Highly recommend to book a tour with Elio! As a local Sevillan, he brought us to enjoy a number of house specialties around the city. Especially enjoyed the chorizo picante con cabrales (came back the next day again) and got very lucky to try the first batch of fresh & warm torrijas (usually cold...came back for torrijas with wine) made on Ash Wednesday! We also got a quick pork meat cuts and Sherry wine masterclass with Elio! You will never see the typical Iberian ham shops and wine shops around Andalusia region the same after this! All the best to Elio for his level 3 wine exam in the coming weeks!

Yesterday my husband and I went on a tapas tour we loved everything! Great organization, atmospheric places, and delicious tapas with very good drinks. The guide was engaging and charismatic, and we learned a lot about Seville’s culture and cuisine. It was my first experience like this in my life, and it turned out to be 100% amazing truly a top experience! Highly recommend!👍👍👍
Rachael Kennedy
so excellent! we had a wonderful time! thank you for your care and insane knowledge of pork and sherry!! good luck with your next wine qualification and sherry workshop!
Tom Hendriks
Had an absolute great time. Was on a tour with just the family. Visited only places one would never find as a tourist and all the food and atmosphere was absolutely fantastic. Lot of info about Sevilla and surrounding. It was not like taking a tour with a guide but getting around with a friend showing his city. The wife of the owner owns a small deli and will for sure be ordering some goodies from there!

Elio is a fantastic guide. Seville Food Tour will be a highlight of your visit. Elio filled us with valuable information about the city of Seville and the greater Andalusia area. He answered all of our questions with patience and enthusiasm. His choices of Tapas Bars gave us a taste of the local culture. Each dish and Tapas bar came with a fascinating story. Most enjoyable and tasty. Highly recommended. Start your visit to Seville with Elio's tour, you'll love it.
Sandeep
Having been on a few food tours in the past across different countries....this was a revelation. Elio is passionate, with stories to match... Food history and variety on offer was amazing. The pork cheeks were to die for and we loved the starting spicy tomato and blue cheese combo :) This is a heavy weight champion in the food world... Pushing boundaries and doing stuff others don't. I won't ruin it for you... As there was one thing he does no one else does...anyway blown away and I will send friends to Elio. Thanks
Tim Hewitt
We had a fantastic tapas tour with Elio, he was so great choosing and telling g us about the wines and food, and took us to places where the locals go which we would never have found. It was like having a great night out with a best friend. Thank you, Tim & Helen
Tom Wohler
Gestern haben wir mit Elio bereits unsere zweite sensationelle Tapas-Tour genossen. Wir waren vor ein paar Jahren schon hier und waren damals schon so begeistert, dass wir dieses Mal ohne zu überlegen nochmals mit ihm gebucht haben. Während dieser Tour waren wir an versteckten kleinen Orten, wo wir überraschende Tapas Leckereien geniessen konnten. Alle Orte wirken extrem authentisch und haben uns extrem gut gefallen. Elio gestaltet die Reise durch die Tapas-Welt mit einem Enthusiasmus und mit Freude, die einen ansteckt und mitreisst. Vielen Dank, lieber Elio!
Zoe Franciscus
I cannot recommend this Seville Tapas Tour with Elio highly enough!! We had an added challenge with our family group of 5 because one of us had mobility challenges. Elio contacted me a week or so before the tour and when I explained the challenge, he made me feel completely at ease by telling me how he was planning the stops to make it all doable for our party! The 5 stops were so thoughtfully selected and as Elio said at the start of the tour "I want you to feel like you are hanging out, eating with a friend, at the places we eat at in Seville". We felt exactly that way. Elio also never rushed the tour, and was so knowledgeable about every restaurant, and all the food we experienced. You can also tell that this is not just any touristy food tour. Elio brought gifts to the establishments that hosted the tastings, and you can tell there's a mutual respect and friendship with each stop we had. Warning - this is LOT of food so go very hungry!!!! We can't wait to come back to Seville and will be recommending this tour to any of our friends that visit.

I went on a tapas food tour in Sevilla, and it was the highlight of my entire trip to Spain. The tour company is run by just two people, and our guide, Elio, was raised in Seville—so he truly knows the city inside and out. He takes you to family-owned businesses that have been around for generations, and his love for both the food and the city is infectious. I actually found his tour through Reddit. He was active in the r/Sevilla subreddit, sharing his favorite places to eat and giving thoughtful recommendations—without ever promoting his business. That alone says so much about who he is. When I clicked on his profile and saw that he offered tours, I knew I had to book with him. The experience was authentic, personal, and unforgettable. I couldn’t recommend it more. 10/10!
Vince Vinnyp
We chose an evening Tapas tour with Elio and we were very pleased. Smaller venues off the beaten track with food & drink chosen to give an insight into Seville tapas. There was plenty of food and it was great quality. A good balance of fun and some useful education into iberico ham, cheeses, wines and sherry. The atmosphere throughout was friendly and inclusive. Genuinely feels like an evening out with friends. Recommended.
Lynn Holland
Elio was a great food guide. We learnt about the grading of Iberian ham and visited tapas bars we would never have found on our own. Not only did he inform us about food, he also talked about Sherry and how important it is to the town of Seville. We finished our tour in a small bakery where everything is home made. Delicious. Thank you for a brilliant time Elio.
Rafael León
Una experiencia genial a las genuinas tapas y bares de Sevilla!
Travis Murphy
Elio is extremely passionate about food, wine and Seville. He will take you to hidden gems in the city. I strongly recommend Sevilla Tapas Tour with Elio.
Lori Weiss
We had a wonderful private food tour with Elio. Communication with Elio and his business partner, Carlos, was easy. The tour included 5 stops - we learned a lot about Iberico ham and sherry, Elio’s specialty interest. Elio adapted the tour to my vegetarian/pescatarian diet. Food choices and locations were great! Elio is engaging and this was a truly enjoyable way to spend an evening in Seville. I would highly recommend this tour.
sridivya patil
Amazing food tour, perfect balance of food, drinks and information. Amazing local knowledge and recommendations were all amazing.. especially for the nice coffee, cocktails and restaurant. We tried quite a bit and would recommend booking him the first evening when you are there
brian culligan
Amazing tour. Great food and knowledge from Elio. Really unique experience and great way to see the city. Would definitely recommend!
Jane King
What an AMAZING personal tapas tour of Seville. Felt so lucky to have Elio share his passion for food and wine, wealth of knowledge being from Seville, and all his qualifications and connections. It is a ‘MUST DO’ as soon as you arrive in Seville. Thank you so much Elio.. you’re the best! A truly magical food and wine feast 🙏😊
Manu Castro
We hebben enorm genoten van de Sevilla Tapas Tour met Elio! Persoonlijk, vol leuke anekdotes en hij brengt je naar de echte lokale plekken. Gewoonweg top! Een echte aanrader. Tot snel Elio! Anna en Manu
Neil Tootill
Elio was a fantastic guide. He took us on an "insider" food tour, going to the places locals go (since he's a local and seems to be know by everybody!). It was a great day - I couldn't recommend his tour more highly!
Al B
A fantastic and very filling tour. We went as a group of 5 and visited places we would not have done without the brilliant Elio. Highly recommended not only for the food but the education. Thank you.
Mark Edmondson
What an amazing tour! Elio is a superb host - not just super knowledgeable about tapa and Spanish food and wine but the insight he gave us into Sevillian life was fascinating! And the places we dropped in to eat and drink were a perfect showcase for both………. It was brilliant fun and we would def recommend his tapas tour if your in the city! And don’t bother with breakfast if you chose the early shift!
Liv Mc
Elio’s tapas tour was a highlight of our trip to Seville. His passion for food and drink is evident and we got to try lots of things we otherwise wouldn’t have ordered! I’d highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the city. Gracias Elio!
Carl Lavis
Elio took my wife and I on a tour around Sevilla on our anniversary and it was a great way to spend it! Elio was a brilliant guide, a proper local and extremely knowledgeable. Everyone around the town as we were walking around greeted him as a friend so we knew we were in good hands! All the food we had was amazing, and it was very interesting to learn about the local produce. The tour was worth every penny several times over.
Layla Armstrong
We enquired for a private work group of 15 people. We had such a wonderful time, the tour was amazing for such a big group there was so much food. Every place we went to was great! We enjoyed the knowledge and service and everything Elio provided. Everyone truly had such a good time and we left with belly’s full! Thank you for such a wonderful experience of Seville. Highly recommend!
Phil Hobson
Elio is amazing. Energy and enthusiasm summarised his approach. His knowledge was amazing and you really feel that he is taking out mates. Thoroughly enjoyed the time with him as it just whizzed past. Easy to recommend as he’s also very likeable and humble.
Alla Milman
highly recommended, you will visit some great places and try domestic tapas and not only Elio is very knowledgeable and passionate guide who knows alot about domestic cousine! we enjoined the tour! thank you!
Alisa Worthey
Absolutely outstanding tour! Anto was beyond incredible—her deep knowledge of Seville, warm personality, and genuine passion for the city made this experience unforgettable. Every food and drink stop was perfectly chosen, and her additional restaurant recommendations became some of our favorite meals for the rest of the trip. The Betis fútbol bar and that amazing truffle dish were absolute highlights, and ending the evening with dinner at the 3rd generation family’s restaurant and home was the perfect finishing touch. I can’t recommend this tour—and Anto—highly enough. You’ll fall in love with Seville through her eyes!
Helen Johnson
What a fabulous experience! Elio knew exactly where to take us so we could experience the real Seville, his knowledge of food and drink bought it alive which added to the authenticity of the tour. He cares for his community, which makes it even more important for him that tourists understand where they can eat produce which is locally sourced and produced. He tailored the tour to accommodate our food preferences and even recommended vegan tours if that’s your thing. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend a tour with Elio again.
Lise Robert
What a wonderful food tour with Elio. The whole experience was amazing and educational. The food was beyond what I expected. This is a must do if you are visiting Seville. Thank you Elio for an extraordinary day.
Patrick Robert
I just went on a walking food tour with Elio with my family and we truly enjoyed it. We ate many delicious foods, saw many sites of Sevilla, and he explained things really well. We learned a lot about local foods and wines. I would definitely recommend Elio for a food tour while visiting the city.
Jackie Petre
We absolutely loved our Seville tapas tour with Elio! We did this tour on our first night in Seville and were so glad we did because Elio gave us a ton of recommendations, taught us about Spanish food, and showed us some unique spots that we probably wouldn’t have found on our own. We ate so much on this tour but each dish was super tasty and unique from the other spots on the tour. I am vegetarian and Elio was so helpful in making sure each location could accommodate with a few items of vegetarian food. Additionally, Elio had great communication before the tour and made himself available afterward to give other recommendations, including for restaurants in other cities we were visiting on our trip. My husband and I have done food tours in a few cities around Europe and this one blew the others out of the water. I highly recommend booking a Seville Tapas Tour with Elio—you won’t be disappointed!
Anne Sansom
STOP! Before you read another “food tour” review for Seville, you need to understand that this one is different! My husband and I have done plenty of tours and without question this was the best! Elio was amazing. His love and passion for his city and its food was so evident. We constantly passed people in the street who he greeted. The food we had was authentic and plentiful. Elio’s knowledge about every aspect of the food and wine was unbelievable. We enjoyed him and the tour so much that we have already eaten at 3 of the stops we made. Book your tour with Elio, you will not be disappointed.
Ally Frankel
Elio was absolutely incredible! The tapas tour was one of the highlights of our trip to Seville. He was knowledgeable, engaging, and made the whole experience so much fun. Every stop was delicious, authentic, and thoughtfully chosen. We not only enjoyed amazing food and wine but also learned so much about the history and culture of the city. Could not recommend this tour with Elio more highly. An unforgettable evening!
Henry P
Elio was fantastic. He provided a great tour and was extremely knowledgable. We had a really fun time and I would not hesitate to recommend. Thank you Elio!
Sophie Cramer
Had such a great experience! We booked this tour on the day we were arriving in Seville, but unfortunately ran into flight delays and ended up being over an hour late. Elio was so understanding - luckily it was just my friend and me on the tour that evening, so he kindly waited nearby with a coffee until we arrived. Since we started late, we had to skip some of the pastry stops toward the end as they would be shut by the time we would get round to it (we booked the 7pm tour), but honestly, we were SO full by then that pastries would’ve been impossible anyway! The whole evening was so much fun. Elio made us feel like old friends, just hanging out and hopping between all these amazing tapas spots where the locals actually go. We tried a huge variety of traditional dishes, and our first stop at his wife’s place - with the wine, meats, and cheeses - was a real highlight. I’d absolutely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Seville. Definitely do it at the start of your trip, because Elio shares tons of recommendations for places to eat and visit - you’ll want time to check them out! 10/10 experience. Would love to do it again in the future.
