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 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

Loved learning the history! She was sweet with our daughters (ages 6 and 4) and even took great photos of us at the big sites. Her recommendation note for food and activities made the rest of our stay in Seville better than we could have imagined!Wonderful insight and food rec

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
