Meeting Javier and starting this tour was the perfect way to start our first visit to Madrid!! Javier was unbelievably thoughtful, entertaining, and knowledgeable. He enjoyed our questions and had marvelous answers. The places we ate were all hidden gems we would not have discovered on our own!!

Sergio was pleasant, informative and fluent in English. The food and drinks were different than I expected. Some were to my liking but not all.
