Tapas Food Tour In Jerez De La Frontera

This is titled a tapas tour but the food offering was one or two bite size samples in each of the three bars visited. We did get three lovely contrasting glasses of sherry throughout the tour which we enjoyed but if you don’t like sherry you’ll be seriously disappointed. Marta, our guide was wonderful. She shared lots of knowledge about the city and the sherry. Just a shame there wasn’t a little more to eat!

Rose was a wonderful guide, very knowledgeable. We visited three local tabancos and sampled local tapas paired with sherry and ended our night watching a flamenco show. Great way to explore and participate in local culture

We went on this tour with Marta who made us all feel extremely at ease. Her local knowledge was exceptional and her genuine passion for the City and for the food and drink made the tour particularly memorable.

Our guide Rose gave us an overview of why sherry is so important to the region and the types and varieties available. We enjoyed three tasting combinations in three local tabancos, and felt we were much more knowledgeable than we arrived. We also enjoyed a local flamenco show at the end of the tour.

The quide was excellent - very informative and friendly and managed a situation she should not have been placed in very well. Two of the establishments on the programme were closed - very bad planning by management

Good tour with informative guide. Enjoyed the tapas, I'm not much of a drinker but my husband enjoyed the sherry

This was a very informative tour. Rosa was an excellent guide and explained about the history of sherry production in Jerez. We tried three different types of sherry with small tapas to accompany them. The only downside was that Rosa had to repeat everything in both Spanish and English which took away some of the time for questions.

Rose is professional and friendly making our tour both fun and very informative. We learned about the history of Jerez, the district and its influence on the food and culture. The final stop topped off the night with a sherry and tapas in a local flamenco bar. What a night. Thank you Rose

Our tour guide Rose was lovely and my wife and I had a great 2hrs speaking to her about the history of Jerez and sampling some local tapas. She had a lovely energy and we learned about the Jerez sherry wine and local traditions. Highly recommended.

Fabulous tour that shares a wealth of information about the history of Jerez de la Frontera, its people and culture as well as the production of it’s delicious Tapas & beloved Sherry Empire! Our tour guide Rosa was great, sweet and personable with a high quality professionalism in her delivery of so much information. The Flamenco show at the end of the tour was a great surprise and ending to a fabulous day!

Rose was the perfect guide. Very informative and interesting tour that took in three stops for different tapas and sherry in Tabanca we may not have found or tried.

I am a seasoned traveler and have experienced quite a number of food/history tours. I can say without reservation that our tapas/sherry tour in Jerez with Rosalba was one of the best I have experienced! Her enthusiasm for the history of Jerez and the Cádiz region is palpable and she was very engaging and did a great job In giving us historical context. Rose was very knowledgeable about the sherries and how the different types are best paired with different tapas. A fantastic and delicious experience! Highly recommend .

Only two of us (friends ) on the tour and we met our guide who was very welcoming and friendly. She explained a lot of the traditions and history of the region. However we were disappointed with the drinks (3 types of sherry) and tapas (cured tuna, pork and cheese). Very poor value for money and we would have spent about a third of the price of the tour had we just bought them ourselves.

Angel’s passion and knowledge for food, wine and history come to life on this tour. He is entertaining and a top notch guide, taking you to local Tabancos and sharing the rich culture. This tour exceed my expectations. 5 stars

After a slightly delayed meet up with our guide, Yolanda, we had a very informative and enjoyable tour of the tabancos in the historical centre of Jerez. Although we have been to Spain frequently, it was good to learn new facts about the tapas and the production of sherry. Thanks Yolanda!

Our guide was very nice and definitely knowledgeable, but this review is mostly about the tour itself. We only went to three spots all very close to each other which we were pretty sure we would just have encountered ourselves if we’d explored on our own. Additionally, the tapas are cheap (very good thing for those of us on a budget) but the price of the tour was quite high, so it felt like we did not get a fair amount for our money spent. Lastly, the tour was advertised as a food tour but the tapas were the same you’d get anywhere in Andalucía and there was more of an emphasis on alcohol, which was a shame for those in our party who don’t drink. Overall I think we would have preferred just to explore ourselves.

Agatha was a super host, lots of local knowledge. We enjoyed the tapas, the Sherry & finished in a bar with a Flamenco show. It was a great fun night.