Agnes Nawalaniec
Elio was a wonderful host in Sevilla! So knowledgeable about the city and always willing to help and offer wonderful recommendations. I was in Sevilla for only one day in May 2025, and it was the highlight of my trip! I loved the small sandwich place at the beginning and every stop offered wonderful bites and drinks. Im so glad I was able to pick up some ibérico ham, cheese and spicy pepper spread, and learn more about how to recognize high quality meat. Elio also provided a wonderful recommendation for a wine shop nearby that was lovely as well! We ended the tour with some sweets to go, which were gone the next day! :) once again muchas gracias Elio, I thoroughly enjoyed my time in Sevilla and cannot recommend Elios tour enough! If you’re looking for an expert guide and a great time in Sevilla, Elio is your guy!
Alyssa Johnson
We had a really good time with Elio. Every place he brought us was somewhere we would have walked right by, but that would have been our loss because everything was delicious. He’s also a great conversationalist and very informative. Would highly recommend!
Simon Wetzler
Fantastic evening. Elio was the best guide. So knowledgeable, nothing too much trouble. Gave us lots of advice for loads more things to see and do in Seville after we finished.A real local with so much passion for his job
Meghan Powers
We had the best time with Elio. He is really knowledgeable about the history of the drinks and tapas. We went to really cool spots that I would not have discovered on my own! The tapas at these places were so amazing and, again, ones I wouldn’t have chosen without help. I recommend doing a tapas tour, especially with Elio, because you learn about the tapas culture and find great, new places. 10/10
Stephen Lyons
We had a great time with Elio on our tapas tour. He really made sure I could get the full experience even with some food allergies. Very knowledgeable local. Even gave us additional recommendations for Seville and some other cities we were planning on visiting. If you thinking about a tapas tour use Elio. If you not sure you want to do a tapas tour I think you should. We tried food we loved that we would not have ordered in our own. We also got to try more local shops that can be hard to navigate if you aren’t from there (no menus). Elio handles all the communication and seems to know all the workers. So you get a warm welcome and get to relax and learn about some local foods and culture.
Katy Hall
Fantastic tapas tour with Elio. Starting with a little presentation in his family shop, we walked the beautiful streets around sunset stopping to have a variety of delicious food and drinks in several restaurants we wouldn’t have found on our own. He really knows food and wine and is excellent company. Don’t hesitate to book 😋
Jerome O'Sullivan
A very enjoyable tour with Elio who is very knowledgeable about food and wine and brought us to authentic local venues serving delicious tapas.
Deanna Faust
Elio’s Tapas and Drink tour was fantastic. He shares his food, drink and regional knowledge in a fun and exciting manner. Elio answered all the questions we had about traditions and culture. The food presented at the different locations was delicious samples of traditional tapas and dishes that we may not have tried on our own. Everything was delicious and the amount was so filling. The restaurants chosen were obviously mainstays of Seville’s old town and run by local families. Elio’s tour was the best food tour we have taken in any city so far. Elio is a local with such enthusiasm about his own community, food and traditions which is rare in the tourist industry of today. Thanks so much Elio. 😘 5 stars for sure!!!!
Rebecca Middleton
My family has been on food tours across the world and this is one of our all-time favorites. Elio is a generous host and an engaging and knowledgeable guide. He loves Sevilla and clearly enjoys sharing his favorite local spots with his guests on this tour. Great value - even our 18-year-old son was full by the end of the tour!
Lori Verdegaal
One of the best tours I have ever been on! We have been to Spain several times and this was not your typical tapas. We tasted and enjoyed several new dishes. Elio made you feel like you were walking with a good friend in his home town and he was proudly showing you his favorite spots with such wonderful descriptions. Highly Recommend!
Anthony Patsalou
A very authentic tour run by Elio.
alan sacks
Elio’s passion for food and wine is very evident as is his support of local products and suppliers. We enjoyed tasting local food and beverages and learning about them. We were lucky enough to have Elio to ourselves and it felt like spending an evening with a good friend. We would have no hesitation in recommending Elio’s tour.
Jane Briers
If you want to experience incredible food and drink, in local, family run places that haven’t changed for decades go on Elio’s wonderful tour. A warm, friendly, affable man, who is passionate and knowledgeable not just about the food and wine of his country but also his city. He really wants to show you the best Seville has to offer and does all he can to make you feel welcome. One of our small party of four was pescatarian, so he tailored choices for her. And another was celebrating a big birthday so a candle was arranged on one of the many cakes in the final spot of our tour. Small touches that made the whole thing even more special. We went on our first night in Seville hoping the tour would help acclimatise us to the city. It did so much more. Elio was kind enough to leave us with a list of recommendations for other places. Brunches, coffees, roof top cocktails and incredible lunches were all from his list and each was as fantastic as the last. In fact, the one place we ate that wasn’t from Elio’s list was an extreme disappointment. We didn’t deviate from his recommends again! Elio basically made our weekend in Seville. We all are already planning to go back with husbands and partners and when we do we will most certainly be seeing Elio again. Highly, highly recommend.
Lorinda Liongson
Great tapas tour with Elio. We wouldn’t have found some of these venues without him. He is a friendly and knowledgeable guide whether you are a serious foodie or not. He gave a great introduction to Spanish wine and jamón iberico classifications. We appreciated the fact that he only supports local businesses. We heartily give Elio and Sevilla Tapas Tour 5 stars.
Gregory
Great tour with a great host!
Deb Carmichael
The Sevilla Tapas Tour was the best night out in Seville. Elio was an excellent host and we ate beautiful food in places we would not have found as tourists. We learned a lot about the culture of the city, made some new friends and are now looking forward to trying more places on Elio's list of recommendations.
Sue Bennett
We always do food tours in each city that we visit. Elio did a great job with educating us on the area , sampling so many different local food and drinks (we were stuffed ) and walking to various parts of the city . He knew everyone as we walked from place to place !! He also was a great resource during our stay, providing us with a lot of additional information and recommendations on restaurants and places to go !! Thank you so much for a beyond five star experience
todd ciampolillo
We had an amazing time with Elio. We visited small family run local non touristy places. His knowledge of Sevilla, the food and wine incredible. It was the best day of our 12 day trip. I would very highly recommend Sevilla Food Tour over any other food tour company. I would not hesitate to book it again. Elio is also a great guy and you will gain a new friend like we did
Jonathan Levy
We had a wonderful food tour with Elio. Great atmosphere, great explanations and great food. Elio took us to authentic, non-touristic local food places. We highly recommend Elio`s tour !
Morgan Forsythe
We had a fantastic tour with Elio and some fellow travelers - very informative with stops at places we would have never found without his local knowledge. Loved learning a bit about the culture from Elio early in our stay as it was very helpful for the rest of our time here. He also gave a lot of recommendations not just for Sevilla, but also surrounding areas like Jerez and Cadiz. Highly recommend taking his tour - great guide and company!
Rob Cook
We were 6 friends visiting Savila celebrating multiple 60th birthdays Elio lead us through the maze of streets with 6 stops where we enjoyed a variety of food - pastries, cured meats and cheeses. Lots of history and solid explanations His passion for humanely raised and locally sourced food is very evident This is must do tour for any foodies visiting this city. Thanks Elio !!
Sean Burke
Highly recommend this tour. Elio was a friendly, engaging and knowledgeable guide. A great variety of food and drink, you will finish this 3 hour adventure with a full belly. Don't miss this tour if you are in Sevilla.
Alethea Tan
We had a tour with Elio on our last night in Seville and the food tour was amazing. Elio is knowledgeable in the history and culture of Seville and shares engaging stories with us while introducing us to local cuisines run by local own businesses. His mission to empower and uplift his community is truly remarkable. Fantastic tour, highly recommend.
Kristina N
We had the perfect day all set up by Elio! We did the morning food tour and tried things we haven’t had before or wouldn’t know about. Elio was a great guide and a true local. He got stopped by a few locals just to say hi, but that didn’t deter our tour. This tour was more than what we expected! First bites were phenomenal, we got a quick lesson on Iberian ham and sherry, headed over to Tirana where we got even more delicious food. By the end we were very satisfied and ready for a siesta. We’ve been to many food tours and this was definitely one of our top. At the end, Elio sent us some recs and list of the places we stopped at. You can tell Elio enjoys his city and supports the local businesses. 10/10 recommend taking one of his tours!
Robert Belk
The Tapas tour with Elio was the highlight of our trip to Spain. He taught us about the ham, and sherry, and took us around to multiple spots to taste some the best food we had in Spain - all small portions - but you will be very full by the end. I highly recommend this tour! He was even able to select offerings for my picky eater - 13 yr old daughter - that she liked. she tried more new things in one night than she has in a year. Elio is a gracious host and I’ll do the tour again if I make it back to Sevilla.
Richard Coleman
This was one of the best food tours we have done. Elio is a proud and knowledgable local, passionate about Seville’s food and drink, who took us to places we would never find on our own. He also gave us a great list of local restaurants and bars to use at our leisure, which we found very helpful. Highly recommended, and worth doing early in your visit. Thank you Elio.
Yvette Roshto
Elio was truly delightful! He brought my family to hidden gems of restaurants all over Sevilla for an authentic tapas experience! He made sure my picky children ate delicious food too! Elio taught us all about Sherry and shared his passion for and knowledge on the subject! His kindness and genuine sincerity shine through and we were so lucky to meet him!
Rob Mayes
What an incredible day with Elio! The tour felt so personal and well thought out, it was like going around Seville with a local friend rather than a tour guide. Each stop felt like a true local experience and we tried things we never would have without him. We have so many great recommendations to base the rest of our trip around from here, so pleased we kicked off the trip with it. Would certainly recommend this to anyone visiting who loves food and wants to get a real sense of Seville by food.
Seth Wallace
Very fun, informative, and most of all delicious tour! Highly recommend to anyone who frequently enjoys going on food tours in new places, one of our favorites.
Paula Knight
A fabulous start to our few days in Sevilla with Elio on his tapas tour. We visited places owned by generations of the same family who are passionate about what they do, and create some incredible food. We learnt so much from Elio who immediately picked up on our love of food and drink. A very relaxed few hours introducing us to the flavours of Sevilla. I can really recommend his tour and feel lucky to have met Elio and his lovely wife. Thank you Elio!
Thomas P
Ich hatte das Vergnügen, an einer wunderbaren Tapas-Food-Tour in Sevilla teilzunehmen, die von einem gebürtigen Sevillaner geleitet wurde. Die Tour war eine perfekte Mischung aus traditioneller Küche und lokaler Kultur und führte uns durch die lebhaften Straßen der Stadt, wobei wir an verschiedenen charmanten Orten Halt machten. Jeder Stopp bot eine einzigartige Atmosphäre und eine köstliche Auswahl an authentischen Tapas, die uns die Vielfalt und den Reichtum der spanischen Küche näherbrachten. Wir genossen eine Vielzahl von regionalen Delikatessen, von herzhaften bis hin zu süßen Optionen, begleitet von passenden Getränken, die das Erlebnis abrundeten. Der Guide war unglaublich kenntnisreich und leidenschaftlich, was die Tour nicht nur informativ, sondern auch äußerst unterhaltsam machte. Er teilte interessante Geschichten und Einblicke in die kulinarischen Traditionen von Sevilla und sorgte dafür, dass jeder Teilnehmer sich willkommen und gut betreut fühlte. Ich kann diese Tour jedem empfehlen, der die Essenz von Sevilla auf eine authentische und schmackhafte Weise erleben möchte. Es war eine unvergessliche Erfahrung, die mir einen tiefen Einblick in die lokale Küche und Kultur verschafft hat. Ein Muss für jeden Feinschmecker und Kulturinteressierten!
