1 / 4
Devour Madrid evening tapas tour - by Management
Description
The Devour Madrid team's objective is to get visitors to experience how the locals "do" tapas, what they drink and introduce them to some classic tapas bars and family recipes. The "Tapas, Taverns & History Tour" reviewed here lasts 4h and takes place in the evening, starting with a 45mis walking history tour of the city center. Customers will be accompanied by an English-speaking guide and stop at 4 family-run tapas bars; the food and 4 glasses of wines are included (non-alcoholic alternatives for children 13-17yrs old). Devour Madrid also offers private family that can accommodate kids aged 4-12.
Access & Transport
The meeting point is at 2 Calle de la Misericordia (by the ornate entryway) and the tour ends at Puerta del Sol. This address is mid-way between the Callao (3, 5) and Sol stations (1, 2, 3, C3, C4)
Instructions & Recommendations
If you have a dietary requirement or food allergy, please note it when booking. As per the operator website, this tour is not recommended for vegans and, due to the risk of gluten cross-contamination, it is not recommended for those with celiac disease either. Please arrive 10mins early and the recommended tipping is 10-15%
Environmental & Social
Environmentally neutral. Socially positive as it helps promote small independent operators with a strong connection to their neighbourhood and city
Conclusion
The evening tapas tour offered by Devour Madrid is a good way to discover the old city around Puerta del Sol and some local food and drink speciality in various tapas bars. If your budget can easily absorb the cost, or if you are not entirely comfortable trying out on your own, this group experience is worth considering. For those on a budget or confirmed independent travellers, value is questionable - which has nothing to do with the quality of the tour but simply the concept.
Key positive
Sufficient quantity of food and wine
An enjoyable way to meet people and discover Madrid city center
Key negative
Quite expensive and debatable value
Experienced travellers may not really see the advantage, especially if they can speak Spanish
Suitability
Best suited for adults. No information around accessibility so best to contact management directly. Not suitable for vegans and customers with celiac disease / gluten allergy