Marta was a great guide. Super knowledgable and a lot of fun! We got to try all sorts of sherries and some unique snacks we wouldn’t have thought to order on our own!

Marta is a quite knowledgeable, friendly and very pleasant! We enjoyed learning about the Tabancos and Sherry offerings in the area. Highly recommended this tour!

Great tour today with Almu. Only 2 of us booked in which was probably due to rain..despite this we had a great time.. lovely to see the back streets of Jerez and the bars you wouldn’t think to go in

A very informative tour. Charo was an excellent guide and her selection of venues was first class - even revisited one of the venues a couple of days later to enjoy a flamenco show. Would highly recommend this tour / guide.

It was a very small group tour and we learnt a lot about sherry. The guide was very knowledgeable and friendly and spoke great English. We enjoyed visiting the 3 traditional bars and the samples of tapas and large sherry tasters. Highly recommended.

Guide Marta was focused, explicit, knowledgeable, personable. Proud of her vocation and expertise in sherries and brandies, and the tapas type suitable for each sherry. Enthusiastic, upbeat, organized: was able to adjust quickly to switch tavernas when one was overcrowded. Took us to the Tabanco El Pasaje, which combined all aspects of the sherry-blending she’d been teaching us with superb flamenco in a terrific setting. Caution: Don't drive to this tour. With all the yummy sherry you'll consume, you'll not be able to drive away. We took the train from Cadiz, so no problem.

Delayed without notification! Viator had sent an email after the official/planned start time. Tapas were not like the photos on this promotional example. No walking tour just walked in a very limited location to 3 different bars. No choice given on drinks. No history given by guide! I have written a complaint to Viator and depending on their response, I will decide whether to use this company again for other European trips we have planned over the next few months.

The best tour I had in a while, Marta was very knowledgeable of the Sherries and Tapa and their combinations. We talked about the history of not just the food and wine but also the city too. 5 stars for Marta alone. Best of all it ended with a Flamenco show at our last stop, and I was NOT disappointed. Definitely, read the meeting place is in front the equestrian statue because I went to the address Google Maps gave us and was confused but I got their earlier enough that we figured it out. I had no idea on how complex Sherry's can be and the detailed history on how it came to exist. I would however caution you on the cafe/restaurant staff behind the statue, they try to their fill seats and push expensive items on their customers.

We had an amazing time with Juan, who took us to 3 Tabancos, paired amazing food, and was a fantastic guide! (He actually was a subcontractor with Mi Jerez, but apparently Cadizfornia hired him, but they know the right people!) He ALSO knew the right people to help fix our transportation issues when our shuttle cancelled and just made for a terrific evening. I can't recommend either company highly enough - don't hesitate! Jerez is fantastic, the food was wonderful, and of course, the Sherry will bring us back! Thanks again!

Excellent, fun and engaging tour of Jerez’s Tabancos with Marta. She is a great guide, walks you through the Sherry bars of Jerez teaching you about the history of the city, Sherry and which foods pair best with the different blends. We often strayed off topic, and she was happy to chat about the local area, offering advice and tips on local places to visit. A great few hours spent in great company, with some lovely tasting drinks and food too, thanks Marta !

Our guide was Maria Iniguez and she was wonderful. The tour had a little Sherry with a little tapas. But the guide was the best part. We got lots of information about the history of the area, sherry, and food. And had a lot of laughs. Thoroughly enjoyable 1 1/2 hours

Martha was a great tour guide! She paired the food with drinks very well! Highly recommend this tour, we learned a lot of fun facts about the food and city! What a great guide. :)

Maria was very knowledgeable and an excellent guide. I would love to her her as a guide again. She was very professional and humorous!

A great experience to discover typical bars in Jerez. The tasting was very good and the service was very pleasant. It is a good outing.

I loved this tour, our guide Rosalba is a lovely girl and made our time a very special one. We really liked the wines and tapas in the traditional sherry tabancos.

Very entertaining, especially after 19:00, when the heat decreases in September. Very friendly people, good local dishes, convenient prices. It has some tourist attractions such as the Cathedral, the Church of San Miguel, the Alcázar and the wineries of Vino Fino (sherry wine, Sherry). Highly recommended to spend a few days.