Jane Adkins
Fantastic. Definitely recommend this tour. Elio is a great guide and we visited parts of Seville we otherwise wouldn't have done
Shannon Wilkinson
We had an absolutely wonderful evening with Elio! We’ve done numerous “food tours” over the years and this was by far the best. Most of the tours we’ve done felt very packaged - the company assigns a guide, they do their job, you visit well known establishments (even though they may promote otherwise) and you feel like you’re getting a rehearsed script delivered a hundred times before. Elio is none of that. This is his business, he is the guide, he is so passionate about what he does it’s infectious. There’s no script, he treated us like we were his friends and conversation throughout the evening reflected that. By the end of the evening we felt we have a new friend in Seville. The places we experienced were truly off the tourist path - small independent family run eateries that have been operating for generations and who do not market themselves to tourists. We felt we were truly invited into his world. Elio cares deeply about his culture and his community and it was absolute pleasure to be in his company. Don’t do this tour if you’re looking for a well rehearsed, polished, packaged experience. Do this tour if you want the real thing. Elio, while Seville is a beautiful city, one that we have visited multiple times, it was the time spent with you that stands out the most. We look forward to another evening with you the next time we are in Seville! Shannon & Lesa, Vancouver BC Canada
Jacinta Masterson-Power
My daughter and I did the food tour with Elio this past weekend and we could not recommend it enough! It was an absolutely fantastic tour- by far the best thing we did in the beautiful Seville! Elio took us to amazing, family run establishments with delicious food. We loved every single dish. We really got a sense of the real Seville and real Spain. Elio was the loveliest man- friendly, warm and such an informative tour guide. It really felt like you were just hanging out with a friend. If you’re to do one thing in Seville, do Elio’s food tour! You won’t regret it. Thank you Elio for a fantastic tour!
Kimberley Roberts
Elio is fantastic!! A friend and I booked his Tapas Tour for the first day of our visit in Seville, and we had an amazing time. Not only is Elio friendly and welcoming, but he is extremely knowledgeable about food, wine, and everything Seville. He limits his tour groups to no more than 8 people (or perhaps 10) to deliver a more personalized experience. The tour took about 3 hours and we visited 5 different locally owned restaurants. Everything we ate and drank was delicious and made from scratch. Elio takes into account any dietary restrictions or preferences that you may have, and he does an excellent job of making sure that you get what you want from the tour. Highly recommend booking this tour if you’re in Seville!
Matthew Fenigstein
Elio took us on a great, informative tour of local neighborhood spots with amazing food. He was very knowledgeable about his hometown, its history, and gastronomy. Elio was very accommodating to my wife’s vegetarian diet. He also provided us an extensive list of recommendations in and outside of Seville for the remainder of our trip. We had a great afternoon with Elio and would recommend his food tour to anyone!
Niall Byrne
Our tapas tour with Elio was easily the highlight of our trip. From learning about iberico ham and sherry to finding local only food spots and hidden gems we got to experience the real Seville through food. Elio showed us the best of the city and helped us sample some of the best food the city has to offer and typically things we would never order. If you’re visiting Seville be sure to book this tour. We will definitely be back! Thanks Elio
Isab Tru
Thank you Elio for your expertise in the wine industry. Your knowledge of Celiac disease was impressive and allowed me To enjoy a great experience with my friends Pam and Marie France. All the best with your future tours .
Ramones
Elio gave us a wonderful evening and showed us local restaurants in his city that we would never have visited without him. We can only recommend the tapas tour with Elio! He introduced us to the world of tapas with a lot of passion and joy!
Colin Chapman
The tour was great. Everywhere we went, we felt like locals and the good selection was perfect. Elio is from the area so was very knowledgeable on everything. I'd highly recommend him to anyone visiting Seville.
Jenny Bohnhoff
Brilliant tour, very special places - highly recommend. Thank you!
Joe Vitale
This tour was our favorite experience in Sevilla! We were very impressed prior to the tour with Elio finding accommodations for my pregnant wife. The Tour: The tour was everything we wanted. Elio welcomed us like family/long time friends in his home town. All shops that we toured were generation owned that showed the true authenticity and local life. The food was some of the best tapas and baked goods I’ve ever had. Along with the delicious food came educational points of food/lifestyle regarding Sevilla from one who is born and raised there. I left the tour with a full stomach, better understanding of Sevilla, and a new friend! Thanks for everything Elio.
Alexandra Clarkson
So great! Very knowledgable, nothing was too much trouble and all the food was excellent. Would 100% recommend! Lots of recommendations for places to eat afterwards too. Thank you for showing us your city!
Miles Clarkson
We had a great evening with Elio doing a food tour. We learnt a lot and came away feeling full and satisfied! Really straightforward to organise and great fun all round. Recommended!
Rachel Metcalfe
Great tapas tour with Elio! Tried so many delicious tapas at some really lovely family run businesses and lots of information about each dish as well as recommendations for other places to visit. Would definitely recommend!
Becki Clarke
We had a fantastic food tour with Elio on our visit to Seville - it felt like we were exploring the city with a new friend rather than a guide! Before the tour, Elio checked dietary requirements and adapted the tour locations as well as all of the food orders to suit so that everyone had equal enjoyment from the evening. Elio was lovely and chatty throughout the tour, not only telling us about food and drink in Seville but also the lifestyle there which was really interesting. At the end of the tour, he gave us a whole list of recommendations for the rest of our trip. He has also kindly answered any further questions we had since the tour and given further recommendations for cities nearby. I would fully recommend this tour to anyone - as early as possible in your trip! Thank you Elio!

We had a group of 8 of us with a mixture of dietary requirements and mobility issues and Elio catered to everyone wonderfully, not only was he incredibly friendly and approachable but he knew everything we could want to know about food. He curated the tour so that everyone could have something they liked and none of it was too far to walk, the restaurants and dishes were all lovely and he was eager to share the culture and history around them. The tour lasted around 3 hours and was a great way for us to learn during our first few days in the city. Elio is also a fantastic library of recommendations for places to eat not only here but all over, we had a lovely evening and would absolutely recommend it to anyone coming to Seville.
Eleanor Holder
Today we had a truly amazing and memorable time with Elio. Being new to tapas, our aim was to experience this with an authentic guide, and wow, Elio's tour exceeded our expectations. Such a lovely, genuine chap, who clearly loves sharing his knowledge and passion for the food and his home city. We immediately felt comfortable in his presence and completely at ease throughout. We visited places off the beaten track and experienced superb tapas in five authentic settings, completely unpretentious and where we rubbed shoulders with locals and enjoyed the ambience. We would highly recommend Elio for his warmth, enthusiasm, passion and knowledge. Thank you Elio! Robin and Eleanor 😊.
Emily Chaiet
This was, without a doubt, the best food tour I’ve ever experienced. Elio is absolutely incredible—his warmth and enthusiasm make you feel like instant friends. As a true local, he takes you to some of Seville’s best restaurants, where you’ll enjoy authentic Spanish tapas that are both delicious and thoughtfully curated. What makes this tour truly special is how deeply connected Elio is to the city; he is greeted by local vendors and restaurant owners like old friends, adding an extra layer of authenticity to the experience. He also operates independently to ensure the tour remains as genuine and enjoyable as possible, which makes all the difference. This is an absolute must for anyone visiting Seville!
Ken Ackroyd
My partner and I had a thoroughly enjoyable and educational evening with Elio and another lovely UK couple. We highly recommend this tour - don’t eat before you go and expect to return to your accommodation a tad squiffy.
Evan Gold
Elio is the best. We ended up having a private tour of Seville, complete with excellent food in places we would have passed by without even knowing there were gems inside. Elio seemed to know everyone in town and was a wonderful host in this incredible city. Thank you Elio!
Anne
Elio was a wonderful host for our tapas tour of Seville. There was only my son and I and he kept the conversation flowing. We went to both Seville and Triana areas so not only tasted some great food but learned lots about Seville. I would highly recommend this tour as Elio as a tour guide was far more experienced and knowledgeable than many we have encountered.
Juliana Yun
Wow! What a wonderful tapas tour! My husband and I wish we had taken this tour at the start of our trip to Sevilla, so that we could revisit the wonderfully delicious “where the locals go and know” places that Elio took us to. Elio was a great guide. He said his goal for the tour was to make us feel like he was a good friend showing us his favorite places to eat. And boy, did he deliver! We were welcomed into every restaurant he brought us to, and…with no wait for our food! With Elio’s great knowledge of both food AND wine, he knew how to pair all of our dishes beautifully. We tried a variety of sherries and were given a concise and informative lesson on jamon. He also sent us a list of the itinerary of the tour and offered recipes if needed. I highly recommend taking this tour. You won’t regret it. It was definitely the highlight of our trip. Thank you so much Elio. We had a fabulous time with you today!
John Williams
If you are interested in the Sevilla food scene but you are too bashful or your high school Spanish is not cutting it, this is the perfect tour!!! It was a great experience and we would certainly do it again.
Hannah Taylor
Fantastic food tour with Elio! Learnt (and ate) so much. Elio was full of knowledge of the local area and food of Seville. All the food was very tasty and from family run businesses. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting Seville.
Marcus Shapiro
We booked this tour for our first day in Sevilla a little hesitant at the value for money vs cost ratio. Wouldn't there be ample tapas places to find by ourselves? It soon became apparent the tour was worth every penny! Elio took us to 5 different, family owned traditional tapas houses away from touristy Santa Cruz, few of which we'd have found on our own and some of which we'd have been hesitant to enter! During our 3 hours trip we learned about sherry, the history of Seville and the conversation ranged widely (bullfighting, Real Betis vs Sevilla FC, mobile device dangers for young children). Highly recommended!!
Kyla Gailey
The BEST food tour I have ever been on! We had such an incredible time with Elio. The food was delicious and we learned so much. Additionally, he was so helpful and accommodating with our toddler who also joined the tour and had a great time. 10/10.
Donna Drago
Our tapas tour with Elio was both informative and delicious. He has inside knowledge of some tiny places only locals go to and he chose the best dishes at each place for us to try. Elio is expert on jamon iberico and passionate about sherry and happy to share his knowledge with his tour participants. The evening tour was very enjoyable and ended at a bakery so we could finish on a sweet note. More than enough food! Some great sherry, a local beer, and a new to us cocktail added to the fun.
Dan Reitz
Elio was a great tour guide. He was funny, spoke great English, and was happy to answer all of our questions about the foods, and Sevilla. We've done food tours all over the world, and this was one of the best. We would absolutely recommend doing a tour with Elio if you have the option. Oh yeah, the food was delicious as well!
Mattia Tozzoli
Elio Numero Uno, Miglior Food Tour a Sevilla !! Organizzo Food Tour a Bologna e faccio sempre food tour quando viaggio, questo è di gran lunga il miglior tour che abbia mai fatto💯 Ho cercato tanto online e per fortuna ho trovato Elio, piccola agenzia, local host che conosce tutti i posti in cui porta i suoi gruppi. Posti autentici, non turistici, spiegazione di tutto ciò che viene degustato nel tour e qualche aneddoto della città e della cultura sevillana durante l'itinerario!!! Esattamente quello che vorrei trovare in un food tour in un'altra città!!😊 Grande Elio, Quando vieni a Bologna sarai il mio ospite!! Magari costerà qualche euro in più di altri tour ma la qualità si paga un po' di più 💯
Catherine
A really super tour of Seville's tapas scene. Elio was fun, friendly and informative about typical local foods, their history and where to try them. The tour provides a delicious and varied selection of food and drinks. Not only that but he followed up with some great recommendations and updates on la fiesta de los tres reyes magos. Absolutely recommend!!
Molly Gore
Such a generous tour! Elio is a wonderful, knowledgable guide with so much to share. He delightedly showed us the most special places, and we ate very well and very much. Super grateful to Elio for this highlight of our vacation. Thank you!!
Ethan Kross
My family has done food tours in several cities and this tour was by a wide margin the best we've experienced. Elio was warm, knowledgeable and delight to spend time with. The tour felt like an evening spent with an old friend. The food was superb and Elio and his team were able to accomdate a few picky eaters to boot. Thank you so much for a wonderful experience -- we will be back!
Fausta Warren
hi just to give feed back from out tapas tour Elio was very friendly and spoke perfect English and took us to tapas bars that we would have never found however the tapas was ordered for us we wasn't able to chose this was a down fall
Steve Field
Elio was a very friendly guy who took us to places we would never have found or dared to enter. Some great dishes and drinks. Would highly recommend but make sure you don’t eat before you go!!
Brenda L
We really enjoyed our off the beaten path tour with Elio where we are able to dine with the locals. Elio was also quick to respond to further request for recommendations on where to eat post the tour. Highly recommend!
