5.00Secret food tours are always a lot of fun. Jorge continued this tradition with an enchanting trip through the downtown area of Madrid. We sampled lots of goodies more than we ever thought we could eat at lunchtime, and several wonderful beverages. We have been on food tours where you get a little nibble, but this one was really the real deal. Each portion was overly generous and filling. Jorge had lots of interesting facts about Madrid and some of the buildings that we passed And we had a wonderful time. Meeting new people from all over the world and enjoying an afternoon with Jorge and guests.
Joe was a great tour...
