Great food tour for pescetarians - This tour was great. Primarily a food/drink experience, but we also got a good chunk of history as well. I enjoyed the food and drink a lot. I am pescetarian and never felt so easily included in a general food tour; only minor modifications were needed. It was all delicious. Our tour guide was Montse, she knew so much and was super friendly.

Had an Amazing Food, Wine and History tour with Devour Tours. - We enjoyed a Food and History tour of Madrid with Devour tours. Flo our guide was wonderful! She shared a deep knowledge of the history of Madrid and how it helped shape the cities wonderful food culture. We visited several neighborhoods and stopped at many family owned tabernas and eateries where the locals frequent. We enjoyed different tapas, pork, seafood dishes accompanied by the perfect wine pairings local to Madrid. The garlic shrimp at La Casa del Abuelo was to die for and the house made Vermouth at Taberna La Conchas was fantastic. It was a great way to get acquainted with the various Madrid neighborhoods and food scene. I would recommend doing the tour near the beginning of your visit as it will give you a better understanding of Madrid’s rich history and help you further explore their incredible food scene.

Hello to Floriana’s Mom! - Floriana’s Mom should be very proud of her effervescent daughter who scintillated my wife and I and all the others in our group during our walking, dining, and drinking evening tapas and tavern tour in Madrid. Floriana exudes personality and passion for how she expresses her love of Madrid food and history. Everyone felt connected by and through her. We were told things that you would not typically find out on your own. If you are considering a tour, try to go with THE FLO!

Vermouth Revelation - This was one of the best food tours I’ve been on. Our tour guide, Flo, gave us a terrific mix of cultural and culinary history, and she obviously loves her work. The taverns and restaurants were all great, and the tour was well-paced. The group was small, with about 11 people, and we spent enough time at each stop to get to know each other. My biggest takeaway was that vermouth can be much more interesting than Martini. This was a great value.

Inaccessible - We had an inconvenience and did not arrive on time at the Meeting Point. I communicated minutes earlier, warning, with the idea of seeing, since it lasts more than 3 hours, if I could reach the group in different tasting stops, without delaying them... and I did not receive any reply, nor did I receive a reply later...
