Two Friends, One Mission: Share the Real Seville

We're not a big tour company. We're two guys who love Seville and believe the best way to experience a city is through its food — in the bars where locals actually eat, with the stories that make every bite more meaningful.

Our Story

It started the way most good things do — over food and a few drinks. Elio had been showing friends and friends-of-friends around Seville's tapas scene for years. Everyone kept saying the same thing: "This was the best night of our trip. You should do this for a living."

So he teamed up with Carlos, and Sevilla Tapas Tour was born. No scripts, no tourist traps, no groups of 30. Just small groups, hidden bars, incredible food, and the kind of evening that makes you fall in love with Seville.

Since then, we've welcomed guests from over 50 countries, earned a perfect 5-star rating with 300+ reviews, and — most importantly — introduced thousands of people to the tapas bars that make this city so special.

"Few years ago, I completely turned my lifestyle around. I still do what I love to: IT systems and food tasting, but I have found in sports a healthy way to also amuse myself."

Book a Sevilla Tapas tour with me, and I will make sure you have an unforgettable experience tasting the original tapas of authentic Seville.

I will also give colour on some peculiarities of all the places that come across the tour.
