We had excellent communication with juan before we met to tour Seville. He recommended a wonderful flamenco evening- very atmospheric and intimate- just what we wanted, also a cute little Tapas restaurant situated just round the corner. Juan was very knowledgeable and gave us a wonderful tour of the old town of Seville , including all the highlights and history. We had time to stop for coffee at a lovely cafe recommended by him. All in all a great time spent with Juan and we left feeling we knew a lot more about Seville. Highly recommend .. A wonderful tour with Juan

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

It was the perfect introduction to the city’s rich history and culture. Juan Fernando was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate, bringing the major landmarks to life with fascinating stories and insights. What made the experience even more special were the hidden courtyards and lesser-known spots he took us to — places we’d never have found on our own. A great balance of highlights and hidden gems. Highly recommended!Great introduction to Seville

If you are interested in history and a local culture do yourself a favor and book a private tour with Samuel. He has a wealth of information you didn’t even know existed. He is very reliable, flexible and just purely a wonderful human being you will want to keep as a friend. He speaks fluent English, knows Sevilla like a back of his hand and he will show and tell you about the places you will remember forever. We had a wonderful time with him and will book him again when we next in Sevilla because there is so much to see. Thank you Samuel!Do yourself a favor

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!

We really enjoyed our time together and recommend him. We also took some group tours and wish we had arranged everything with him as a personal guide. The other tours were large and had audio problems and less skilled guides. Samuel has a winning personality. , Great guide in seville

We had such a happy fun tour with Jose. He was totally brilliant and took us to all the fun bars and restaurants, which weren't the usual tourist traps. He was so enthusiastic and fun and my teenage children really enjoyed his company. We walked over the bridge to Triana and he showed us the colourful buildings and the new and old architecture, the ceramic museum and local restaurants and tapas bars. He was so much fun and I would definitely recommend him to my friends. The tour with him was the highlight of our trip to Andalucia.A really fun tour of Seville.

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 — 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 tour was the perfect start for our short trip to Sevilla! Jose Andres did a wonderful job of showing us around around town and treating us to a huge number of culinary highlights. We started out in Triana and made our way across the bridge for the full Sevilla experience. The mix between learning about the city’s history and at the same time getting to taste the local cuisine was just what we were hoping for. Jose was such an incredible host! He not only introduced us to local dishes and drinks in traditional bars and restaurants, he also gave us plenty of recommendations for the rest of our trip. After walking around town for almost 4 hours, we were a little tipsy and our bellies and hearts were full. Just perfect! That’s what a 10/10 looks like! Muchas gracias, Jose!Sevilla Snack Attack!

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

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

Had such a brilliant time with Jose wandering the streets of Seville eating and drinking delicious things. He picked us up from our accommodation (even though it was off the beaten track) and pointed out places to eat, shop, drink and sightsee in the area, and helped us plan our stay. We had great fun eating and drinking in the old town, trying lots of delicious tapas, beer and wines. He’s hugely passionate about food and drink and really knows some of the best local places to eat as well as everyone in them. Couldn’t recommend him highly enough! Definitely worth doing at the start of your stay so he can give you loads of advice about what to do on your trip. He’s a lovely warm, entertaining host and brilliant company. Thanks again, Jose, had a fabulous time. My parents were right!Fantastic food tour
