Tina was a wonderful guide for our tapas and city tour. She has quite a personality and explained the city and tapas we sampled very well. She was a delight and was well versed in all things in Spain, she’s a native of Argentina and spoke great English. We would highly recommend Tina.

We were truly impressed by Adolfo’s deep knowledge—not only about the best spots for tapas, but also the rich history of Madrid. He shared fascinating and unexpected stories about the city and the places we visited, which added so much depth to the experience. This tour was worth every penny—not just for the incredible value, but for the unforgettable memories we made. We feel so lucky to have booked this tapas tour with such a passionate and knowledgeable guide. The tapas were absolutely delicious, and the sweet treats at the end were the perfect finishing touch. Thank you again, Adolfo, for a memorable and enriching experience!

We visited several local restaurants/bars. Our host was easy to find and delightful. The tour company sent his photo via WhatsApp so he wasn’t hard to find. We enjoyed walking and tasting. The four of us shared a few plates and had a wine and beer.
