Aafke was a tremendous tour guide. She had all the inside scoops on every place we visited, and she is incredibly knowledgeable about Madrid and it’s history. I cannot recommend a Devour tour enough, and consider yourself lucky if Aafke ends up being your tour guide!

This food and history tour was wonderful! Sam, our amazing tour guide was excellent! I generally enjoy and prefer food tours that have a good amount of walking in between each stop, and learning the history along the way. Very educational! Everything was delicious and I appreciate Sam for taking us to places that are enjoyed by the locals. I did, however, thought that the majority of the food we ate on the tour was savory. Of course this is just my personal opinion and it doesn’t affect the overall experience.

Arantxa was absolutely lovely! Had the most fantastic tour with her. Super insightful about the local history and the food. Everything I ate was absolutely spectacular and she shared some great recommendations for the rest of the time and recipes to recreate some of the dishes that we tried on the tour! Can’t recommend highly enough!

Danielle was an excellent guide, who was extremely knowledgeable about his home city. He has a dynamic personality and had the group’s attention at all times. The food was delicious and even more exciting because of the history behind each dish! We will definitely recommend the tour and Danielle to our friends. Thank you John and Celeste Perth Australia

Samantha was fun and informative. We visited a variety of establishments and at each stop we had a different type of food and drink. Each of our host had courteous servers that seemed genuinely pleased that we were there.
