This is my second time doing this tour and it was brilliant. Great food, history and Mario was very knowledgeable and friendly. Best way to get to know places and food in a new city.

Itinerary
Explore the market and get a glimpse into the daily life in the city. Afterwards, make your way to the best charcuterie stall in the market and watch as impossibly thin slices of Iberian ham are cut and land on the plate in front of you.
Pull up a chair by the bar in the cozy Bar El Comercio and watch as the owner Paco makes a fresh batch of churros with a cup of hot chocolate. Some say they’re the best in all of Spain, but you’ll have to try them yourself. From the black and white tiled floor to the legs of ham hanging from the ceiling and the fact that the owner was born upstairs, this is one of the best places in Seville to experience food and tradition.
Follow your culinary expert to Barrio Santa Cruz, the old Jewish quarter, and step into a historic convent. This is an incredible opportunity to see a part of Seville that many miss and a great chance to try the nuns’ famous homemade cookies.
Walk through the doors of this spectacular venue that’s part bar and part museum. Dedicated to the vibrant Holy Week, the walls are adorned with photos, plaques, and memorabilia all paying homage to the celebration. Sit down with a glass of vermouth and tuck in to enjoy two tapas, including traditional montadito sandwiches filled with shredded pork and flavorful marinated potatoes.
Immerse yourself in the Seville way of life and live like a local at Freiduría La Isla. The father and son team here serve up freshly fried fish in a friendly and energetic restaurant. At its most popular during April Fair, the fried fish here is served in paper cones and often enjoyed with a glass of one of the driest white wines in the world. You'll enjoy it in the form of their famous adobo, a special marinade that’s only found in this part of the world.

We had a great experience with this food tour, our guide Manuel was the best! We were a small group, so we had a nice, relaxed vibe going on but also learned so much about the (food) culture of Sevilla. Food and drinks were diverse and plenty.
Alex was an amazing guide, very informative and a really nice guy. Lots of lovely stories. I would recommend this trip! Please come to Wales.
Alex was an excellent guide and included lots of history about Seville as well as the food
Highly recommend the tour with Manuel M, a Seville native who was very friendly and knowledgeable. He gave great insights into food, drinks and culture of Seville, paired with a lovely walk around the city. The tour caters for all dietary restrictions (pregnant and vegetarian in our case).
I think the tour was okay in price. It was nice that we were able to buy small little things along the way, like cookies from the convent. While not part of the tour, I took advantage of being there. As for the food, I would have preferred small individual plates so we aren’t double dipping with strangers. Not many people or crowds where we went. Manuel was very engaging and accommodating. He answered every question profoundly.
Manuel was excellent, so informative, told us lots about the history of the area and the food. The food was delicious. I was able to pick up some tasty treats to bring home for gifts. Manuel made sure I was looked after, being vegetarian and pregnant - this was no problem. I had a great time! Thank you Manuel!!
Lovely couple of hours, insider knowledge is always good, a great way to start our holiday.
Excellent from start to finish. Mario was incredible! Great food, great explanations, great fun. Cannot recommend this tour enough
Fabulous tour! Delicious food! Maria was a fantastic guide and I enjoyed every stop.
Maria R was a fantastic tour guide and very personable! Would recommend her again and again!
Manuel was a charming and well-informed tour guide. He introduced our group (of 11) to a range of local dishes and drinks and adapted his approach to particular dietary needs. He was happy to answer all our questions. We would highly recommend this tour.
Lovely experience with delicious food...
It was a large group (11 peopel), but the guid, Mario, did a great job keeping everything running smoothly. He was very organized and handled the group effortlessly. I absolutely loved the authentic and delicious food in Seville, and I especially enjoyed learning about the restaurants we visited, the food and wine we tried, and Seville’s culture and history through Mario’s explanations.
I had a lovely time on the tour, it was super interesting, a nice amount of Walking and while the food and Drinks were very good, what was especially great was getting Insights into the History and culture of Sevilla through Sophie P.s Perspective. She was spontaneous as well, telling us about unplanned things (we met a Wedding Party or two) we encountered on the way. A great way to spend a few hours in Sevilla!
Sophie P was amazing! Off the beaten path. Local businesses supported so not a tourist trap. Sophie was full of energy, enthusiasm and so passionate about what information she is giving you.
Sophie P was a fantastic tour guide. I recommend her tour highly.

Anna was a wonderful guide! She shared cultural history as well as culinary history of the dishes we ate. She took us to places that seem to be lo spots, and I’d like to come back to many of them. The group size was perfect. Brava Anna y bravo Walk Devour Tours!
Was a great way to see Seville! Sophie made it a very enjoyable day. Highly recommend!

Catarina was fabulous! A wonderful start to our week in Seville. Catarina was very knowledgeable and friendly. Loved it!!
Excellent tour with Maria R. She was very genuine and kept things fun and interesting over the ~3 hr tour. Highlights included starting the day at the Mercado de la Encarnación under the Setas de Sevilla with some jamón Ibérico. We loved the vermouth & aliñas de zanahoria at Taberna la Candelaria. Nice, easy going way to spend a morning exploring the culture, food and history of Sevilla. Highly recommend!
Mario is a 10 stars out of 5. Why? Because he is: ^ exceptionally smart ^ wonderfully charismatic ^ hugely fun, respectful and kind ^ abundant in knowledge and guidance He is world class.
Mercedes M was a great tour guide and the food we had was absolutely incredible! Mercedes was super knowledgable and the tour felt very unique.
We had a fabulous time on our tour with Mercedes learning about the Spanish and Seville customs history and food and sampling different local dishes
Absolutely incredible experience with Remy P. The food and wine was incredible but Remys stories were even better. I would do this tour 1000 times over! Must do in Sevilla!
Anna was a great tour guide. Entertaining the group the entire time with history and stories of the places we visited. One of the more entertaining tours I have been on. The food and drinks were a great way to get an introduction of tapas on our first time to Spain and Seville.
Anna was excellent! Great mix of history of culture and food and everything was delicious!

Sophie was a fantastic tour guide, showing us the best local food/drink spots in Seville and giving us the history to go along with it. Would highly recommend to travellers in Seville who want an authentic experience!
Manuel took us to neighborhoods and businesses we would not have found by ourselves, gave us the background history of both the foods we were eating and the city, and gave us an excellent foundation for our stay in Sevilla. Highly recommended!
Great mix of Seville cuisine and history- Manuel was an awesome guide!!
A faultless experience. We booked the Seville food tour after a wonderful experience in Madrid two years ago. Our expectations were therefore high and we weren't disappointed. Maria R was a wonderful guide. Her English was excellent as was her knowledge of not only Seville cuisine but also its culture and history. Maria introduced us to authentic food outlets, including a convent and a "brotherhood bar". The jambon and fish restaurants were a particular highlight. I recommend skipping breakfast to make as much room as possible for the food and drink on the tour! To conclude ... a great tour with great food and drink and in Maria R, a great guide Its the right length in time and the number of visits. Its thoroughly recommended.
Sophie was an excellent guide for this tour. We tasted incredible churros with chocolate, Iberico jambon, cookies from a nunnery, fried fish (paired with some kind of sherry, though I don't drink), and more. She's an insider who knows so much about the food scene in Seville. Highly recommended.
Sara was amazing! Super knowledgeable and catered the tour to our specific group. Highly recommend!
