Frequently Asked Questions

Question 1

What do you eat on a Seville food tour?

Accepted Answer

You'll taste acorn-fed ibérico ham carved to order, freshly fried churros with hot chocolate, convent pastries made from medieval recipes, tapas like montaditos de pringá and zanahorias aliñadas, cazón en adobo (marinated fried fish), and local drinks including vermouth and manzanilla sherry.

Question 2

Is a Seville food tour a good way to start our trip?

Accepted Answer

One of the best. Your guide will walk you through three central neighborhoods, explain the Spanish eating schedule, and point out the bars and markets worth returning to on your own. Many guests tell us they spend the rest of their trip following their guide's recommendations.

Question 3

How many people are on this Seville food tour?

Accepted Answer

A maximum of 12 guests. Groups this size fit comfortably inside the family-run bars and market stalls we visit, and your guide can give everyone individual attention.

Question 4

Can my dietary needs be accommodated on this food tour?

Accepted Answer

We can adapt tastings for vegetarians, pescatarians, dairy-free diets, and guests who prefer non-alcoholic drinks. Please note your requirements when booking so your guide can prepare alternatives. We're unable to accommodate vegans, and due to the risk of gluten cross-contamination, we're unable to accommodate guests with celiac disease.

Question 5

Where does this Seville market tour start and end?

Accepted Answer

The tour meets at Plaza de la Encarnación, in front of the Metropol Parasol building, at the Tabacos stand on the corner of Calle Imagen. It ends near the Cathedral at Plaza Virgen de los Reyes. Your guide will be holding a red Devour bag or sign. Please arrive 15 minutes early.

Question 6

Is this Seville food tour suitable for children?

Accepted Answer

Children aged 2 and over are welcome, and the tastings include plenty of flavors younger guests tend to enjoy: churros, marzipan pastries, and fried fish. Children under 2 join for free.

Question 7

How much walking is involved?

Accepted Answer

The tour covers a comfortable distance through flat, central streets over three hours, with seated breaks at several tasting stops. If you have specific mobility concerns, please contact us before booking and we'll help you find the right tour.

Question 8

Will the tour run in the order described?

Accepted Answer

The order may vary depending on the day, season, or group size. Your guide adjusts the route so every stop is timed well, and you'll always visit all five food stops.

Question 9

What's the difference between this food tour and eating on my own in Seville?

Accepted Answer

Seville's tapas bars can look similar from the outside, and the best ones don't always advertise. Your guide knows which family-run bars have been here for decades, what to order at each one, and the stories behind what you're eating. You'll also visit places most visitors walk past, including a cloistered convent bakery and a tapas bar the owners never bothered to list online.
