A fun flamenco evening with strangers who became friends - Arantxa brought our group of strangers together for a fun, fact-filled tour! The stops for wine and tapas and the dress shop before the show were interesting (and tasty) and the show was excellent!

Get ready to be moved! - This was a wonderful way to spend an evening in Madrid. Our guide, Arantxa, was so personable and interested in each tour member that we all followed her lead and broke the ice with each other. And that’s what made this so much fun! We really liked the stops we made for vermut, jamón and at a shop that specializes in flamenco apparel. It helped us understand better what we were going to see. A tablao performance is different from a theatre or traveling troop performance in that it is improv. Very spontaneously and emotional as the dancers are trying to impress each other as much as they are trying to impress us. It was quite moving! And then we ended the night with an aperitif and stood in the street and talked. It was a really marvelous experience. Devour Tours and Arantxa scored a hat-trick/grand slam home run with this one!!

Impressive flamenco experience! - It was THE perfect night. Isabel, our guide, a musician herself, was great. She taught us about flamenco before the show as we had some gastronomical treats, so we understood what was going on on the “tablao”. The food was delicious, specially the iberian ham!

Devour Tapas y Flamenco Madrid Very Worth It - Flo was a truly great tour guide. She gauged the group's interests and included history and culture of flamenco - a Flamenco guitar maker and a shop where dancers buy shoes, dresses and shawls. The food and wine were top notch. The tabao flamenco was intense and engaging, definitely not a showcase of tourist favorites. Highly recommend. Thanks.

Best tour ever - Eleanor was an amazing tour guide. She was so knowledgeable of the Spanish culture. All of her food and drink options were excellent. The flamenco performance was an incredible and unforgettable experience. Eleanor’s suggestion made the rest of our trip to Madrid even more special. I would not hesitate to do this tour again if I was in Madrid.

Won't do again - A little history knowledge was welcome
But Flure repeatedly said the same thing non stop .
Not impressed with the show.
I was expecting vibrant colours and you ladies.
Not all in black and boring .
