...We really enjoyed our evening tapas tour led by the affable and articulate Aldara. (...) We went to places we would have never found on our own, including a bar devoted to the celebration of holy week. Aldara explained countless details of daily life and cuisine. [Full review]
...Our guide for the evening was Aldara and she was terrific. She grew up in Seville and offered great conversation and insights - it was more like a dinner party with an excellent host than a tour group. Lovely evening! [Full review]
...Our guide, Aldara Arias de Saavedra, was simply AMAZING! A native of Seville, she not only speaks but comprehends English like a native. Her knowledge of both the culinary and cultural history of Seville made every bite we took, every tapa we ate, that much more meaningful as we came to understand the evolution of the food, and not merely its ingredients.

...This was a memorable tour. Two people led by the gracious and intelligent Aldara. I find myself thinking about our evening in Seville even though it was months ago because the tour was unique and gave a behind the scenes perspective into the non-tourista Seville. Aldara was an amazing tour guide. She knew the food, the taverns, and the people in them. She was generous in sharing her extensive knowledge of the history of the community, of Seville, and of Spain. This was a tour to remember. [Full review]
...Our tour guide was Aldara and she was outstanding!!! She took us to amazing locations that we would never have found on our own, and ordered absolutely wonderful tapas and drinks, that we also would likely never have ordered on our own. She was so helpful with general questions, was so knowledgable about the Sevillian history and culinary world and was just such a wonderful person to spend our evening with! [Full review]

...Aldara was a great guide and took us to bars away from the main tourist route where we tried tapas we didn't even know existed. We learned about the culture of Seville found quiet interesting alleys and finished at a rooftop bar overlooking the cathedral. [Full review]
...Had a wonderful time with Aldara and the rest of our companions on the traditional Seville tapas tour where we not only left with filled tummies but also with recommendations to last us our entire 4 day stay in this splendid city! A MUST on the first night you reach Seville, especially if you do not understand espanyol, as Aldara helped to break down the various Andalucian dishes in english for us such that we never felt lost in any tapas bar thereafter. [Full review]
...Aldara was our guide for 3 hours of fabulous food, sherry and conversation. The success of these events is all in the guide, and she really made the evening memorable and a lot of fun. A great night, in a great city. [Full review]
...Es macht wirklich einen riesen Unterschied ob man alleine auf der Suche nach Tapas ist oder einen tollen Guide wie Aldara dabei hat. Sie zeigte uns nicht nur zwei tolle Tapas Lokale sondern brachte uns auch noch Highlights der Stadt näher. Nebenbei stellten wir fest dass Aldara auch noch ausgezeichnet Deutsch spricht und die Tour daher auch auf Deutsch anbietet. Wir können es nur wärmstens empfehlen. [Full review]

...I had a great tour with Aldara. She explained a lot about not only the food and restaurants we visited, but also life and customs in Seville. I'm no stranger to tapas or Spain, and I learned a ton. I'm not usually a tour goer, but this felt more like a fun night out. [Full review]
...There were so many highlights, but one of the best was our delightful tapas tour guide Aldara. She not only introduced us to some of the best tapas food in the region, she shared some wonderful and interesting historical stories as we walked through the winding cobbled streets of this most charming city. Add to that, she was so gracious we felt like she was part of our family within minutes of our meeting. [Full review]
...We had the pleasure of being guided around by Aldara on the lunchtime tour. It was simply brilliant and can not recommend it enough. The places we visited gave a great variety and allowed us to make better food choices for the remaining time in Seville. Aldara's knowledge about the city and food was astounding... She also seemed to know more about UK history than we did!! [Full review]
...Aldara was our guide on the Flamenco & Tapas tour and she was an absolute superstar! Her knowledge of Seville was amazing, she was very engaging, great fun and showed us around the narrow alleyways of Seville on the way to the tapas bar (without her we would have got well and truly lost!) At the end of the tour Aldara took us to a fantastic rooftop bar next to the Cathedral which was an added bonus and ended the evening in style! [Full review]
...What a fabulous way to spend an evening in Seville! Aldara was really knowledgable- not only about the food, but about Seville and it's history. Her passion for seville was contagious and we appreciated not only her tips on how to beat the queues at the tourist spots, but where to get the best pudding after the tour!
...Aldara had that knack of making you feel like you have known her for years and we immediately relaxed into her charming company. It was an education in food, local culture, history and so much more. I cannot enthuse enough about what a brilliant thing this is to do on a first night in Seville. The next day you will take to the city's colourful food scene with the confidence of a local. Aldara followed up with an email about all the plates and wines we had eaten. A Brilliant night absolutely faultless. [Full review]

...We consider ourselves fortunate to have had the pleasure of joining the wonderful Aldara (...) Born and bred in Seville, but with the European experience of having studied in Berlin and Milan, she not only exposed us to some taverns and drinks that we might not otherwise have experienced, but she was also knowledgeable about her city, the history and culture of Sevilla and we loved her company as we discussed things way beyond the 'confines' of any pre-ordained tour. She made us feel at ease with her within minutes of meeting her and we all later agreed that we had each felt sad as we finally said goodbye some four hours later. A wonderful, enthusiastic guide, who you would be lucky to spend some time with. The boys particularly enjoyed chatting to her, saying that it was less like a tour and more a night out with a friend's friend. [Full review]
...We were so lucky and blessed to have Aldara as our tour guide. This experience was nothing less than spectacular. Aldara spent 3 and 1/2 hours with us. She wined and dined us, laughed with us, shared stories and provided history lessons that only a true life long Seville resident could. As magical and memorable an evening as it could be, At the end, she walked us to our taxi and we exchanged hugs. We felt more like friends than clients...as it should be. Thank you Aldara!

...Aldara was the perfect guide for my trip! Since it was the holiday season, my tour wound up just being her & me, which was a pleasant surprise! I traveled to Seville alone for a few days to experience the culinary scene. Aldara took me to a handful of the most exquisite and creative tapas restaurants in Seville. She was beyond informative, personable, and even more importantly, Aldara had personal relationships with each restaurant -- from chefs to the waiters. Her familiarity with the staff made for an unbelievably intimate and special dining experience at each stop. All of the restaurants we visited were within reasonable walking distance and had varying menus that were steep in culinary imagination. I would definitely suggest this and any tour with Aldara. Can't wait to return! [Full review]