Nelly H
Brilliant tour, Elio is such a lovely guy. Took up to places I really wouldn't have found. WhatsApped lots of recommendations during and after the tour. Very different places and learned loads especially about ham and sherry. Highly recommended
Natalia Ermakova
We had a great tapas tour of Seville with Elio. He took us to the places where only the locals go, and shared truly Spanish way to enjoy food and life with us. Elio is now more than a guide for us but a great friend in Seville!
Oliver H
I honestly can’t recommend this tour highly enough. Elio was a warm, friendly and knowledgeable host who knows Seville like the back of his hand. He truly makes you feel like a friend as he guides you around the best spots for tapas around Seville. Despite just being myself and my partner on the tour that evening, Elio gave us a first-class experience and even went the extra mile to make my partner’s birthday special. If you want an authentic Sevillian food experience that you won’t forget then look no further.
Michael Fisher
Would highly recommend doing a food tour with Elio. We did so last night. Elio is a born and bred Sevillano with a fantastic knowledge of the Seville food scene. He is passionate about this, and cares about his customers. A friendly and welcoming person. We spent the following day visiting some of his recommended eateries. None of which we would have found without his guidance. Mike and Louise Fisher.
Jeff Lynch
What a great way to learn about a new city...our guide, Elio(sp?) was very knowlegable and so enthusiastic Sevilla and its culinary history. Walking down the street with him was like being home because every other person we walked by new his name and said hello.
Laurie Lynch
Awesome food tour with Elio. Prompt responses when communicating via email. Immediately, upon meeting, made us feel very comfortable. He took us to amazing places that we would have never discovered on our own. We learned a lot about The different foods and drinks we were trying. Wish we had been staying in Seville longer, so we could have tried his extensive list of suggested places while visiting. Would highly recommend this tour.
Diane Schramm
Despite the rain, we had a fantastic tour. We experienced small and intimate restaurants. The choices of food was a balance of spices, olive oils and specialty foods, this gave us the chance to sample the Seville tapa food scene. I loved that everything was high quality and local.
Ben Gentile
I've been fortunate to have had dozens of food tours around the world. The tour today with Elio ranks right up there with the best of them! He is an outstanding host; knowledgeable and affable. He took us to five "hidden" places we never would have found. These little shops were family-run and oozing with character. We ate so many different items - I think close to fifteen in all - and sampled some fine beverages. Once in a while during travels, you might run into a true gem. This is one of them!
Callum Critchlow
Elio is a fantastic tour guide who is extremely personable and knowledgable. He took us to outstanding tapas bars, explained the rich history of Seville and provided us with an extensive list of restaurants. I would thoroughly recommend to anyone and suggest you do the tour at the beginning of your stay in Seville.
Daisy Evans
Had such a great time with Elio! He had such a passion and amazing knowledge for Seville and the food/drink. He took us to some great authentic spots and also gave us loads of tips for the rest of our time. Would highly recommend, thanks Elio!
Andrew Evans
Our family absolutely loved this tour of special places in Seville. Elio is warm, knowledgable and a great communicator. The places he chose were all interesting and served wonderful local food. Elio gave us the background, the stories and a little gossip. We felt like we had an invitation to the best of Seville. We would 100% recommend this tour.
Bob G
Elio is a great guide. Passionate about all things Seville, especially its food. An interesting, diverse selection of tapas at true “locals only” places. You will leave very full and amazed by the food.
Naomi Oldenburg
Absolutely amazing tour! Elio is so knowledgeable and passionate about food and wine and it shows! A must for any trip to Seville, we got to go to some phenomenal places only a local would know about. It was great to learn more about the food culture and tradition in Seville and Elio is very easy to chat to and so full of information. A real highlight of our trip!
R D
We really enjoyed the tapas tour and would recommend to anyone visiting Seville. Elio's local knowledge and passion was the highlight along with the fantastic tapas we sampled. Plus his recommendations for other food and drink to try while in Seville were great.
Aaron Riley
Delicious, informative, and fun! Left with a full belly! Was very mindful of dietary restrictions and made it a great experience for pescatarian
Kelli Larson
Wonderful food tour. Great variety of food with lots of interesting information and recommendations. Elio was super and gave us lots of tips for rest of our trip. He was even able to accommodate one of us who has celiac disease! Enthusiastically recommend!!!
Sylvain G
This tour is amazing!! Definitely one of the highlights of our time in Spain. We arrived early afternoon in Sevilla and decided to take a food tour that night. After reading the positive comments about the Sevilla Tapas Tour, we decided to book with them. Because we were booking last minute, we couldn’t reserve via the website – the site suggested we call to check availability. So, we called, and we are so glad that we did. The person on the other end of the line was Elio, the tour guide. He explained that no one had booked for that night; and that if we were willing, he would meet with us and run a tour just for the two of us. We accepted and met with him in the early evening. What followed was an unforgettable cultural and culinary experience. Elio was such a great host. Born and raised in Sevilla, he exuded a genuine passion for his city and its rich food culture. We loved that he shared fascinating insights into the traditions behind each dish and drink we sampled that night, hopping from place to place to sample different delicacies from local restaurants. Not only was he knowledgeable about food, but he also provided a wealth of information about Sevilla itself as we strolled from one place to the next. It was a great way to spend our first night in this beautiful city that was totally new to us. We spent so much time talking that we completely lost track of time! The last spot we were going to had closed, but the owner kindly agreed to stay open later for Elio so that we could come by and sample his sweet desserts. Just goes to show how much Elio is a respected individual, who is very close with shop and restaurant owners, and that he truly believes in showcasing some of the fine local food treasures that his city has to offer. After the tour, we continued chatting with Elio on WhatsApp. He sent us a bunch of recommendations for other places to eat while in Sevilla and tips for our travels to Madrid, Porto and Lisbon. If you’re going to Sevilla, please do yourself a favour, and book a tour with Elio. Don’t even think twice about it. You will be so thankful you did.
Alice Vermeulen
Ongelofelijk genoten van de heerlijke tapas , de bijzondere locaties en de verhalen van Elio. Ik raad iedereen aan met Elio op stap te gaan!
Diane Wright
Elio was the perfect guide. There was just myself and my daughter so private tour of some very local places, with amazing food and drinks along the way. Elio has lived in Sevilla all of his life so knows the best places and also gave us loads of recommendations for the rest of our trip. Highly recommend this tour - even the torrential rain didn't stop us having a great time!
Deb Hilton-Wright
What an incredible tour - exceptional value for money with a first rate, enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide. We arrived hungry, and were grateful for it - you definitely don't need dinner after this experience. Thank you Elio for your passion, culinary knowledge, humour and all-round goodness...and for sharing all the tips on where to eat during the rest of our stay. To anyone reading this - book it, you won't regret it, and do it at the beginning of your visit to Seville as the "insider" info gained is invaluable. Top night with a top guide and a number 1 highlight for Seville definitely!
Ana C Rodriguez
I need 10 Stars!!! We have had Tapas yours in various parts of Spain and this has been the absolute best. Elio is second to none! He contacted us as soon as we booked and a few minutes before the tour, ensuring we knew where to meet him. His passion and FIRST had knowledge for the ham, wines and food recipes is evident, he allows space to chat and tailors the experience to the group (within reason). I’m allergic to mango and apples and he described the ingredients on each tapa making sure none would harm me. Outstanding work!
Sally Lu
We had the most fantastic time on our tapas tour with Elio. Super personable guide and he wanted to make sure everyone had a great time. Good variety in locations, including some we would have never found ourselves or know what to order. Highly recommend if you’re in Sevilla!!!
Janine Fletcher
Fantastic 3 hours finding hidden gems for food and drink off the beaten track while learning about Iberica ham and history of Sevilla with our great host Elio.
nigel gould
A excellent tapas tour , Elio was born and grew up in the city and was extremely knowledgeable about the city and the typical tapas dishes the locals eat. We are very familiar with the city having spent a lot of time here over the years , we wanted to go to the places that locals frequent rather than the more touristy spots and that is exactly what he delivered. After the tour Elio sent us the details of the bars we went to so we could revisit and also gave recommendations for other bars and restaurants he loves to go to. We highly recommend his tour
Avril Russell
This walking,foodie tour was just what we wanted! Our guide Elios shared his thorough knowledge and experiences of Spanish foods from farm to table. We visited interesting bars, restaurants and patisseries and got a taste of some of Seville's finest cuisines. Highly recommended doing this tour as an introduction to your Spanish experience!
Manuel MS
Incluso siendo de Sevilla es una magnífica opción para conocer los sitios con más encanto de nuestra tierra. Elio es un magnífico guía que hace que la experiencia fuese igual que pasear con un amigo. 100% recomendable.
Mark Kelly
Such a good tour! Elio is great, takes you to local places with great food and drinks. Would definitely recommend!
Solomon Song
Elio was amazing! Was me and my friend’s first time visiting Sevilla and Elio made the experience so enjoyable. An authentic experience that I thought we could never have experienced as tourist! Thank for the amazing night Elio!
Pauline Geerts
I am so glad I toured with Sevilla tapas tour - Elia is a super enthusiastic guide, took us to the most authentic places and had so many great stories to tell about food but also Sevilla history and sites. I did a 3-hour walking tour with cheese, jamon iberico, beer, wine, treats and so much more. A plus was the small group size so i could ask questions and also get to know the fellow group members. I would absolutely recommend.
Robyn Tschurtschenthaler
Our guide, Elio, was born and raised in Seville and it shows in his tours. He shares the food the locals eats and teaches you how to order it so you can enjoy for the rest of your time in Spain. He is a foodie and has a ton of knowledge about Spain and its culture and is happy to answer all of your questions. He provides a list of all his favorite places for you to visit while you’re in Seville. Would recommend booking on your first day or two so you can try all his wonderful local recommendations.
Susanna S
Absolute must if you come to Seville . Our guide Elio was excellent, having been born and grew up a few steps from where we met he was both knowledgeable and passionate about the food, history of Seville and culture. We stopped at 5 very different places from a little hidden bar at the back of an delicatessen shop, his wife’s Ibericon ham shop where we learnt about the different grades of ham, one of the oldest bars in Seville, a beautiful tapas bar across the river ( in the heart of the flamenco and ceramic area) and finished with delicious pastry. We left full, knowledgeable and full of loads of excellent recommendations
Aileen and Julian L
Elio was absolutely amazing! By the end of the night, he’ll feel like a personal friend who wants to ensure that you eat well in his city. He’ll end the tour with all the stops/what was ordered along with a robust list of recommendations of where else to eat during your time in Seville. Take the tour early so you can eat “like a local” the entire time! We ran into Elio on our way to revisit one of the spots and he took the time/care to personally text me additional dishes he’d recommend ordering beyond what we tried the previous night. He even reached out to his family for recommendations in Italy. Thank you Elio for making sure we eat well throughout our honeymoon 😋
Michael Andrews
We had an excellent food tour with Elio, went to some amazing places and learned a lot about food in Sevilla. He’s a great guide and is clearly very passionate about finding the best eating spots in Sevilla. We’d thoroughly recommend this tour!
Julie Ward
We had fabulous time with Elio on his tour of Sevilla. We ate wonderful tapas with great accompanying drinks in some wonderful bars. Elio was a super guide and so informative. We would fully recommend his tours. Thank you Elio for a wonderful evening!
Steve
Had the best time on this tapas tour with Elio. Every single place he took us was amazing, very local and gave us a very detailed list of recommendations for everything. Would recommend to everyone.
Victoria Taylor
Fantastic tour of Seville’s best food spots. Elio is a local who knows everyone in the area. You are taken around some unassuming spots which you wouldn’t even know are food places! Elio is so knowledgeable about Seville and you learn a lot about the local area and history. It’s great to be able to support a local businessman, taking you to other local businesses. If you’re thinking of doing a tour, make it this one!
Julie Olney
Get off the touristy area and really taste Seville the way the locals do. Elio is a fantastic guide & the places we stopped at were great - plus you get a lesson about pork and the different classifications.
Richard Berkley
I have done a number of food tours and some really stand out. This is one of them. Elio is an amazing host, really passionate about food and has so much to offer. The amazing places he took us to were places that he goes to with his friends...full of locals. Great food and company in a small group and worth every penny. Elio has definitely restored my faith in this kind of tour and if you are in Seville make sure you look him up
Matthew Leff
Elio was an awesome tour guide and took us to authentic and delicious spots for different types of tapas! Even though there were only two of us that booked the group tour, Elio still met us and gave us a private tour. His care for the food and culture of Seville was apparent throughout the day, and he even sent us a list of recommendations after the tour for the rest of our trip. We definitely felt like Seville locals for a day touring with Elio. Would recommend this tour to everyone! Thanks for a great day Elio!
