5.00Sam was absolutely amazing. This tour was the highlight of our trip. I just wish we did it earlier on, rather than the day before we left. Next time we’re in Madrid, we will sign up again!!

5.00This tour was a great start to our trip to Madrid. We were introduced to the history of the city and were able to try many typical tapas at different restaurants that we returned to during our trip. Asier was an excellent guide who provided a helpful overview of the history of Madrid, taught us helpful tips for identifying authentic places to eat, and created a fun and welcoming energy during our tour. Would absolutely recommend.
