I booked this for a group of 8 friends and was very disappointed, especially when comparing with a similar, but fantastic, tour we did in Madrid.
Why?
- Very Expensive (almost €100 each)
- Went to just 4 touristy bars, all very close together and very much 'on' the beaten track
- Food was poor to average
- Wine was very limited and awful
- Guides English was poor
Once the tour was over, 2 of us went to another 'local' tapas bar where we had much better food and wine for next to nothing in cost.
POOR SHOW VIATOR!!!!!

The tapas tour with our guide Maria was really fun. We learned about the food and wine typical to the region. Maria was full of information and you could tell was well know and liked in our area by the restaurant owners. We had four stops and the last stop was for a fantastic glass of sparkling rose and dessert at a rooftop bar. A fun evening in Seville for sure.

The tour was not bad really. But it was way overpriced. Our guides were very good and nice and the food was good. Although the best place was the first and simplest bar. The fancier ones were not worth it.

A tapas tour is only as good as the host and Raoul was superb. He managed to negotiate his way past/through a number of processions to guide us to fantastic food with charm and patience. Very knowledgeable about Sevilla and a genuine pleasure to enjoy the evening with…

I lucked out as I was supposed to be part of a group tour but amazingly, nobody else had booked! Private tour, wow!
The guide was personable, professional and refresghingly honest. She was knowledgable about the areas and tapas places that we went to together.
My only negative is conparing it to a similar tour that I did in Granada, the quality of the food in the first and second locations was below what I expected for the tour price.
However the 3rd and 4th locations were much much better.
To improve the value for money the 1st and 2nd locations need to be changed for historic locations that also have amazing food.
Overall, I would reccommend the guide, she was great. However take jnto consideration the points that I have made above.

Where to start with this? The Seville food tour however, was a disaster. I have been on at least 20 food tours (it’s one of the first things I do in most countries, and I usually travel overseas 2-3x a year when not in a pandemic) and know what they entail. The guide will give you information about the city/country you’re in, and of course describe and gush of the food. They will tell you where the wine is from, what is in the food, what it’s called, and are engaging and talk to you throughout the evening. Most food tours I have been on were led by people that could talk easily for hours, are entertaining, informative, and engaged with the group. The food has always been outstanding and a great introduction to the country/city. Every one I have been on has contacted the restaurants ahead of time, and they know we are coming. Their English is usually superb, and we are not trying to figure out what names for the food are on the tour.
The Seville food tour, however, did none of those things. The restaurants had no idea we would be there that evening. The guide was often on her phone on WhatsApp or other social media. Normally I would expect a guide to be on a WhatsApp chat with the restaurant. This was obviously not the case, since at the very first stop, we had to wait for them to even find a table for us. We were then uncomfortably crammed into a corner. The guide disappeared twice at the first restaurant. The bar staff beside our table took the orders, so she couldn’t have been talking to them somewhere else. We saw her talk to them about the order. We sat alone at the table at first, and then she came back to get an order. She told us briefly about the food (not in detail, we weren’t sure what was in the sandwich like thing we were eating except that it was probably meat?). After that, she disappeared again and we ate and drank without her until we were almost done. Again, when she was at the table she was on WhatsApp and other social media about half the time.
We then walked to the second place, with little information or engagement from her. At the second stop, we had some food that was awful. We ate most of it to be polite, but we have been joking about how terrible it was ever since. When we received the food, the guide said one item had hm and one had cheese, and we should guess which was which. Neither item tasted of ham or cheese. They didn’t taste like anything except a lump of sawdust. The wine that came with the meal was described only as “white”. Were the grapes for the wine local? Spanish? From Mars? We have no idea, and I am not sure the guide did either. I’ve done many food and wine tours, and not once has the guide not had any idea what we were drinking. It was so odd. During the first two stops we were also realizing that her English was not that great. She could not even talk about something things for the food and what we were doing very well. We paid a lot of money for an English guide, but she herself said her English was not that great and it is unfortunately true. My mother, who speaks some Spanish, was thankfully able to talk some with her or else we would have been even more in the dark. If no one in the group had had that ability, the tour would have been even more of a disaster. During the second stop, she was also on her phone on social media.
During the walk to the third stop, she again was not very engaged and we either talked amongst ourselves or walked in silence. So atypical for a food “tour”. At the third restaurant, when we arrive she said she wanted to order some things she liked. This was another bizarre detail to me. I have only been on food tours where the food and wine were picked out ahead of time with care. From what the guide said, she was just ordering things she liked without having planned anything ahead of time. The wine at the this establishment was described as “red”. No idea where it was from, what the grapes were, or even what the wine was called. The two main dishes were described as one having salmon and avocado, and one having ox tail. The ox tail dish was on some kind of bread, with sauce, but we had no idea what was in the sauce, how the ox tail was cooked, or anything else about it. The salmon dish was on some hard bread, but again we could only guess what that was. For dessert we were told we would be having champagne. What we had was definitely not champagne. It might have been a prosecco with very little fizz, but it was dry and not sweet. There was some type of cake item for dessert that the guide never mentioned. We do not know what it was called or what was in it. Was it a typical Spanish or Seville dessert? Who knows! At this point, we were pretty convinced that she was not sure what the wines or food were, either. As it appeared she made no effort ahead of time to prepare the menu, I guess she felt that it was not important to let us know what exactly we were eating and drinking. There was zero pride in her city or her country.
The guide then left when we were less than halfway through dessert. She had not said anything after mentioning the non-existent champagne, and then abruptly got up and said she was leaving. She took no more questions, had not more insights, and we sat there talking about how awful that had been. During the tour she had mentioned some things about Spanish cities that I knew were not true simply by having read a Wikipedia article about Seville and Andalucía. I could have learned more watching a 5 minute YouTube video for free about food in Seville and its history and not paid so much money.

