My wife and I had a lovely lunchtime tour on May 9th, taking a leisurely sun-drenched afternoon visiting three very different bars, off the beaten track and each one fascinating in its own way. Seville is the home of tapas, so it makes sense to understand the culture and how to join in, and we took this tour on our... More

Thanks for your comments! It's true that it's better to take the tour just after arriving as it really does set you up for going out to places on your own later on. And it sounds like you did just that and very well too. Glad you enjoyed our afternoon as much as I did. More

“Good for foodies and non-foodies alike”

Reviewed May 11, 2012

My husband and I booked Shawn for our first evening in Seville. We had a bit of a late start, but it turned out fine since locals don’t eat dinner until 9 or 10 p.m. anyway. Don’t remember the names of the tapas bars we visited (wouldn’t want to give away her secrets, anyway!) but will be difficult to forget... More

Thanks for such a nice review. I do like to organise the tours "on the fly" and always start off with a plan that is very flexible depending on what people tell me when we meet. Even though I ask for food preferences beforehand it's always interesting to see what comes up in conversation, which might totally change the direction... More

“Tapas Tour was a lot of fun”

Reviewed May 11, 2012

My husband and 2 children met up with Peter and another couple from England to go on theTapas Tour. We went to 2 restaurants. The first place, Peter ordered us Sherry that was out of this world. I don't think it would be something I would have ordinarily ordered for myself. We also fell in LOVE with the jamon croquets.... More

Great to hear you enjoyed your tour with Peter! I know he had a great time too and also loves that he can now say he has been to what must be the coolest holiday rental in Seville. Thanks for taking the time to comment. More

“Best experience in Seville”

Reviewed May 5, 2012

We took this much anticipated tapas tour a day after arriving in Seville for our 2 week Andalusia trip. At first, we took a 2 hour walking tour with Peter in the historical center of the city, which we then followed with a 2-restaurant tapas tour with Shawn. I have to say that the tapas we had on our tour... More

“Second time and still superb.”

Reviewed May 4, 2012

I just returned from my second tapas tour with Shawn and it was just as good as the one I took two years ago with my partner- I'm convinced i wouldn't have had such an amazing experience in the Seville without Shawn's guidance and expertise. On this trip we explored a different district and delved into the traditional and modern... More

Seville has such a diverse tapas culture that it's easy - and also fun - to organise tapas tours in different barrios and visit a variety of bars. Love it when people try something totally new and go "wow!". We still haven't been to Triana - next time? More

“An unfortunately disappointing tour”

Reviewed April 23, 2012

We signed up for this tour based on the Tripadvisor reviews, and I'm sad to report that we were quite disappointed with it. Shawn was very responsive when setting up our tour, and informed us up front that she was previously booked for the evening but that her partner, Peter, could take us out instead. We thought we would experience... More

Your negative review took me by surprise. I assumed you were as pleased as you seemed when we spoke at the end of the tour, since my other clients were out of earshot and there was honestly no need to say you'd enjoyed it if you hadn't. I wish you had spoken candidly to me before posting a negative review... More

“A fantastic introduction to Seville and tapas”

Reviewed April 22, 2012

person found this review helpful

We enjoyed a lunchtime tour with Shawn on our first day in Seville and it was a fantastic introduction to this amazing city and, of course, the tapas. With so many restaurants to choose from it would be possible, without guidance, to make some bad choices on the tourist trail but our afternoon with Shawn ensured that we ate fantastic... More

“Great time to be had”

Reviewed April 19, 2012

person found this review helpful

I had a great tapas crawl lead by Shawn during my first night in Seville. She knows the scene well and knows what to get. Additionally, some handouts with tips (with Spanish and English translations) was helpful. Shawn was also forthcoming with opinions and recommendations about other aspects of Seville that went beyond food, which also turned out to be... More

“A Fabulous Introduction to Seville Tapas Culture”

Reviewed February 15, 2012

people found this review helpful

We were a group of five strangers when the evening began, and were friends by the time we parted company at the end of a fun and informative evening of tapas and conversation. Shawn is an excellent host. She is very knowledgeable about Seville and particularly Seville's tapas culture. We visited 3 different tapas bars over the course of the... More

“Shawn's Tour Gave Us Fond Food Memories”

Reviewed December 2, 2011

people found this review helpful

What a blast! I'd been following Shawn's tapas blog online and when we planned a trip to Spain a tour of Sevilla's hotspots with Shawn was a must. We'd been in Madrid and Cordoba before hitting Sevilla and were a bit confused by the food choices. I wish we'd been able to meet up with Shawn at the very beginning... More
