All the food was excellent and was a slice of Madrid. Would highly recommend as a great way to try food and see city. - Taylor was amazing. All the spots were expertly picked and were set up for ease of use. All the food was delicious. Wear comfortable walking shoes and if you have a food allergy, which I do, state that beforehand and they will kindly accommodate, which they did with mine.

Excellent and Unique Tour in Central Madrid - This was a great introduction to Madrid. Our guide us took us to several places and we tried a big variety of food, all delicious! There was a good deal of walking outdoors on uneven pavement so travellers should be aware. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone who wants to experience Madrid, or even Spain in an authentic way.

Amazing glimpse into the history and food scenes of Madrid - This was an amazing tour led by our wonderful guide, Tayler. She packed so much information and history between our tapas spots, which made the tour so much more interesting and informative than just eating and drinking. All the tapas were delicious, and it was such a unique experience. My husband and I also enjoyed meeting cool people and getting to know them on the tour. Super highly recommend!!

Must do in nighttime food tour in Madrid! - Cassie was PHEMONENAL!!! She went over and above and was enthusiastic, energetic, entertaining, knowledgeable and just all around fun!!! We had a fantastic time walking through the city center of Madrid going to Taberna Real, then to Meson del champiñón, and the best for last Casa del Abuelo. Of course the food was amazing (from the Iberian jam de bellota, to the mushroom tapa, and lastly to the absolutely delicious gambas al ajillo)!!! It was very awesome that she blended the history of the food, the culture, the history of the country together for an amazing three hour journey! Cassie ES LA MEJOR!! Muchas gracias Cassie por un tour espectacular!!!!!

Wonderful tour once again - This was our second time doing a devour tour in Madrid, and Rosita was an amazing tour guide. Of course the taverns and tapas places we went to were fantastic, but the way she brought the history of Madrid to life through her unique perspective of fine arts was especially memorable.
Oh for the food, our favorite was La casa del Abuelo because we are natural predators of shrimp.
