1.00I am very disappointed in the lack of integrity by Rebecca the tour guide you know not to even go outside Starbucks and check if I'm there it's very very shocking and appalling. She literally know it's disgusting. Extremely poor customer service and lack of etiquette.The tour guide did NOT show up

5.00We had a fabulous food tour with our tour guide Rebeca. Not only did we experience the food delights of Spain / Madrid, we had a running history tour of some of Madrid's historical food and cultural landmarks. Rebeca was not only knowledgeable, she was engaging, personable and a true advocate of her culture and city. Thank you Rebeca.
