Awesome guide and great tour. - Arantxa was an awesome tour guide. We got to taste the best mushrooms I've ever had. Learning the Flamenco history made it that much better watching the show.

Flamenco performance is the star of this tour! - Eleanor was a great tour guide, very knowledgeable about food, flamenco, and Madrid in general. We absolutely loved visiting Maty’s for all things flamenco. It would have been great to see more of the guitar shop. If it’s too small to allow groups inside, it would be great if they could install a camera with a live feed to see artisan’s in action. The improvised flamenco show was the highlight of the tour. All of the performers (dancers, vocalists, and guitarist) did an absolutely amazing job. We could have stayed there forever!

Book it! - Excellent experience with a great combination of food stops and show. Highly recommend for travelers to Madrid as you get to walk around main areas in the city center and try delicious bites from multiple bars. Isabel our guide was fantastic and very passionate about her Spanish culture and flamenco. She was personable and a joy to be around. The flamenco performance was passionate, raw, intense and memorable. We were speechless. Also well worth the price as you get quite a lot of food and beverages in addition to the performance.

A fun flamenco evening with strangers who became friends - Arantxa brought our group of strangers together for a fun, fact-filled tour! The stops for wine and tapas and the dress shop before the show were interesting (and tasty) and the show was excellent!

Get ready to be moved! - This was a wonderful way to spend an evening in Madrid. Our guide, Arantxa, was so personable and interested in each tour member that we all followed her lead and broke the ice with each other. And that’s what made this so much fun! We really liked the stops we made for vermut, jamón and at a shop that specializes in flamenco apparel. It helped us understand better what we were going to see. A tablao performance is different from a theatre or traveling troop performance in that it is improv. Very spontaneously and emotional as the dancers are trying to impress each other as much as they are trying to impress us. It was quite moving! And then we ended the night with an aperitif and stood in the street and talked. It was a really marvelous experience. Devour Tours and Arantxa scored a hat-trick/grand slam home run with this one!!

Won't do again - A little history knowledge was welcome
But Flure repeatedly said the same thing non stop .
Not impressed with the show.
I was expecting vibrant colours and you ladies.
Not all in black and boring .