Tony O'Neill
I would highly recommend this tour with local food enthusiast Elio. Elio is personable and friendly and has a fantastic passion and knowledge of his city and its food. Come hungry as there’s plenty of food and accompanying drinks in this authentic taste of Sevilla! We also thoroughly appreciated his recommendations for the rest of our trip. We will definitely be eating well!
Catherine Winters
What an amazing food tour!! This is the best food tour I have experienced in Europe! Elio is born and bred in Seville and took us to all his favourite spots around the city sharing knowledge, history and amazing cuisine. It's safe to say we were full of tapas and drinks at the end of the tour. It was a true experience of Seville and we really enjoyed it! 5 star experience. Thanks so much Elio! It was so much fun! 💃🏻
Mayte
Elio and our Seville food tour was certainly a highlight of our almost three week multi-city visit to Spain. He was enthusiastic and really enjoyed teaching us. I highly recommend taking a food tour at the beginning of any trip to a foreign country. And if your trip is to Seville, Spain - Elio is your man!
Mark Reeve
My wife and I had a FATASTIC tour with Elio! He genuinely cares about the places he takes you. This isn’t one of those tours that’s set up due to some sort of financial arrangement. He takes you to places that he truely feels gives the best impression of the amazing food in Seville! Every dish was completely different so we got to sample a wide range of flavours. He’ll happily adjust the plan should there be any preferences or dietary requirements too. If you’re going to Seville and want to sample the best the city has. Book this tour. You won’t be disappointed!! 😎
Chantal Heylen
De start van de tour is reeds geweldig. Elio laat perfect weten waar de plaats van afspraak is, wat heel handig is. Hij geeft een stukje geschiedenis mee van hoe hij zelf is begonnen. Een geweldig goede uitleg gekregen over de kwaliteitslabels die bestaan. De plaatsen waar Elio ons naartoe heeft genomen zijn stuk voor stuk pareltjes. De tapas die we hebben gegeten, hoorden van de beste die we de hele reis aten. De info en de geschiedenis kregen we er gratis bovenop. Deze toer is een absolute aanrader voor iedereen die Sevilla bezoekt. Voor ons een hoogtepunt van ons bezoek aan Sevilla.
Margaret
Great tour with Elio he was very informative and great fun....Highly recommend...he gave us great tips for the rest of our stay...
Jonathon Leib
Out tour with Elio was amazing. Very authentic. He knew all the secret local spots and shared the foods Sevilla is best known for. We did this tour with our kids but would be great for families or adults. Highly recommend!!!
Daniel Wilder
Highly recommend this tour! Elio is super knowledgeable and he didn’t cancel our tour even though we were the only 2. The food and places he took us too were amazing. Everything was great. We already sent others we met traveling to take this tour. Elio gave us recommendations of places in other cities and we did go to a few and they were spot on. Do yourself a favor and have Elio introduce you to Sevilla and it’s amazing tapas!
Amy Dodson
You knew this review was coming! We just had to get home first lol! Elio, we had the most amazing time with you doing the food tour. We all agreed that it was our favorite moments in Spain. I can't think you enough for showing us so many yummy and sometimes hidden places. We would never have known about how to eat some of the foods and drinks and even how to order. Outside of the food, I also wanted to compliment you and how friendly you are and how comfortable we felt with you. It was easy to talk to you and we just so appreciate everything including the lists you provided after. We wish you all the best and thank you so much!!! Much love from the States.
Stephanie Courtois
Elio provided an incredible tapas walking tour in Sevilla! I felt like I was on an episode of Parts Unknown with Anthony Bourdain at times. We had such a local and authentic experience from the jamon tasting and processing explanation to all the Andalusian delicacies we tried. All of the tapas were delicious and we learned a lot. We were stuffed by the end so arrive hungry! He gave us recommendations for other bars and restaurants to try in Sevilla on during our stay as well which was helpful.
Nadine Smith
This tour was amazing!! Elio was simply the BEST guide! He knew all the hidden gems and everyone along the way- clearly loved by all! The food was amazing and we tried things we never would have! We were stuffed! Elio was so thoughtful about the selections he made for our group and the other 3 guests… and it didn’t stop when the tour was complete… he sent us a list of recommendations for every meal:-). We would do this again and again and highly recommend!! Thanks, Elio for making our time in Seville special:-)
Jay Patolia
Elio is a hidden gem. He goes above and beyond to accommodate everyone's needs. Experience Sevilla like a local, go with Elio
Stuart Pilkington
We recently experienced a Seville tapas tour with Elio. I can thoroughly recommend this tour, amazing tapas in places which aren't the usual tourist haunts. Plenty of tapas and drinks, and background information. It was the best tapas from our journey around Southern Spain.
Gwen Bruce
What a great experience! We absolutely loved our personal tour with Elio. He took us to places in Seville we know we wouldn’t have found ourselves. We sampled tapas locals would eat and Elio explained in detail what everything was. If you’re looking for a tapas tour when you visit Seville this is definitely the tour to do. Elio is a great host and you will learn so much.
Michelle De La Vega
One of our favorite things we did in Sevilla, Spain! Elio is so knowledgeable and his passion for food really comes through. He takes you to authentic local spots we would have never found on our own, and it was all absolutely delicious. I would easily recommend his tour to all my friends and family. Blown away.
Kevin Nash
We booked the tapas tour with Elio in Seville, what a fantastic tour, the highlight of our time in Seville. Elio is a fantastic guide, he is not only knowledgeable of the food in the area but was also able to recommend restaurants in other cities in Spain for our onward travel.We visited 5 tapas restaurants all different but equally good, with some amazing dishes. Elio is the perfect guide and I would highly recommend this tour, 5 stars🌟
S
Elio’s tapas tour was the best part of our trip. He is personable, knowledgeable, and passionate about food. We had a vegetarian and a teetotaller in our group and Elio made sure to offer them interesting alternatives. We visited a variety of places - shop/cafe, tavern, tapas bar, and a bakery in Triana. Elio’s local knowledge of history, places and people really add our tour special. I will definitely recommend Elio as a food guide to my friends visiting Sevilla.
Lockton Communications
This tour was a highlight of our trip to Seville. We had an incredible experience immersed in Spanish culture and getting to try amazing food at unique restaurants we would have never known to go to. Elio was an amazing guide, and we had a great time getting to know him along the way! I highly recommend it.
Parker
Elio is the perfect food & tour guide! His passion for the city and food made it such an enjoyable day, and the range of food/drinks really leave you with a well-rounded taste of the city. This experience was hands-down one of the best ways to spend an afternoon in Seville and I would highly recommend the tour with Elio to anyone visiting!
Rik Sommerdijk
We had a great day with Elio. Elio has a lot to tell about Seville and knows a lot about food. The tastings were delicious and in places we probably wouldn't have visited otherwise. It was nice to taste some traditional food. You get a relatively large amount of food, so come with an empty stomach.
Shawna Goss
We had a great tour with Elio. The food choices were authentic, the stops were nicely spaced apart and showed us the non touristy spots. Plus Elio gave us history and supplied us with a list of recommendations for drinks, coffees, brunches and other choices for our trip. Elio was easy to communicate with and find prior to our trip. We highly recommend him and this tapas tour of Seville.
Amanda Karney
We loved our tour with Elio! He’s so personable and friendly. He also is incredibly knowledgeable about Seville, among other things! I highly recommend Elio’s tour if you’re visiting Seville. Truly a fun experience filled with lots of drinks and food. :)
Philip Voegeli
Wir hatten das große Vergnügen, mit Elio eine sensationelle Tapas-Tour durch Sevilla zu erleben, und es war absolut unvergesslich! Elio ist unglaublich authentisch und kennt die Stadt in- und auswendig. Seine Begeisterung und sein tiefes Wissen über Sevilla und seine kulinarischen Schätze sind einfach ansteckend. Kulinarisch bewegt sich die Tour auf höchstem Niveau. Elio führte uns zu kleinen, anonymen Orten, die wir alleine niemals gefunden hätten. Jede Station bot exquisite Tapas, die uns die Vielfalt und Qualität der andalusischen Küche auf wunderbarste Weise nahebrachten. Wir haben Sevilla von seiner leckersten Seite kennengelernt und jede Minute in vollen Zügen genossen.
Kevin Krifter
The Tapas Tour with Elio has been one of the best experiences I‘ve had while travelling, hands down! What a wonderful guy, what a knowledgeable guide, born and raised in Sevilla and you can feel that. He knows the best places you could never find as a tourist, knows everyone and their grandparents and that makes this tour so special, he makes you feel like a Sevillero, sincerely. If you like authentic food and a local experience, Elio is your guy. Thank you Elio, it was a blast!
Julia Martin
Ellio was awesome and the food tour exceeded expectations!!
Allana
Highly recommend this food tour with Elio while in Seville! He is so knowledgeable and friendly, bringing us to great spots, ordering local food and drink, and providing us with a list of recommendations for the rest of our time. Thank you, Elio!
Chris Scholten
We absolutely had a great time tonight. Elio was very knowledgeable of the area because he grew up in the neighborhood. He knows all the best spots and the history of the foods. I would definitely recommend his tour. Our group was 5 people, keeping it intimate.
Maureen LaFevre
Elio is a great food tour guide. We had a wonderful evening with lots of tasty food. He shared so much knowledge about Sevilla. I highly recommend signing up for this tour.
Richard Carter
Really wonderful tour, Elio is so knowledgeable about Seville, having lived here for so long. Excellent tapas places and great recommendations, such a nice guy too !

Elio gave a great introduction to classic dishes during this tour. He’s very engaging, friendly, and real. I could tell I wasn’t getting a scripted tour; more like a “walk, chat, eat” tour of the city with a really lovely acquaintance. I liked the presentation that gave an overview of Iberian ham even though I’m not that fond of eating it. I left the tour with a good tasting of excellent foods and wines and wonderful memories. Although it’s probably okay to assume that someone who signs up for a food tour is open to (almost) anything, I would suggest asking people, especially it’s a small group as my tour was, if there’s anything they will not eat/drink (either by choice or necessity) to avoid the awkwardness of the people rejecting a dish or drink after it is placed in front of them. I think it’ll make for a better experience. Overall, this was a great experience. If you’re looking for a cool tapas tour, especially if you’re a solo traveler, look no further!
Ivan Clark
Elio is a fantastic guide. He has roots in the city and knows it well. Guarantee you will have fun on his tour and get lots of info and tips. And don't eat before you go!
Katrina Petney
I had a wonderful food tour with Elio. We explored some true gems of Seville and enjoyed a variety of delicious tapas. Elio is a local who graciously shared stories of his city’s culture, history and food. I would highly recommend this to anyone seeking an authentic food experience in Seville.
P Macready
If you are in Seville, don’t miss this exceptional food and tapas tour!!! Elio is incredibly passionate and knowledgeable about the food of his region and will guide you through the specific grades and cuts of jamón Iberica as well as the delicate local manchego cheeses. Be prepared to walk through the old city and triana, as Elio will escort you to the city’s hidden gems, packed with both tourists and locals, and will order for you a variety of local specialities. Afterwards, he will give you a list of the incredible places visited, as well as present advice on any culinary question you might have. By the end, you will be sated, educated and happily exhausted!
Iulia Sarau
I highly recommend this tour. First of all, Elio organizes the tour with max. 8 people. In our case, it happened to be only 4. This means that you will have a much more personal experience and you will not feel like you are part of a commercial tour. Definitely, it's a tour where you'll get more than just good food because Elio is a local and offers a lot of insights, he's patient to answer all the questions and at the end of the tour I felt like I understood a lot more the Spanish and Seville culture. Be sure that all the places he chooses for the tour are very well rated, authentic and with very good food. Thank you, Elio, for the great experience you have provided for us.
Vlad Dudu
We took the tapas tour with Elio and it was absolutely the best experience. The places were so thoughtfully chosen, the food was delicious and diverse. We also got some really insightful tips about the city and local traditions. Would totally recommend!
Alli Kleinke
Elio is an amazing food guide! From the educational Jamon lesson to the delicious morsels and small tapas places throughout the city, this experience is truly unforgettable. To top it off, he asked his bakery owner friend to open his incredible natural bakery for us (considering I used to be a pastry chef) and we tasted pastries like never before! BOOK THIS TOUR- you’ll be wowed by Elio’s tour, the local Seville foodie and traveler.
