“Highly recommended. Elio the guide is local to Seville having lived here all his life. We were taken to local bars and restaurants tasting local delicacies. Very informative including wine and food. A must on your visit to Seville”
Taste the Real Seville
Small groups. Hidden bars. Elio walking every tour. Three hours of tapas at the places sevillanos actually eat — not where the guidebooks send you.
Run by the people who walk the tour
We're Elio and Carlos. Elio spent years guiding for one of Seville's biggest tapas tour companies — until bigger groups started getting in the way of doing the tour right. In late 2021 we started Sevilla Tapas Tour to do food tours the old way: small, slow, and at the bars locals actually go to. Elio walks every tour himself.

What Our Guests Say
“A great experience. Elio was more like an old friend than a tour guide. He is an expert concerning sherry, imberico, and life in Seville. Fantastic tapas from authentic spots that the locals frequent. Elio is accommodating on every level. We highly recommend for a small group, personal experience.”
“Small tour with so much charm! Elio really knows his city and the tour starts off in his own neighbourhood. The camaraderie with the restaurant owners and folks around the tour really made this feel like something special. Every bite was delicious and we learned so much about sherry, wine and local food! 10/10 recommend this tour!”
“I couldn’t recommend Elio’s food tour enough. My partner and I went on our first day in Sevilla, and we were blown away by Elio’s knowledge, passion and charisma. We had some wonderful food and drinks and it was an amazing opportunity to visit family run restaurants that you wouldn’t know about as a tourist. It was a great way to get to know this wonderful city. We also visited some of Elio’s recommendations outside the tour, which were equally as fabulous. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting Sevilla who loves food.”
“Elio seriously knows his stuff. Hands down the best food tour I’ve ever been on. We decided to do this on our first day in Seville and it’s already the best part of our trip. We would not have known where the best food places are and Elio showed us with fantastic enthusiasm and wisdom, 100% would recommend to anyone - such an incredible time. Thank you Elio”
“Definitely a highlight of our trip to Seville! Elio has all the local insights and great tips. Highly recommend!”
“Hands down the best food experience we had in Seville. Don't think twice, just book it!”
