We had an amazing historical food tour with the best host and tour guide, Daniel. Not only did he have a wonderful understanding of the local food customs, but his relationships with the locals greatly enhanced the tour. My wife even got to pull a piglet from the brick oven! His knowledge of the history of Spain enriched our experience all along the way. What a great way to learn about Madrid!

This food tour is interesting and fun, with a very lively and knowledgeable guide. We had the opportunity to try a lot of different foods and drinks at several locations. In my experience, there is a lot of bad food in Spain, so it was nice to be shown some of the better choices.

It was a fantastic evening with Daniel exploring Madrid and tasting all the amazing food! Daniel is a native, and he lit up, sharing the culture and historical background throughout the tour. It was not only a food tour but an experience. He was very attentive to people in our group who had food allergies, and they were able to enjoy all the stops, for he already had call-ahead options for them. This tour is a must-do!

Tour was led by Brian, who was from Madrid, but had lived in the US. Met up in a disappointingly cold wet Plaza Isabella, but things warned up at our first restaurant. Good range of Tapas and some good wine to accompany. Short walks between venues, and a good insight into Madrid by our guide. Super iberico meat tasting, finally ending up have Churros and hot Spanish chocolate. Despite the weather, which did improve, a good evening out.