Luis Villa
If you're looking for an authentic tour from a true Sevilla local, this is the tour to book. Elio is a fantastic tour guide who lives and breathes Sevilla and who will share a trove of delicious knowledge! He’s also knows all business owners so he’ll have first choice over any other food tours out there!
patrick casale
Elio is incredible. His tapas tour only takes you to local spots, and the food is delicious. You'll leave w a new friend who cares very much about his city, community, and the experience that you'll have. I can not recommend him enough. Make sure that this is the first thing that you do in Seville.
Jennifer Agee
Elio and his team are amazing! We took several tours and each one was excellent! Great communication before the tours and had the perfect mix of information and fun. Highly recommend!
Jake Sullivan
Elio is a very interesting, informative, fun and professional tour guide. He was warmly greeted by all the places we stopped and they took very good care of us. Only problem was too much to eat!! Wow, were we ever full when done. All the food was local and Elio explained why we were eating them. This is a fantastic tour!
Jim Hogge
My wife and I truly enjoyed our time with Elio! He was very engaging and we learned a lot about tapas. The best thing was that we got to know someone from Sevilla and see Sevilla through his eyes/experience. Highly recommend!!
Norman Patry
We loved this tour. The guide was a local who grew up in Seville and is a jamon carver. All the stops were amazing as was his knowledge of food and Seville. Highly recommended
Douglas Miller
Elio was a terrific guide and educator to the diversity of tapas. Coming from a background of food preparation and service, he provided the details of the differences in Iberian hams, wines and vermouths, and local food delicacies. He also provided recipes and suggestions for restaurants, bars, and coffee shops in Sevilla, Cordoba, and Granada. He was very personable and fun to explore the neighborhoods of Sevilla. Best food tour we have ever had!
Ian Blake
This was the best food tour we have done anywhere. Elio was extremely helpful at communicating beforehand and then tailored the tour to our needs (eg one of us is vegetarian). It was a great mix of food and every place had its own charm; it was also a great introduction to the city as a walking tour. Cannot recommend more highly!
christi felps
Elio our guide was amazing - he was raised in Seville and knows everyone- the places he took us were wonderful and not the tourist traps- it was secret entrances and owners who were friends.
Rahim Kaba
Elio was a fantastic guide! A local of Seville, he knew all of the best spots. We really appreciated the small group (in our case, 5 people), which made the experience more intimate and personalized. Highly recommended!
Angela Jefferson
I did the Sevilla tapas tour with Elio and it was a fantastic experience. Elio is professional, kind, and an expert in the local cuisine. I am a solo traveler and was the only one on the tour- many other companies would have cancelled but Elio was happy to take only me which was greatly appreciated. We tasted wonderful food and drink at different establishments and he was able to provide me with tips and information for everything Sevilla along the way. I highly recommend this tour- you won't be disappointed :)
Andrew McDermott
This tour was truly amazing! My husband and I love doing food tours with locals, and this one exceeded all our expectations. Elio was the absolutely best tour guide, and went way above and beyond to give us a fantastic tour. His passion for food and drinks, as well as for the history of Sevilla came through in everything we did. Not only was our time with Elio amazing, but he gave us a great list of places to try during our time in Sevilla, and showed us places and foods we would have never found on our own. And since we were the only two people signed up, we got a private tour! Other tour companies would have definitely cancelled on us, but Elio gave us the best night. Do yourself a favor, skip the big tour companies and support this superb local business. I promise you won’t regret it!! Such a fun and memorable night!
Pathik Shah
Elio tovani, our tapas tour guide was really nice, he helped us understand the authentic food habits of seville. He was so informative and sweet. He was keen that we have a beautiful experience. He took us to the most outstanding tapas tour to various restaurants who have indeepth knowledge of the culture. The cherry on top of was bakery which had zero preservatives. Overall lovely experience. We were vegetarian and than also we had some amazing local vegetarian tapas at oldest restraunt in seville which was started in 1850 and food was similar to Indian culture . Thanks a lot for the amazing experience we would recommend everyone to try with him and best Part is his passion for his culture and food . Even please visit his wife shop which sell some amazing local wine and food Graciassss!!!!!
S Mong
Our guide Elio is excellent. He is knowledgeable and offers lots of details and history.
Sacha Joubert
Fantastic Fun food filled experience with Elio. We love to book a food tour in every new city we visit , you don’t feel like you are on a tour , it’s more like going out with a friend of a friend in their city . Super knowledgeable, show you the best spots , great food and great company . A definite must do , currently working our way through some great recommendations given by Elio . Thanks again for a great night out .
David
Elio is a wonderful host! A proper local and a lovely bloke who loves food, so the perfect person to spend a few hours with in Seville! It was great to visit some spots that the locals frequent and we had some delicious dishes. You won’t leave hungry!
Ramiro Morales
Elio was very informative and took us to great places for very nice typical Sevillan tapas and drinks. The walking was nice between places to get to know the different neighborhoods and some interesting history of the city and the areas. Overall 5 stars. Highly recommend both Elio and this your company.
Mark Collins
Elio was a knowledgeable and approachable guide, passionate about the gastronomy in and around Seville. We loved the variety of dishes, from Iberian jambon to anchovies to braised pigs cheeks, fino sherry to vermouth and pastries galore. Thank you for sharing a little of th city and culture of Seville with us.
Juliet Wanosky
Elio was an awesome guide! This tour was great introduction to Sevilla’s food scene, and we learned a lot about the city along the way. Would 100% recommend to anyone!
A Vg
I did the tapas tour with Elio last week and enjoyed the experience immensly. Since the groups are always kept quite small, he could give us his full attention. Elio knows the city like the back of his hand and he could answer all the questions we had. He also made sure to order food we'd like and had not eaten yet. Make sure you start the tour with an empty stomach because there will be a lot of food :) Overall, I would recommend this tour to everyone !
T Hatten
So fun. Tons of food. Feel like a local.
Hannah van Amen
We are still so full!! We had so much fun with Elio and the tapas tour. Elio really knows the area growing up in Seville he shares his knowledge of the area and people with you! Each stop is different from the history to the food. Also, I am gluten intolerant and Elio was so kind in working with me and the different restaurants to accommodate my dietary restriction. Thank you again!!!
Kim Matthews
WOW! I have previously had the pleasure of doing a “similar” tour in Madrid with a well known larger company.I was tempted again to use them, but felt I wanted something less commercial, did I find it? Yes, Elio was engaging, knowledgeable and most of all PROUD & PASSIONATE about his Sevilla and truly wants his customers to embrace the food, culture & history. Would I recommend this experience..100%
Fred findlay
Elio was a great guide, knowledgable on everything food and Seville. Also a lovely bloke, would highly reccomend
Elisa C-M
We did the tapas food tour today with Elio. Elio was absolutely fantastic from start to end, we learnt so much about the food of Sevilla. Elio ensured we had so much food and drink, we were so full by the end of the tour! This your definitely a must do on your trip. I would highly recommend this tour at the start of your trip so see some places where locals eat in Sevilla, and then use Elio’s restaurant and bar recommendations for the rest of your trip. Thank you so much Elio!
kim Repscha
A wonderful experience. They were very accommodating to our schedule change. Elio really knows his food! We felt as though we were a part of his community and learned so much about local food. Don't miss this!
Peter Lee
A terrific tour - lots of fun, information, and good food. Elio is an enthusiastic native of Seville with much knowledge of all things Andalusian. We went to several bars/restaurants frequented by the locals for a variety of tapas and finished at a local bakery for dessert. In addition to our tour stops, Elio provided tips and links for places to eat and drink on our own. It was a great experience!
Richard Tat
We had a great time on this tapas tour with Elio. He is an amazing guide with great knowledge and enthusiasm. We got to try a lot of great food in places we wouldn’t have found by ourselves but will definitely be going back to. I would highly recommend this tour and will do it again when we return.
H Col
Our group of 4 had the BEST time with Elio last week! He took us to some real local hidden gems and we got to taste so many delicious drinks and tapas dishes that we never would’ve known how to order. The tour takes you from central Seville and then over the bridge in to Triana, all accompanied by Elio’s fantastic knowledge and stories. You can really tell how much passion he has for these tours, and it was truly the highlight of our stay in Seville. We can’t wait to come back and try the evening tour! Thanks again Elio, I cannot recommend this tour enough if you want to experience Seville like a local.
Sarah Muir
Elio was a wonderful tour guide! Customised perfectly to our needs. Interesting and informative. We really appreciated all the additional recommendations for the rest of our stay. Highly recommend this tour especially at the start of your time in Seville. Thank you Elio 👍
KC Cotter
Excellent tour with a fantastic local host. The varity of food and drink was amazing. Went to places we would never have found. Great night out. Highly recommend.
Mary Claire Cotter
Really interesting and informative local guide with great food and drink stops in beautiful Seville . Very helpful in providing recommendations for the rest of our stay
Sarah Brenig-Croft
Elio was a great host, and really led the tour according to what we wanted when made it feel really personal. For example I’d mentioned I hadn’t had a chance to try the fried fish so he made sure we had some! He was very friendly and knowledgable, and all the food and wine we tried was amazing!
sandra diaz romero
Experiencia increíble, gracias a Elio pasamos los mejores días en sevilla. Nos llevamos de ahí un amigo para siempre. Híper recomendable
Derek T
Elio was great. Not only did he show us the insider tips for tapas in Sevilla, we got foodie insight about what makes jamon iberico special and how it's made. Elio loves to cook himself and knew the recipe to almost all the dishes we ate. His knowledge of Sevilla was impressive so it was like a tapas tour with a historic element thrown in. We loved it and I would recommend it without reservation.
Pierre Rieumont
What an incredible time with Elio on our tapas tour. He customized the entire tour to our family which was super impressive as our daughter is a picky eater. Highly recommend to book this tour on your first day in Seville as Elio has plenty of recommendations for everything in the city! Today was truly a highlight of our trip. Thank you my friend!
Ivone Hodiny
Thoroughly enjoyed our tapas crawl with Elio - and learnt lots too at the same time. So much so that we went back to one of the tapa restaurants the next day to have/try more! A great experience and covered a good part of Seville which we would otherwise have missed, if not for Elio. Also appreciated that Elio agreed to take us on this culinary experience at such short notice, literally that same evening! Thanks Elio!
Cory Michal
Elio was an amazing guide. He took us to the most authentic places with the best tapas and drinks. He knows an incredible amount about Sevilla, food, wine and culture. I recommend anyone visiting the city who wants to enjoy some great tapas and drinks take his tour.
Nathan Phillips
This tour with Elio was so much fun and there were incredible food and drinks at every stop. I don't think I could have possibly eaten or drank any more than I did, but I still didn't want the tour to be over. I will absolutely be sending my friends to Elio and gladly take another tour with him next time I'm back in Sevilla!
Elyn Tan
We had a great evening with Elios! We booked a Monday night and ended up having essentially a private tour:) Elios was really engaging and passionate about all things food and drink in Seville. Each spot he took us was authentic, unique and delicious. We were the only non- locals dining in every restaurant we tried. Highly recommend!
Claire Slesinski
We had a lovely experience doing the afternoon tapas tour with Elio! It was great to visit and support local businesses to try authentic and delicious food. Elio is a wonderful guide with so much knowledge to share. I also appreciated that the tapas and drinks could be customized and chosen based on our preferences, creating a tailored and comfortable experience. Highly recommend!
Felipe Castellanos
Really great tour, all the food was incredible good and Elio really made sure we had a great experience. He not only has a very well curated food experience, also shared really good information about Sevilla and it's culture. 100% recommend.
Fritz K
As seasoned travelers, we have been on many tours and excursions. From experience, we have learned that the best tours are with small groups lead by local independent operators. The Seville Tapas Tour checks all the boxes! Elio is a life long resident of Sevilla and knows just about all there is to know about his city. He takes you to the most interesting and historic bars that have the most delicious tapas. His choice of beverages perfectly pair with the food. The portions are generous unlike other tapas tours that we have taken. Elio is also an accomplished cook and can offer tips and recipes that you can enjoy at home. His tutorial on jamón ibérico will open your eyes and made you a discriminating connoisseur. We had a great experiences and highly recommend this tour!!! Thanks, Elio!
Stray Monkey
We had a great time. He went above and beyond our expectations. He catered the tour to our taste. Highly recommend him.
