What to expect
Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Setas de Sevilla (Metropol Parasol), Plaza de la Encarnacion, 41003 Seville Spain
Get your morning in Seville off to the perfect start with a coffee at a market bar after meeting up with your group. Explore the market and get a glimpse into the daily life in the city. Afterwards, make your way to the best charcuterie stall in the market and watch as impossibly thin slices of Iberian ham are cut and land on the plate in front of you.
Duration: 30 minutes
Stop At: Bar El Comercio, C. Lineros, 9, 41004 Sevilla, Spain
Pull up a chair by the bar in the cozy Bar El Comercio and watch as the owner Paco makes a fresh batch of churros. Some say they’re the best in all of Spain, but you’ll have to try them yourself. From the black and white tiled floor to the legs of ham hanging from the ceiling and the fact that the owner was born upstairs, this is one of the best places in Seville to experience food and tradition.
Duration: 10 minutes
Stop At: Santa Cruz, Seville, Seville, Spain
Follow your guide to Barrio Santa Cruz, the old Jewish quarter, and step into a historic convent. This is an incredible opportunity to see a part of Seville that many miss and a great chance to try the nuns’ famous homemade cookies.
Duration: 10 minutes
Stop At: La Fresquita, C. Mateos Gago, 29, 41004 Sevilla, Spain
Walk through the doors of this spectacular venue that’s part bar and part museum. Dedicated to the vibrant Holy Week, the walls of Taberna La Fresquita are adorned with photos, plaques, and memorabilia all paying homage to the celebration. Sit down with a glass of tinto de verano, a mix of red wine and lemon soda, and tuck into traditional montadito sandwiches filled with chorizo and shredded pork.
Duration: 25 minutes
Stop At: FREIDURÍA LA ISLA, C. García de Vinuesa, 13, 41001 Sevilla, Spain
Immerse yourself in the Seville way of life and live like a local at Freiduría La Isla. The father and son team here serve up freshly fried fish in a friendly and energetic restaurant. At its most popular during April Fair, the fried fish here is served in paper cones and often enjoyed with a glass of one of the driest white wines in the world. You'll enjoy it in the form of their famous adobo, a special marinade that’s only found in this part of the world.
Duration: 15 minutes
Stop At: Restaurante El Atún, C. Joaquín Guichot, 5, 41001 Sevilla, Spain
Some of the best places to eat in Seville are family-run and have been around for generations, and El Atún is no exception. This tapas bar pays homage to the history of Seville and tapas, with a traditional menu with plenty of choices to catch the eye of any seafood lover – El Atún means “Tuna, ” after all. Learn how tapas bars play a big role in life in Seville and, most importantly, find out the best ways to navigate the busiest of bars from your guide.
Duration: 30 minutes
Stop At: Confitería La Campana, C. Sierpes, 1, 3, 41004 Sevilla, Spain
First opening their doors in 1885, the family who runs Confitería La Campana have perfected their craft over the past 135 years and have passed their knowledge down through four generations. Marvel at their wonderous creations and try to narrow down your choices – it’s harder than you’d think! This is one of the grandest bakeries you’re ever likely to be in, where the classy interiors are only outmatched by the elaborately designed cakes and treats.

I loved learning about the foods we were trying, and the people serving them in the local run businesses we visited. Learning more about the culture, history, and Semana Santa was all very interesting. I tried things I wouldn't have tried on my own and very much enjoyed them. Miranda was knowledgeable and did a wonderful job. She also gave us a great recommendation for where to see Flamenco which we probably would've missed out on if we hadn't taken this tour.charlottey817

Highly recommended! Our guide Miranda was extremely knowledgeable and very friendly, we learned a lot about Seville eating culture and history that we wouldn’t have learned otherwise. Delicious tapas and drinks too.

It was a very interesting and enjoyable tour. The food was very tasty and it is very good that they choose local, family run businesses to show us to. The guide, Miranda, was also very nice and gave us a lot of interesting information about Seville. Hope to do another tour sometime in the future.

Had an absolutely lovely morning with Miranda on this tour. We made plenty of stops for great food, and also walked around the city centre and saw some interesting locations along the way. Standout stops for me were: 1. The churros from Bar El Comercio - this came with a bit of sugar rather than chocolate, but the churros were freshly fried, not too greasy, and surprisingly light. I went back here a few days later to get some with the traditional chocolate and it was fab. 2. Everything from El Atun. Everyone in our group agreed to share a number of tapas dishes suggested by Miranda, and they were all so delicious. This tour was a great way to get to know typical Seville dishes, from local bars and restaurants that did them really well.michaelsG2940PP

Miranda was an incredible guide! I was a tour guide for years and she is the best guide I've ever come across. She gave us a top quality tour and made us feel like a million bucks.
