Ready to discover Seville’s most authentic side? Join your local host on an unforgettable evening walk through the heart of the city, hopping from one historic tapas bar to another. These places are true gems β€” some over a hundred years old β€” where the walls whisper stories and the bartenders still serve your drink with a wink and a handwritten tab.

You’ll explore charming neighborhoods like Santa Cruz and El Arenal, duck into rustic bodegas filled with locals, and sample traditional tapas that haven’t changed in generations. Think melt-in-your-mouth jamΓ³n, house made croquetas, and the local vermut that’s been poured the same way for decades.

With your host’s insider knowledge, you’ll learn about the history behind each stop and enjoy the special atmosphere only found in these legendary spots. Come hungry β€” this is more than a tasting tour, it’s a journey into Seville’s soul.

The local hosts are natural storytellers, each with a different background ranging from local cuisine to city lifestyle. They can't wait to share some of their unique stories and personal anecdotes with you! Feel like changing the route a bit?

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

We went on a 3-hour city tour of Seville with Izabela at the end of April 2025. We immediately felt very comfortable and in good hands with her. In the 3 hours we were able to see many sights, but at the same time learn a lot about life in Seville. Izabela's open-minded and cordial manner made the city tour a great experience. We can absolutely recommend Izabela as a guide. Great experience

We had a great time with Elena on the Drinks & Bites tour in Seville. Ordering tapas from a non-touristy bar is a huge challenge if you don't know Spanish - or the bartenders. Elena took us to fantastic hidden gems that we would have never found (or navigated) without her. She's extremely passionate about Seville, and loves to show off her city. Tapas and Vermut!

Elena was an excellent guide, with a really deep knowledge of Seville culture, food and traditions. She is also very relaxed and fun which made the day fly by. The food was, of course, excellent and she took us to small family run tapas establishments for some really different dishes. We ate too much, laughed a lot and learned loads. Can't recommend it enough.Relaxed and fun with fantastic food

Elena provided us with a fantastic food tour experience in Triana. We tried lots of different foods and drinks, and were very full by the end of the tour. Elena also gave a lot of great historical background information on the food and neighborhood. Elena has training in gastronomy/wine, in addition to being born and raised in Seville, making her a fantastic tour guide. The one area for improvement would be around organization. Elena reached out to reschedule our tour the day before, which luckily we were able to accommodate. Additionally, we were not able to visit one of the locations due to it being too busy, but we were able to try the food from this place to go. Fantastic Food Tour Experience in Triana

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 β€” 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

I cannot recommend the 10 tastings in Seville highly enough! Izabella took our small group on a fantastic tour of local restaurants to taste delicious tapas and local drinks while learning about beautiful Seville. Skip a boring dinner and take your group on this interactive tour with Izabela - you won't regret it! I will definitely be booking another tour with her when we return for our next conference. Thanks, so much! We thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it.Favorite Tour in Sevilla with Izabela!

Elena was an AMAZING guide for our food tour of Seville. She was very knowledgeable, super friendly, fun and eager to accommodate our specific requests. She also taught us many things about the local culture and the culture of Spain in general. It was my sister’s birthday so Elena surprised her with a special dessert complete with a candle and sang Happy Birthday in Spanish. In addition to her English being is perfect she was the PERFECT GUIDE! I highly recommend Elena!!!Elena the Spanish Foodie Extraordinaire

Our time with Izabela was some of the best time spent in beautiful Seville! If you are looking for a fantastic, authentic tapas experience -- look no further. Book Izabela if she's available, without hesitation. She took us through the streets of Triana and Sevilla to some great local spots we would not have found without her. She seamlessly accommodated our dietary preferences (my husband loves all meats, but the only "meat" I eat is fish) -- and had made advance reservations at our first stop. Besides the tapas being perfect, visiting with Izabella was like making a new friend. She's a beautiful person, funny and smart and lovely to spend an evening with! You will have the best time!Best Sevilla Tapas Tour! Book Izabella!

Responsive to my desire for a lot of walking. Early start (8am) meant that streets were relatively uncrowded, which was nice!Great Walking Tour

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

Izabela was fantastic! She took us to a variety of different places and expertly guided us through lots of different dishes, explaining the background and history of food culture in Seville and Andalucia as we went. She was also incredibly knowledgeable about local history and was excellent at answering any questions we had. She started by asking about our own dietary requirements/preferences and although we didn’t have any, she can craft the evening around whatever tastes you have. She’s such a pleasure to spend a few hours with and we wouldn’t hesitate in recommending her tours to anyone. Looking forward to coming back to Seville already!Brilliant evening of food

Oh my, this was such a wonderful experience. Izabel was incredibly knowledgeable about Seville and took the time to explain things to us from the origin of vino de naranja to the correct pronunciation of Seville by Sevillians. We enjoyed the variety of tapas, and drinks especially the ones known locally like Salmorejo-(a tomato soup.) She is a special person. So welcoming and at ease with others . Highly recommend if you want an authentic experience. Best evening in Seville!
