5.00Adolfo is the best!!! Cool, calm and collected—he guided us through a busy night in Madrid swooping us into restaurants with long lines of people to prearranged bites of classic Madrid foods in beautifully brick lined alcoves underground. We discovered new favorites that we never would have tried on our own. We had a great mixed group that enjoyed great conversation, it was the perfect combination.
Excellent choice
