Why we recommend it
Devour Tours runs food tours in several Spanish and European cities, and its Seville programme is one of the most popular ways for visitors to get to grips with the city's eating culture. The guides are food lovers who live in Seville, and the tours are designed to take you to family-run bars, markets and shops that you might otherwise walk past, while explaining the history and customs behind what you are eating.
The Ultimate Seville Food Tour is the flagship. It runs in the morning, lasts about three hours and visits five food stops in the centre, with more than seven tastings and two traditional drinks, including local wine, which adds up to a light meal. A highlight is watching a master carver slice jamón ibérico and tasting it fresh from the leg. Stops vary with the season, the day and the group size, so the exact itinerary is not fixed.
In the evening there are alternatives. The Seville Tapas, Taverns and History Tour lasts about three and a half hours and combines classic bars with stories about the city, while the Seville Tapas and Flamenco Tour adds a flamenco performance to a tapas crawl and often sells out. Devour also offers an early-access tour of the Alcázar before it opens to the general public, in a smaller and quieter setting than a normal visit.
Groups are capped at 12 people, which keeps the experience personal and makes it easier to fit into small bars. The food tours suit vegetarians, pescatarians and dairy-free guests and can accommodate pregnant guests, but they are not recommended for vegans or people with coeliac disease; alcohol-free drinks can be requested. Book online in advance, especially for the evening tours in spring, and note that free cancellation is offered. Prices vary by tour and season.
Meeting points are in central Seville and are sent with your booking. A food tour works well early in a trip, as the guides share tips on what to order and where to go for the rest of your stay. Come hungry, wear comfortable shoes for walking between stops, and allow time afterwards for a siesta or a gentle walk.
