We loved Elena! She is so warm, professional and deeply knowledgeable about her home town. We had such an amazing time that we booked her again for the following day! Seamlessly integrating information about history, culture, and food, she deeply enriched our visit to Sevilla. We learned and experienced things that we would never have had access to otherwise — for example, a bar steeped in the history of flamenco as a form of artistic resistance that served an exclusive variety of orange wine and a fantastic dish of pork prepared in an Arabian style. Everywhere we went we were warmly welcomed because we were with her. We did not encounter tourists or other guides at any of our food stops. Elena was also very generous with recommendations and answers to our questions beyond the time that we spent with her. Elena was a total pleasure to spend time with and she has my highest recommendation.Elena is phenomenal

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

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

Jose Andres showed us many different facets of Seville. With stops at the Cathedral of Seville and the church of the Macarena, as well as City Hall, the parliament building, the Esplanada de España. At each stop Jose Andres gave us historical information or interesting facts. We visited the newer part of Seville where some of the popular night spots are. He always pointed out the beautiful architecture along the way like the Alfonso XIII hotel, and the Roman and Arabic walls around the city. All in all it was a great way to learn about Sevilla and which locations at which to spend our time.Getting the lay of the land

A delightful experience. Elena superbly guided us through some wonderful iconic sights, & hidden gems. It was terrific to share stories of our respective countries. Elena showed genuine curiosity & interest in our country, as we did hearing & learning from her. Given the heat in Seville, it was a welcome respite to visit the Convent & have lovely home- baked biscuits by the Nuns & have coffee in the nearby bar. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience, & Elena’s food tops & venues were spot on. Thanks Elena very much!! Ruth & Peter. Australia.Relaxed, infotmstive & totally engaging!

Elena was fantastic! She took us to several different stops with a variety of flavors and explained the historical and cultural context of each dish and paired it well with drinks appropriate for the taste and the locale. Each place was clearly the favorite of locals as opposed to a tourist spot. Elena not only had deep knowledge of the wine and drink selections but also explained the cultural nuances of our surroundings. She also explained a lot about Flamenco and its origins and histories as well as the Andalusian language living right in front of us! Very much worth the value! She was friendly and flexible as we had to work around another sight we were seeing just before. Thank you so much for everything!Deep knowledge, great flavors
