We're looking for a food tour for our first night in Seville in May. We don't want flamenco included as we're doing that later in the week. We're looking for tapas and wine. Has anyone tried Devour or Pancho? Thank you.

I came across this food blog and was really impressed with her reviews, pictures, etc. I'm considering booking with them. They have a gourmet tour as well, but it's a bit pricey for a couple. Might be great for a group. I'm going to check out the ones you mentioned as well.

Here's she explained the tours to me:
The Sevilla Tapas Tour is approximately 3.5 hours long (starting at either 1 pm or 8 pm) in which you’ll visit three of my favourite tapas bars and sample the house specialties. The price per person includes two tapas and one drink at each establishment. Any additional food & drink will be paid for by the client, though most people find six tapas and three drinks makes a good (and filling!) meal.
Prices
2 people: 85 euros each
3-4 people: 75 euros each
5-6 people: 65 euros each
Prices include 21% Spanish sales tax
I have no financial agreement with any of the tapas bars we will visit on your Sevilla Tapas Tour. Any tapa on the menu may be chosen along with either house wine, beer on tap, soft drinks or mineral water. I will help you select your food and recommend some of my favourite tapas, but it is not a "fixed menu for tourists", as I want you to have as authentic a Spanish tapas experience as possible. I will explain the different foods and wines, and will also be happy to answer any questions you have about Sevilla.
The Gourmet Tapas Tour has been created for people who want to try the best of everything while they are in Sevilla. The tour lasts for four hours during which we will visit three (or more) of my favourite tapas bars/restaurants and sample the house specialities paired with fine wines, ending with a cocktail on one of Seville's rooftop bars (weather permitting).
The price for the Gourmet Tapas Tour is a guide fee of 135 euros for groups of 1-3 people, 165 euros for groups of 4-6 people (prices include 21% Spanish sales tax). On top of this the client pays for all food and drink ordered during the tour. A 10% gratuity at each establishment is customary.
The Sherry and Tapas tour is approximately 3 hours long (starting at either 1 pm or 8 pm) and the price per person includes four tapas each and dessert/cheese with 6-7 different sherries (50 ml servings).
Prices*
2 people: 90 euros each
3-4 people: 75 euros each
5 people: 65 euros each
6 people: 60 euros each
*Prices include taxes

Thank you for your response.it looks great, but a little pricey. We're retired and are trying to stay within a budget. We'll keep researching. Thank you and Happy Travels!
