When visiting a European city, we always like to do a food tour. It helps us to enjoy the food, understand the culture, visit establishments we wouldn’t normally go to, plus we find it’s a great way to explore a city. We and a couple of friends met Carmen and our small group, (an ideal size for such a busy city,) was completed by a mother and daughter from Chicago. Carmen was really welcoming and friendly, very interesting and full of useful information about Madrid and Spain. We enjoyed a wonderful tour and Carmen took us to some amazing places with great food and drinks. This was one of the best food tours we’ve ever been on, and we would highly recommend Carmen and this tour to anyone visiting the city of Madrid.
