Seville Tapas Tours (Ir de Tapeo)
A Seville tapas tour is the tapeo done with a guide: five or six bars from Triana to the Alfalfa, salmorejo and jamón and fried fish, a copa of fino at each, and often flamenco to finish. Compare the top-rated tours below, then read our notes.
Tapas tours in Seville
Food tours and flamenco evenings
Formats: evening tapas crawls through the old town and Triana; tapas-and-flamenco evenings; food tours with a market visit; paella and tapas cooking classes with a Triana market tour.
What you will taste: salmorejo, espinacas con garbanzos, jamón ibérico, pescaíto frito, carrillada, montaditos, and fino, manzanilla or a tinto de verano.
Price and time: roughly 80 to 105 dollars for three to three and a half hours, food and drinks included.
What a good tour does
Five or six bars with a drink and a tapa at each, at least one classic taberna with barrels and hanging hams, a stop in Triana or at the Mercado de Feria, and a guide who explains the Andalusian dishes and pours you the right sherry. Groups of eight to twelve; the best-reviewed have thousands of reviews. Many tours add a short flamenco show, which in Seville is genuine rather than a tourist add-on.
Triana or the centre
Triana, across the river, is the flamenco and ceramics quarter with the most local feel; the centre around the Alfalfa and Santa Cruz is busier but has the historic bars. A good tour crosses the river at least once.
Timing
Evenings, from seven or eight; summer in Seville is fierce, so the tapeo is a night activity. Book ahead in spring for the Feria and Semana Santa crowds.
Frequently asked questions
Is a tapas tour in Seville worth it?
Yes; the tapeo is the city’s defining ritual and hard to navigate alone, and the guide handles the sherry and the ordering.
Should I do the flamenco version?
If you want both in one evening, yes; Seville’s flamenco is the real thing. Read our tapas guide for the wider picture.
Are the tours vegetarian-friendly?
Partly: salmorejo, spinach with chickpeas, tortilla and cheese work; much of the rest is ham and fish, so tell them in advance.