Lizzi Whittlesey
My husband and I had a fabulous time with Elio on his tapas tour! We were in Sevilla during the low season (late November) so it ended up being just the two of us on the tour, which was great. I'm currently pregnant, so I was unable to eat a few things (or drink, sadly) and Elio was extremely accommodating and coordinated several substitutions for me. We liked one of the stops so much we went back ourselves the next day. Thanks Elio for a great experience!
Tracey C
We had a great time with Elio and new friends on the Seville Food Tour. Elio introduced us to interesting local tapas bars, ordered wonderful local dishes we would never have tried and was a super guide. His passion for the area and local knowledge was a definite plus. Thank you Elio! 🧡
Erica Jewitt
Brilliant tapas tour..Elio is a great guide..his knowledge of the food,the local history ,the non tourist places that he brought us to, made for our best experience during our stay in Seville.
Gosia Baran
The highlight of our family's week-long vacation in Seville was the food tour. Our guide, Elio, impressed us with his extensive knowledge of history, cuisine, wine, and local hidden bars popular among residents. Should we visit Seville again, joining another tapas tour with Elio is a must.
Jennifer Ilk
Elio was the best guide. He shared many personal stories as well as his great knowledge of local food and drink. Would definitely recommend him to make your trip to Seville unforgettable.
Jen Green
Elio took us to some landmark tapas restaurants that we otherwise would never have been able to get into. The food was fantastic and on our walks in between we spoke of Seville history and the famous architecture we walked past. A great way to spend a couple of hours. Elio is the best!!
Fiona Johnston
We have just returned from our food tour of Seville with Elio. A fantastic and charming host, he had time for everyone, and answered all of our questions. We tasted a complete range of food and drinks and we visited tapas bars you would never find but for the tour. I would highly recommend this tour if you are in Seville.
William Fant
This was easily the best tour we took in Seville and most likely the best tour we have ever taken. Elio is amazing!!! He took us to several locations, serving us a large variety of tapas and providing us with a plethora of knowledge about this amazing city and it’s foods. We loved the foods and drinks so much that we even went back to eat and drink at some of the locations the following day. I think our only regret was not taking this tour on our first day in Seville. Do not hesitate to book this tour as it is like walking the city with an amazing guide, while eating, and drinking with a good friend. Thank you Elio. We miss you already.
P
Great tour with a lovely guide! I ended up doing the tour alone and appreciated not being cancelled despite it being just me. Elio communicated throughout really well and with enthusiasm. The selection of places and tapas is great - and Elio can tailor it depending on preferences. It includes drink pairing with food, lots of interesting information about jamón ibérico and sherry, and good pace throughout. It was nice to be able to visit different areas and chat along the way. Elio also shared some great recommendations for more food and drink, so I will need to come back. I really recommend it and will be sending my friends Elio’s way!
A D
We had the best time on this tour. Elio was very knowledgeable, friendly and welcoming. We were so full at the end we needed to lie down. Our only regret was not doing this tour immediately on arriving in Seville so we knew where all the best places to eat were. Highly recommend.
Loredana Paciolla
Llegamos a Sevilla sabiendo que ibamos a disfrutar pero nunca imaginamos que podríamos hacerlo de esta manera. Elio nos ha enseñado los bares típicos, todo lo que no podíamos perdernos y la mejor comida de la ciudad. Súper recomendable, muchísimas gracias Elio por hacernos pasar un día para recordar siempre♥️
Rachel
Highly recommended, do this tour when first arrive in Seville, if you love food and drink, this is the tour for you! Booking was super easy and there was communication throughout to the point of meeting Elio. Eilo was very welcoming, we started the evening off with an insight to the local produce and that set the tone for the tour. Taking us to little spots we would never imagine going to with the locals. Each dish and drink Elio went into the history behind it and it made you appreciate it that little bit more. During the tour we talked about some local delicacies and Eilo tailored the tour midway through to let us try them. After the tour Eilo sent us a detailed list of the places we had visited and other recommendations to try throughout our stay. It was our first time doing a food and drink tour and it was a very special evening in a beautiful city. P.S make sure you go on an empty stomach, you won’t go hungry!
Cody Fritz
Time and money well spent! You will visit unique places, eat great food, learn so much culture and history, and potentially make new friendships with the right sized tour group!
Cathy Wintsch
Fantastic tour, we were a group of 5 & Elio is so knowledgeable and passionate about all things food, drink & Seville. Went to 5 very different tapas restaurants, each with their own story. Elio ordered for us at each stop & each was as good as the next. By far one of the best food tours I have done, if you are going to be in Seville make sure you book this tour!
Katy Poulter
I cannot tell you how lucky I feel that I discovered Sevilla Tapas Tours. We LOVE a food tour, we have done many all over the world, so I have very high expectations and Elio absolutely delivered. Firstly, we fell in love with Elio. He is from Seville and what he doesn’t know about the local food is’t worth knowing. He has a genuine passion and it feels like he knows everyone in the whole city. Secondly, the tour was awesome! An insane amount of tasty food was consumed, you certainly won’t go hungry. My parents did another food tour with a different company and they were quite envious when we told them about some of the places we visited with Elio. Lastly, what I liked most is the companies genuine ethos for you to have the best experience possible. Their tours will go ahead even if only 1 person signs up and they limit their group size to 8 people so it always feels personal. We also had a 5 year old with us and he was always catered for and he loved it. He gave the tour 100 out of 10. Thank you for an amazing day x
Nina Klein
Fantastic tour!! Elio is an amazing guide. He took us to the nicest, most typical Sevillan restaurants and markets, we ate delicious food and gained some great insights into the local culture. Definitely recommended as a must-do tour when in Sevilla!
Brittany Crampton
I highly recommend booking this tour. It was a relaxed environment, it felt like we were out to dinner with friends. Elio was wonderful and gave us a broad tasting of food and complimentary drinks along with info about the city and establishments. Glad we found this tour.
Savina Wachter
We had a wonderful tour with Elio. It was just us on the tour and he catered for our dietary needs so well (one vegetarian and one dairy free)! Elio was friendly, genuine, warm and knowledgeable and the food we had was wonderful! His local knowledge is impressive! Thank you again for an amazing day 😊
Sebastian Vargas
I had the pleasure of participating in a Tapas tour in Seville with Elio, and it was an exceptional experience. The tour not only offered a fantastic variety of delicious food but also provided a deep dive into the city's rich culture and history. Our tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable, offering fascinating insights into Seville's heritage, which added a layer of depth to the culinary adventure. From mouthwatering local dishes to intriguing stories about the city, this tour was an unforgettable exploration of Seville. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a perfect blend of food, culture, and an engaging tour guide.
Karen Maraga
A fabulous evening with Elio as we explored local food, drinks and the history of Seville. Elio was a wonderful guide who generously shared his local knowledge with us. We ate so much, enjoyed the wonderful settings of each place and really felt like we had an opportunity to experience the real Seville.
Irene Morton
Great evening with Elio. Very informative and brought us to parts of Seville that we would not have found. Highly recommended.
Zainab Hafdi
If you are looking for an amazing experience this is THE food tour to book. Elio is an amazing tourer. He is really pationnated by Seville. Please be prepared to walk a lot. See a lot of places. Do not eat before the tour because the food is amazing and there is a lot to taste. We've learned about the history of different restaurant, differente historical things that happened. Let me tell you that at the end of the tour we were more than full, we appreciated the different wines pairing. At the end of the night we all had a little chit chat and Elio made us laugh really hard with all his stories. Personnaly I will definitely come back with all my family and book again with him. Please do not hesitate to book and request Elio.he is really worth the 3.5 hours that you will stay with him! Elio thank you very much for this amazing experience. You made our day in Seville really good and we are leaving with good memories. Zaïnab & Fatima
Rowan Van de Kerkhof
Een super leuke foodtour met Elio! Hij is een super enthousiaste en deskundige man die alles met passie verteld. Je merkt ook dat hij een liefde voor Sevilla heeft. Erg lekker gegeten en leuke plekken ontdekt waar we normaal niet zouden komen. Wij zijn bij de tour terecht gekomen door zijn (en zijn vrouw) super leuke delicatessenwinkel productos de la sierra. Daarvoor hebben wij hem gezien op een TV programma van 24 kitchen met Ainsley Harriot (aanrader om te kijken).
Clive De Souza
If you were ever considering a tapas tour, I cannot recommend this highly enough. We should have been a party of 6 but ended up as a ‘private’ tour of 2. Elio made the tour an absolute delight. With his intimate knowledge of Seville, he took us to places that we would not have gone into, where we tried a variety of food and drink. All of them delicious. Elio’s passion for what he does shines through; his local knowledge of food, drinks and Seville is second to none. His main aim is that we enjoy the tour and have enough to eat and drink; this he achieved. Thanks Elio.
Frances Kwan
We loved our tour! The guide was so knowledgeable about not only Spains history but also schooled in culinary arts. His recommendations on the tour and for our dinner later
L
The tour with Elio was absolutely amazing and really a unique experience. We went to 5 small, authentic, local places and had fantastic tapas and delicious drinks. We were only 6 people in the group and it was enough food for dinner. Elio also gave us some recommendations for the rest of our trip (not only in Sevilla). I definitely recommend booking a tour with them!
sylvia Gonzalez
We had a most memorable, delicious, unique dining experience with Elio. Not only was he knowledgeable, he was enthusiastic to share the history of his hometown, Seville. All the food was unique. Hidden gems. I have been on several food tours and this has definitely has been one of the best. I highly recommend Elio and his tapas tour of Seville.
Mimi Weisband
Elio was fantastic with his descriptions of the food, Sevilla history and we loved all of the stops. The food was delicious. Highly recommend!!
Michael Reichstein
Excellent tour! Elio is a fantastic guide with incredible knowledge.
AJ Stone
Elio's tour was fantastic, small and personalized. He was like a friend you've known forever showing you his favourite places to eat and his favourite dishes. You visit real authentic Spanish restaurants that have been around for generations - and that is because they know their stuff and they do it well. You will eat a good selection of tapas and local drinks, it is delicious. Elio was very knowledgeable and happy to answer all of our weird and wonderful questions. Highly recommend the personalized attention of this smaller group tour. Gracias Elio!!!
Jessica Moffatt
Had the most amazing evening with Elio from Seville tapas tour. We tasted lots of delicious foods and drinks. The tour was a great start to our days in Seville as we have an idea of what to order for the rest of our stay, and have received lots of well thought out recommendations for restaurants and bars that we look forward to trying!
Pia D.
The guide, Elio, was very friendly and knows everything about Sevilla and the Bars you're going to go. It was a great and interesting experience!
foregail
Elio was a great host in Seville on our tapas tour evening. Being a local he knew Seville's past and present history including the best places to enjoy delicious tapas and wines. Great fun way to explore the City and to find the interesting eating and drinking hotspots. Well done Elio, my girlfriends and I had a great time.
Kellie Mccullough
Fantastic tour food was delicious. Elio was very nice, knowledgeable and passionate about the food and the city. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting Seville.
Neil Ryan
Elio is a very helpful guide, full of interesting information and great recommendations. He is perfect for this kind of tour, with lots of knowledge to share. The only reason I am giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because last year we did a pinxtos tour in Blibao and all the dishes we tried then were AMAZING; so Seville had high standards to match and the food was not as consistently outstanding as we enjoyed last year.
Ann T
We had a fabulous night walking the streets of Seville, exploring quality local bars & restaurants, and tasting wonderful food. And what’s more, our companion/guide for the night was great company. We highly recommend this experience as a great way to learn more about Seville, it’s food & its culture.
Shuaib Ellahi
Absolutely fantastic. Well worth it and Elio is a great host and extremely knowledgeable. Highly reccomend
Melissa Somers
Elio was wonderful. He took my husband out for a fantastic night of tapas. He was knowledgeable and engaging. We would highly recommend this tour!
Addison Bouza
We had an amazing time! Went to a bunch of different local tapas places. A few you wouldn’t find on your own. Elio is a great guide, he made the tour super fun and included some history of the area. Highly recommend for anyone looking!
isabelle verboekhoven
J ai réservé ce tour des tapas en version privée pour ma famille avec Elio et le guide francophone qui l'accompagne. Ce fut une expérience incroyable au niveau gustatif mais aussi au niveau humain ! Nous avons découvert des spécialités délicieuses mais aussi l'âme de Séville non pas avec des guides mais avec de vrais amis ! A recommander absolument !
martin bray
Just spent 4 hours with Elio on the Seville Tapas Food tour. Great guy excellent food and drink, cannot recommend enough, must do in Seville
Markus Roth
Wonderful experience!! We did the Original Tapas Tour. Elio was our guide, he was really great and with great local knowledge! He took us to some places which were truly hidden gems we would have never found on our own!
