Our guide, Liliana was terrific, very knowledgeable, friendly, helpful, and informative. We did small group tapas and wine bar tour in Madrid and enjoyed it immensely. Would definitely recommend.

This was one of our favorite things we did in Madrid so far! Carolyn was our guide. She was engaging, informative and fun. She knew loads about her city, the history, the food and the wine. We had a mixed group, my family, solo travelers and a girls group and we all mingle together and had so much fun! Totally worth it

A fun way to sample tapas we might not have tried otherwise while learning about history. Our tour guide Flo was fun and knowledgeable. She did a great job of creating connections among the group. Come with an adventurous pallette.

David conducted a wonderful tour of historic Madrid, while introducing us newbies to tapas culture. The group consisted of 8 people from different ages, although all US citizens. We then engaged in a leisurely walking tour of historic Madrid, with stops for tapas at four thoughtfully selected taverns and restaurants. David shared interesting stories and information about the history of Madrid, the background of each tavern and restaurant, and insights into Madrilenian lifestyle. Not inexpensive, but certainly worth it.
