Group Experience<\/a>Barcelona Group Experience<\/a>Seville Group Experience<\/a>San Sebastian Group Experience<\/a><\/p>\n We know that along with the food, the most important thing on a food tour is the guide. And that\u2019s why we work with the smartest, most passionate, most talented bunch of storytelling gurus around. Our guides not only know and love their countries, they also have a rare knack for making our guests just as excited about their homes as they are.<\/p>\n Not at all! A number of our guests take tours in more than one city. Why? Because in each place we offer tours, we give you a true taste of the local cuisine, insight into the local culture, and tailored tips for tackling the food scene in that city. Every tour is unique and complements the other experiences that we offer. So, if you\u2019re hungry enough, we\u2019d love to welcome you on a tour in more than one Devour city!<\/p>\n Our tours start right on time so that the food doesn\u2019t get cold. When you book a tour you will receive an email confirmation from us with the meeting details for that tour. It is essential to be on time (we recommend arriving 15 minutes early) as we are unable to wait for latecomers, and you will not be able to catch up to the group. Late arrivals and no-shows are nonrefundable. This is applicable to any tour participant that fails to arrive, or arrives after a tour\u2019s departure.<\/p>\n There are bathrooms are stops throughout each tour (though not necessarily at all stops). Please check with your guide.<\/p>\n Not only are they allowed, they\u2019re encouraged! And please share your experience with us by tagging any pictures with our social media accounts!<\/p>\n Our tours do include some time to shop at certain food shops, however unscheduled stops are discouraged for the sake of finishing the tour on time and out of respect to other guests. If you\u2019d like to return to any shops or stops for shopping after the tour, please ask your guide for directions.<\/p>\n Grab an umbrella and get ready for some delicious food! Our tours are held rain or shine. Please check the conditions and dress appropriately.<\/p>\n Unfortunately, due to small alleyways and multilevel restaurants, our tours are not wheelchair or baby stroller accessible.<\/p>\n Gratuities are greatly appreciated, although never expected nor mandatory. The standard gratuity in the tour industry is 10-15%.<\/p>\n Currently our small group tours are offered exclusively in English, but if you would like a private experience in another language, please get in touch and we can see if it is possible to accommodate your group.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Food Will I be full by the end of the tour?
