To start, the tour guide, Jose, was absolutely amazing. Friendly and knowledgeable and just great at engaging and entertaining our group. The food and the drinks were delicious! Every single item we ate and drank at all 4 locations are worth going back for. Highly recommend this tour! I would happily do it again!

We toured with Jose and a small group of 10 people for 4.5 hours and 4 stops. Plenty of food and drinks provided. Most of the tapas was very good. The history part was great and Jose was a wealth of info. We ended quite late (11pm) but the restaurants were packed at that time.

I'm sure its a nice tour but I am very disappointed in the organization. We couldn't find the group and tried contacting them. Instead I was directed to a non-live. chat. When I called La Vacanza Travel, all I got was an automatic messsage that there is no one to take my call. When I finally found the number of the organizer, they told me that it is too late and the tour was cancelled. Very disappointing and badly organized. We were there on time but found the street later than we expected as the taxi driver wasnt sure about the adress. You should mention that it is in a plaza and the meetup point is in connection to said plaza with many streets connected. There should be a direct line to call and ask for directions.

The tour guide never showed. We waited for over 30 mins and nothing. It took me another 30 mins on hold with the tour operator to start a refund. After 30 mins with the tour operator I was told that now I needed to call TripAdvisor to get my money back. Complete nightmare do not recommend it.
