Guide Montse is superb. She is so knowledgeable; you could ask her anything and she’d know the answer. Definitely worth the price - food variety was fantastic and the perfect size group. Going to book a devour tour when I’m in Paris next week. Thank you!!

Wonderful experience full of historical information but not too much that it gets overwhelming. The food choices were excellent.

Our guide Arantxa was amazing!! She had so much energy and did a great job shepherding the group! The food and drink selection was great, and it cultivated a social dynamic where I got to intermingle with the other tourees. I would recommend this to anyone who likes an interactive tour with good drink and food!!

Absolutely amazing!! Cassie made the experience a 10 star!! Great food, drinks, history and company. The time flew by. And it was nice walk between taverns. Each stop was unique and special. A ‘must do’ when in Madrid.
