Spending the evening eating, drinking, and chatting with Baptiste was amazing! The Food Lover Tour…read morein Seville was hands down the best part of my trip to Spain. I had actually found this company on Yelp because initially, I was looking to go on a tapas tour in Barcelona. I booked my tour online for the Barcelona location, but last minute changed my mind and wanted to do the Seville tour instead. This company was incredibly accommodating to last minute changes. They didn't make me feel bad or guilty or charge me extra. Instead, they simply said "Fantastic! The tour in Seville is even better!" We met Baptiste at a central location in Seville (about a 10 minute walk from the Cathedral which is near where we were staying). He gave us a brief summary of the history of the "mushroom" in Seville. It was a fun way to start off the tour. Now let me say, I am not someone who is super into history -- I am on a food and drink tour! But, Baptiste told us fun, short stories or legends about certain parts of the history in Seville and it enhanced our evening all the more. The rest of the night was full of delicious food and drink! The first place we went to was a small cafe that specialized in fish and local beer. We had the fried hake, which was my personal favorite, because it was a better version of fish and chips. We also had fried and marinated anchovies (much much better than any anchovy I've had in the US). Next, we went to a restaurant called Casa Ricardo. This was such a cute, local spot with amazing food. We had Iberian ham, massive olives, and cow's cheek -- All great. That being said, the biggest hit here were the croquettes. They are traditional to Seville, and unlike any other croquettes that we had for the remainder of the trip. Also here, we had an amazing Tempranillo wine. My mom loves wine so she was super excited when Baptiste ordered this one for us. The last place we went to was called D Mercao. This is where we had the main courses. It started with some type of gazpacho soup I believe, and a really tasty Vermouth drink. We then had a butterfish appetizer with ginger, and went on to tasting some dark noodles with aioli and shrimp. Then we tried a panko with duck liver (something I thought I wouldn't like, but of course loved). Finally, we tried a baby pig entree, and had a refreshing meringue dessert to finish up our meal. Each of these courses was paired with cocktails, wine and champagnes. All of them were amazing. Even if I had come across this restaurant on my own, there is no way I would have ordered the dishes that Baptiste recommended -- So it was extremely useful and necessary to have him with us. He was professional, yet friendly and personable. Super easy to speak to him and he was genuinely curious and engaging with our stories/lives. He is still starting up this branch of the company in Seville, so lucky for us, we had a private tour. It was an amazing night that we will always remember. Added bonus -- If you liked the things you tried with Baptiste (which I guarantee you will), he will provide you with a list of other recommendations of things to do, places to eat and food to order even after the evening is over!

He was passionate about the history of the city and about all the tapas and delicious wines in front of us. We had the chance to learn more about the Jamon, the sherry wines ... Baptiste is known by the local and by the bars where we went so we had the best treatment and food. It's a 5 out 5 .

THIS SITE IS A RIPOFF. If you are at panchtours.com or the website says "Sagrada Familia by Feel…read morethe City," it is trying to look like the official site but it is a deceptive third-party vendor. We received an email two weeks after our booking that there was "no availability" for our selected (and confirmed!) date. The email makes it sound like you can't get a refund. I actually WAS able to get a refund (I hope), through a very confusing process (you click "reschedule" then click on a line of text that says something about cancellations but doesn't look like a button, and that takes you to a blank screen with a phone number -- but I did receive an email confirming cancellation and I will be watching for it on my credit card statement). By the time this scammy site cancelled our booking, there was not availability for our desired time and tour on the official Sagrada Familia site, so we are having to go at a different time, not visit the towers, and hope that another location will agree to change our timed reservation there. I feel very foolish -- I was super-careful to search for official websites when I made all of my bookings, but somehow this one deceived me. I hope some readers learn from my mistake!!