Georgette Boza
Reservé el tour para ir con unos familiares que venían a España y pasaban por Sevilla unos días y quedamos encantados con el tour. Nuestro guía fue Elio. Una persona encantadora que te cuenta con mucha pasión detalles de su ciudad. Nos conquistó enseguida con su simpatía y, por supuesto, con las deliciosas tapas que eligió para la degustación durante el tour. 100% recomendable. Mi familia quedó fascinada y, por mi parte, muy contenta también con el trato recibido por atención al cliente.

We had a wonderful tour with Elio. His lifelong knowledge of Seville and its food made for an interesting and entertaining evening. We visited a variety of restaurants and bars, and learnt much about Spanish food and drink and living in Spain generally. Elio is a engaging and generous host. And he provided plenty of information for the rest of our trip. Highly recommended.

Elio was just the best! We received a really warm welcome and tasted some delicious tapas and wine. We were certainly not hungry by the end of the tour. Elio was really knowledgeable in terms of the local history and of the food and wines we tasted. I’d totally recommend one of his tours if you are visiting Seville.
Antoinette Marotta
What an amazing experience! Learnt so much and tasted such great food which I wouldn’t of know what it was from a menu. Our tour guide Elio was very good and so much fun 🤩 definitely recommend
Paula Rosado
Best decision ever! Take this private tour as you arrive! Elio (our guide) was excellent! We were a group of six and he came to our hotel to get us. The experience was fantastic! Knowledge about Spanish food (more than I can explain to my friends) and places to go. I’d say you have to do this and then plan the rest of your holiday. Local insight that I don’t have and we really appreciated. The food we tasted was excellent, all places were carefully picked, accommodating and beautiful. Thanks Elio!!

Wow! Elio is a fantastic, fun and funny guide. He is very knowledgeable about Iberian ham, some call him “El Patron de Jamón”, and Sevillan food. But even more special is the joy and energy he brings to sharing his passion with you. You’ll feel like you are visiting your life long friend after a few minutes with him. We highly recommend doing this tour when you first arrive so you can return to the places you like during your trip. And who knows…maybe after doing a Sevilla Tapas Tour with Elio you’ll want to move there just like my husband and I did🥰
Danielle Stark
The tapas tour with Elio was one of the highlights of our trip. When talking to Elio he explained that his goal for the tour is to make it feel like a friend of yours is just showing you around the city, and that is exactly how it felt. I learned so much about the city, its history while also tasting delicious Spanish cuisine. Will definitely be recommending to anyone I know who comes to the area.

We had the most amazing experience with Elio on his delicious and entertaining tapas tour. One of the best things I’ve ever done on holiday. His knowledge and passion for the local Andalusian food and wine is amazing, I felt like Anthony Bourdain on an episode of Parts Unknown! My wife is vegetarian and he made sure she was well catered for with the tapas selection too. Highly recommend this experience!

Our group of 4 enjoyed an amazing evening with Elio! We visited some amazing places that we would never have found on our own in Seville and got to try so many delicious dishes, all paired with different drinks. It was more than enough food and drinks for the evening! We walked through several different neighborhoods, also learning about some of the history and local fun facts. Elio was very entertaining and spent a lot of time with us. Afterwards, he recommended several other places for us to try while we are in town and followed up by sending us not only a list of where he had taken us and what he had ordered, but also a lengthy list of more recommendations. It felt like being out with a good friend, not a tour guide. Communication with the office in booking the tour was also smooth and easy. Can’t recommend them highly enough and can’t wait to return to Seville and try some of their other tours. Thanks again Carlos and Elio!
Denesh Gnanalingam
Great tour! Elio was a great tour guide and showed us all the best spots. He took great care in explaining the history of Seville (as well as the food and drinks) during the trip. I highly recommend this as a must-do when coming to Seville.
Lucy Dillon
We loved loved loved this Seville tapas tour! It was the perfect way to orientate ourselves in Seville, learn about the history and culture and to try all the traditional (and best) food and drinks. Elio is an excellent host with all the best contacts in town and we had lots of fun getting to know him over the evening. This tour will ensure you know where and what to eat for the rest of your trip in Seville! Money well spent, definitely recommend!!
Jesús Meilán
Aunque era algo reacio porque pensé que era un Tour para los no españoles y nosotros somos gallegos, la verdad que nos moló muchísimo la experiencia y seguro repetiremos Se nota que Elio es un guía que le apasiona lo que hace y lo hace excelentemente.
Germán Díaz
Great experience ‘n amazing tasting! Thanks Elio!!
darren elmes
Probably the best food tour I’ve ever taken great destinations, food, drinks and excellent knowledge from our guide Elio. A very enjoyable and interesting afternoon
Todd Murphy
Elio gives the best tours of all time! He is so easy to talk to and showed us local places we never would have found. Don’t bother looking for another guide, Elio is the best!
Emma Price
We had the best experience on our tapas tour with Elio. The tour was informative, fun and we tried some delicious food and drinks in five great venues. Elio also made sure he tailored the selection of dishes he ordered in each bar to cater for the vegetarians in our group. Overall it was a really fun experience and great way to see different areas of Seville and try some fabulous food.
Ron Buchanan
We did the afternoon tour vs the evening. 5 star service. Elio went above and beyond.
Maciel Gouveia
A group of 4 girls booked to experience the Tapas Tour (with drinks), Elio was our guide and was awesome, he looked after us so well & made sure we had the right types of Tapas especially as 2 of the girls are vegetarian. Well worth doing this tour especially when you have an experienced local who loves what he’s doing, cares for the food you are eating and takes you to places you wouldn’t normally find. ❤️
Boglárka Fekete
We loved the tapas tour. Its a very authentic way to learn about the real Seville and the locals and it is for you, if like us, you prefer to avoid the tourist traps and the clichés. Elio was super, felt like an old friend from the beginning, he is a great guide. We would recommend this tour and would do ourselves again!
John Negrine
Seville is a town with hundreds perhaps thousands of tapas bars. Which one to try? Enter Elio. A highly knowledgeable and personable local who will take you to the most interesting places for tapas, wine and vermut (vermouth). He gives tips and we returned to many of his recommendations which the average tourist would not have found. Not to be missed.
Rik Ganderton
We booked our tour as a small group tour the day before. When we arrived at the meeting place it turned out we were the only two people taking the tour! Our food tour was with Elio who was a wonderful host/guide. We visited 5 different Tapas bars including in Triana. The tapas dishes were very good and by the end of the evening we were more than full! At each location we sampled a typical alcoholic beverage including our new favourite Vermouth, also the local version of Sangria called Tinto de Verano, Orange dessert wine and Sherry. Elio was a friendly, knowledgeable and entertaining host who provided great background to the food, wine and the history of the areas we visited. We would highly recommend this tour!!
Kathy McMahon
We were in Madrid & Sevilla for 8 days Hands down the highlight of our entire trip was our Tapas tour with Elio. He shared his wealth of knowledge about our food and drinks along with the city of Sevilla. He was not only really interesting, he was really fun!
Adam Harki
I had a great time with Elio. He is from Seville and is very knowledgeable about the area and the local cuisine. I felt like I knew how to order like a local and knew more about how to judge the quality of various local options after I completed the tour. It was cool. Thanks again.
Daniel Valø
Amazing experience! We got to try several lokal restaurant in Sevilla with the guid Elio. Tapas restaurants that the lokala use, some hidden wonders of food in my opinion. Elio is entusiastisk and entertaining, and talk with pride about both the food and the city. Really good food and drinks, a little bit about the city's history and some fun facts inn between, all in all a delightful tour.
Sarah Walsh
Dear reader....if you are reading this and considering booking this trip to familiarise yourself in an unknown city whilst having a unique experience with great guide, then do not hesitate....click "book". I booked this for my partner's 50th birthday and i am thrilled we got the chance to hang out with Elio who has heaps of knowledge and passion. Elio shared his stories of the city whilst we tasted beautiful traditional foods and drinks. With only 2.5 days in the city this is a great way to experience it all in a short space of time, whilst getting further recommendations from those that really know the city on the best places to go for the rest of your trip.... What made it really special was the attention to detail made throughout the tour and the surprise cake at the end. Elio and team you were fantastic and made this birthday trip a special memory. THANK YOU!
Antonio Ramirez
Muy buena experiencia! Gracias por el tour en Triana, conocimos muchos sitios nuevos y auténticos.
Paul Vandegrift
The Seville Food Tour was one of the highlights of a 3 week trip to Spain. Elio had intimate knowledge of the food and culture and planned a great, fun evening full of delicious tapas and drinks. He also provided many additional restaurant recommendations throughout the region that we took advantage of for the remainder of our trip. I highly recommend his tour.
Sergio Gonzalez
We liked Elio! A wonderful tour of local food + drink specialities. Such a great way to try as many flavours of Sevilla as possible. I've tried another food tours around the wourld and this was the best. Elio's real local knowledge of the food, history and area along with his ability to create a really relaxed atmosphere between us strangers is what tipped this to be my favourite! He got the balance of being professional and personal just right, the perfect sevilla tapas tour. Fantastic experience with really useful knowledge and recommendations that we will shape our trip to Seville for the better. Highly recommend you do early in your trip.
Erik Viik
Definitely one of the highlights of our visit to Seville! Elio is a great guy, a food expert, and a very knowledgeable guide. His tours are highly recommended!
Beth Tomlinson
Elio was a fantastic host, guiding us round the streets of Seville with insight into what it is like to be a local in Seville. He shared stories from growing up in the area and local history that you might not easily acquire elsewhere. Over the course of a few hours he showed us several establishments for great food and accompanying drinks over 3 districts. We had a fantastic time and would highly recommend. Make sure you do this tour at the start of your trip as he will share lots of other places to eat and drink, favourite dishes, and what sights you will enjoy the most if you are short on time. We cannot recommend this highly enough. He also explained the different types of Iberico and what you should look out for.
José Miguel
Amazing tapas tour, really tasty. Friendly guide with lots of knowledge about the city, he was flexible with us.
Gemma Lawrence
This really was a fantastic tour that we would throughly recommend. Elio was so knowledgeable and shared lots of interesting information. The food and drink on the tour was great, wish we had done this earlier in our holiday so we could return to some of the great venues. Thanks Elio
Peter_ Lazharus
I booked the tour because I was traveling alone and wanted to know how and where to eat like a local. Our guide delivered exactly that, taking our group to a few small restaurants and sampling different tasty dishes at each, explaining each one in detail. The guide also pointed out little details of the city along the route that I would not have otherwise noticed. My only regret is not booking the tour for my first day, as it would have been the perfect introduction to Seville.
Fran
Disfrutamos mucho de nuestra experiencia con Sevilla Tapas Tour. Fue la mezcla perfecta de historia, tapas y diferentes bebidas. Puedo asegurar que nunca pediría la mayoría de las tapas o bebidas de haber ido por mi cuenta. Tendrás mucha, MUCHA comida. Imposible terminar y seguir teniendo hambre. El guía fue increible. Era de Sevilla y nos estuvo recomendado lugares que visitar y actividades que hacer a todo el grupo. Definitivamente la mejor manera de sumergirse en Sevilla y su historia al visitar esta magnifica ciudad.
Alejandro Rubio Elías
Le recomendé este tour a unos amigos americanos que fueron a visitar Sevilla y les tocó un gran guía que les llevó a recorrer la ciudad y enseñar la gastronomía andaluza. Me dijeron que estaban encantados de escuchar su conocimiento de la historia de Sevilla, las percepciones locales y la familiaridad con la comida en Sevilla. Empezaron comiendo una merienda de churros y terminaron con un delicioso lomo de cerdo. Se lo recomendaré a todos mis amigos extranjeros.
Fer García
El guía era tan agradable que parecía que lo conocíamos desde siempre. Nos llevó a algunos lugares increíbles que de otra manera no hubiéramos encontrado y además nos contó un poco de la historia de cada sitio. Nos encantó cada parte de este recorrido y lo recomendaríamos a cualquiera que quiera hacer un tour de tapas en Sevilla. ¡Gracias chicos!
“The best tour we did in all of Spain. We recommend this to everyone visiting Seville.”
