I loved our Tapas dining tour. The tour was informative historically, culturally and gastronomically. We dined with locals and got to experience the Madrid eating scene like a local. Our Madrid friends were impressed by the selections and eager to try one they had only heard of. Our guide Taylor was wonderful. One of the best guides I have ever had the pleasure of following. The Devour recommendations at the end of the tour were excellent. I will definitely book another Devour tour in the future.

Our Madrid tour was wonderful! The sites were great, the history was great and the food was delicious. However, our tour guide, Cassie was the best part! Her knowledge, passion and charisma make her perfect for this job. She's smart, funny and an excellent communicator. She took time to get to chat with each of us and make us all feel welcome and included. We will definitely take Devour tours again!
