We found Jose’s reviews on the website and thought he was a good fit for what we were after - a fun local food tour.
He far exceeded our expectations! He was a great local tour guide, amazing fun to be around, incredibly warm and friendly, and took us to great local food places. We had a an amazing time with him.
We only wish we could have spent more time hanging around with him!
Jose - you’re always welcome at our house in the US.

This isn't our first with locals food tour, but it is the best! Clara was so informative, easy to talk with and she seemed to really enjoy what she was doing. Clara met us as planned, we walked along the cathedral then through the this beautiful old space with the wall and where the offices of the church were located. The food selections were varied and selected with our input. We had Sangria, two amazing tapas at Antonio Ramero's The Piripi is superb! We walked down the street a block or so then headed into a very old establishment that specialized in charcuterie so of course we had pata negra and tuna, then our final stop was Restaurante El Atun delicious tapas of chickpeas and spinach and a pork cheek stew with red wine. We had so much fun with Clara I hated to see our time end. Fabulous Experience

We had a fantastisch evening with our amazing host José. He told us a lot about the food (as we tried some typical Spanish dishes) and the city and its buildings and history. The fact that he also gave us a lot of tips about things to do in the area, was super! Thanks for the great evening and we can recommend the host as well as the food tour to everyone! 😄Fantastic evening with amazing host José!

Elena was so personable, knowledgeable and engaging throughout the tour. She took me to places I would not have found on my own to try incredible tapas and delicacies of Sevilla. She provided so much more than just knowledge about food, but about history, architecture and little pro tips for enjoying my time here. I cannot say enough great things about her, I recommend her to anyone traveling in Sevilla!Incredible start to my Sevilla adventure

We asked Clara to just introduce us to local tapas as we had eaten ham etc on other visits to Spain. She did just that taking us to traditional venues used mainly by locals. We opted for a private tour and this meant we got to experience all of Clara's excellent knowledge both of Seville and also for a trip to Cadiz. We gained valuable insight early in the trip which allowed us to better enjoy Seville.
It was a brilliant and educational welcome to Seville. If you are lucky enough to share time with Clara you will get great insight.Fantastic trip start

We were hoping for a tour a little off the beaten track, visiting places we wouldn’t know were there let alone visit. We wanted to taste some real local tapas and drink. We wanted to learn about the culture and a little history of the city from someone who really knows and loves the place. We wanted all of that from someone who seemed to understand our group of 4 and was totally relaxed and informal.
And that’s what we got from Clara. A really great guide and totally the experience we were looking for. Thank you The real Sevilla

Incredible experience with Jose. You get to experience where locals go, what they order, and how they eat it. and you get recommendations for things to do and where to eat for your entire trip. The path forward is wherever the vibe of the night takes you. Jose is incredibly knowledgeable, personable, and funny. I can’t imagine having come here without this experience. I never would have had the opportunity to experience the Romería de El Rocío without him telling me about it and even offering to go with me (we did the next day and it was beautiful). Can’t recommend enough. ever wanted to travel like Bourdain?

We actually booked the food tour with Clara but when she cancelled Jose stood in at short notice - but this was no second best. Jose is a true character, provided us with a huge amount of information about the city, the surrounding areas, the food and drink, and more besides. We sampled manzanilla sherry, several amazing wines, wild boar, vintage manchego, potato salad with tuna, menudo, scallops and cod nuggets marinated in vinegar and deep fried. This was a brilliant tour and host. I would recommend to anyone with open mind and palette!Food and much more

Five stars for Jose and his amazing Seville food tour and excursion to Ronda! We had a fantastic time exploring the city with him as our guide. Not only did we taste some incredible local food and wine (seriously, my mouth is watering just thinking about it!), but Jose also pointed out all the cool historical streets, shops, buildings, and even told us about the upcoming Holy Week activities. It felt like we were getting the real Seville experience, not just the touristy stuff.
But the fun didn't stop there! The day trip to Ronda with Jose was the highlight of our entire trip to Spain. We ate delicious food again (shocker, right?), explored fascinating historical sites, and just had a genuinely lovely time. Jose is a wealth of knowledge and made everything so interesting.
We can't wait to go back to Seville someday, and now we even have a new friend there in Jose. If you're looking for a fantastic food tour or an excursion guide, look no further! You won't be disappointed.New City. New Friend.

Jose was really great. Even though we had been in Seville for weeks prior, he still showed us new areas, amazing restaurants, and ordered fabulous tapas. His knowledge about everything Seville (especially food) is vast. He’s easy going, he made adjustments to his plans when my mom couldn’t walk too far, and we had a fantastic time seeing Seville through food. Definitely recommend!Tasty and interesting!

He has a wealth of knowledge and took us to a mix of places both in the touristy area and in a local neighborhood. Jose was wonderfully engaging with the kids and truly made the evening a highlight of our time in Seville. I would not hesitate to book another tour with him on our next visit to Seville!!Incredible Experience!

The culinary tasting tour with Elena was great. The experience of a private tour but with someone who is patient, knowledgeable, pleasant and wanting to share more information and tapas and a slight detour to an incredible church made us feel this was the best food tour we've been on. The quality of the food we tasted clearly helps as did the weather and my children of 13 and 10 found the time and food accommodating to their needs too. Thank you Elena, you were great.The Best Tour Experience

We have taken several food tours in our travels but Elana's was by far the best. She took us to two different family-owned restaurants. The way she was greeted was like she was a member of the family. The service the staff provided us was second to none and they treated us like family. To say the food was excellent was an understatement. The variety of tasting, treats and drinks exceeded anything we have ever had in any previous food tours. We wholeheartedly recommend Elan for a food tour in Seville!Exceeded Expectations

My wife and I met Alvaro in a busy and safe location. He took us through the rich history of the city and shared lots of background about the culture of Sevilla. We hung out at all of the coolest spots with the locals in the community of Triana.
He is also very attentive to dietary restrictions when it comes to ordering the food for you. We don’t eat pork, red meat, or dairy (sounds like a lot when you list it out like that) and we are also “texture eaters”.. he took all of that into consideration and was still able to order delicious tapas for us and enjoy with us! We recommend him for your trip! Alvaro is great!