Maria was an incredible guide. She took us to off the beaten path places, ordered us delicious food and wine and taught us a great deal about the city. She was friendly, fun and accommodating.
ngelo_F, Oct 2021
Maria is such a lovely person, and the tour overall and places we visited were quite interesting, trying the local cuisine. I was the solo traveler of the group, nonetheless, met and shared a great time with the group on it too.
Pascal_W, Oct 2021
The starting time of the tour (19:00) isn’t correct. In fact, we got a call at 1730 that the tour was starting. We skipped the tour part and went for the tapas and wine tour. Our guide brought us to 3 bars. The first we left suddenly after a 2 tapas. At the third our guide left us as soon as we arrived. She didn’t tell us anything about the tapas or wine. In total we got 5 tapas per person and 3 glasses of wine. Not worth the price.

I enjoyed the food, drinks and the neighborhood we were in. I did this tour on my first day, and it definitely set a great tone for the rest of my stay in Seville. Jordan was an enthusiastic and a friendly tour guide!

What a joy to know that they enjoyed their bars, their tapas and the surprise. We are glad that the clients leave the tours satisfied and happy.

Our guide was SO EXCELLENT. We went to multiple tapas bars - out of the way with great tastes and ambiance. We felt like locals in Seville. He was also well versed in history and open to discussion.
I HIGHLY recommend this tour.
Response from Host, Jul 2019
Great, we were very happy that you enjoyed the tapas tour, and you felt like we Sevillians feel when we share with our friends day by day. That is the objective of this tour, that you feel as if you were with your friends at the same time that you learn about the city and its customs.
ALEXANDER_A, Oct 2018
Good initiation in tapas culture with a talented young guide.A pleasant afternoon adventure in busy Seville touristic center .
Catherine G, Jul 2018
Adele is an amazing guide. The tour with Adele was a WOw!!
Amy D, May 2018
Not worth the $$. Our guide didn’t reserve a table for our first restaurant stop so we ended up eating our tapa off of a plate, which he was holding, in the middle of the street outside of the restaurant. He also left us to fend for ourselves at the 3rd stop because he had somewhere else to be.
Gregory_W, May 2018
Was a great tour with wonderful food, but the guide did not originally turn up and we had to phone the supplier to find out what had happened. However once he finally arrived, the tour was good value with different types of tapas bars in the old city, and yummy things to eat plus educational.
Anne G, Apr 2018
We had good company. The tour guide was a college student and not well versed in the wine. But, he was a very nice guy and the couples we were with delightful.
Andrew N, Jan 2018
Sadly this tour was not as good as many of the food tours we have been on elsewhere. We were the only guests and the host took us initially to a bar where we sampled the orange wine with a small piece of cheese and pork skin. We then walked to a restaurant where we had around 5 tapas between 4 of us, washed down with a small glass of sherry. Finally we went to a rooftop bar where we were left by the guide after he ordered us a glass of cava and a slice of cake. We left feeling hungry and underwhelmed for the price we paid.
The1johnjones, Jan 2018
One of best food/wine tours we've done, of dozens in many countries. 1- Spain perfected tapas and has great wine 2- Seville a perfect cities for this type 3- Guide had a GREAT personality, lined up great places and worked hard to explain city, culture and role food. A must do
Mark R, Dec 2017
A well balanced evening that proved to be a great intro to local tapas bars, to some typical and very good local speciailities and to a variety of bars
Scott M, Nov 2017
Great way to check out some local food and restaurants right around the Cathedral and Barrio Santa Cruz area. Wonderful guide Chel with great stories and able to pick out food best for our interests and tastes. Loved the orange wine and finishing with a rooftop champagne toast.
Mary B, Nov 2017
We had a very nice guide who easily led us through a variety of tapas restaurants with a small group of people. The group was very friendly and we enjoyed the conversations as we sampled different tapas and wines. We were slightly disappointed that we weren't given more information about the different styles of tapas, how they're prepared and served, we were looking for a little more insiders information on the uniquely Spanish tapas style of dining. We did get to sample many styles of tapas bars and foods. Overall it was an enjoyable evening.
Linda M, Oct 2017
We stayed in similar area around cathedral the whole tour. At end of night left us at hotel roof top for dessert and said champagne was included in the tour, but restaurant did not offer us any. Felt like the restaurants we did go to was because he had a price break with them more than quality of food was outstanding. Food was good but not outstanding but he was pretty knowledgeable about food for region of Spain that was interesting.
Lawrence L, Oct 2017
Our guide was a fine fellow, energetic and interesting. But this tour was way overpriced and really not worth it. Anyone interested in tapas can simply go out to the legions of bars and restaurants in the heart of town and find what they want. This tour is certainly not worth the cost, we would never do it again, and definitely do not recommend it to anyone.
Eva G, Oct 2017
The wine and tapas tour in Seville was a delightful and informative experience. The locations were carefully selected for their unique offerings and within close walking distance. Our guide, Pancho, was charming, well informed and patient with any and all questions. We highly recommend this tour.
David C, Oct 2017
A good way to get introduced to the regional wines and tapas. Our guide was really fun.
