Five star tour with Isaac! - We had so much fun on this tour! I had previously done it with friends in 2018 and had a great experience, but it seems this is one that only keeps getting better. Our guide Isaac was so knowledgeable, kind, funny, and welcoming. Every stop was better than the last. This is our third tour with Devour and we love their emphasis on local, family owned businesses and sustainable tourism. We will always choose a devour tour where it’s available and recommend this tour in particular to anyone who is interested in getting to know Madrid’s history and amazing food!
