5.00Jo was a great host. Our family thoroughly enjoyed the night, despite the rainy weather! Not a fan of the calamari sandwich, but it was a requirement to try.

5.00Jorge is very knowledgeable about the history of Madrid, and brought us to restaurants where locals also frequent. The food was very tasty and delicious. Definitely recommend Jorge as your food tour guide guy.

5.00FANTASTIC EXPERIENCE!!!! We were a group of 7 plus our amazing guide, Jorge. Jorge was funny, engaging, incredibly knowledgeable and made sure each one of us felt welcome and part of the group. I didn´t have breakfast the morning of the tour as I knew we would eat lots and I still left the tour incredibly full, I´m not having dinner tonight, each single stop was fantastically curated and can´t think of a single thing I tried that I didn´t love. By the end of the tour Jorge asked each one of us which was our favorite stop in the tour and I couldn´t answer as I really couldn´t decide!. I happen to be Spanish and I spent years and years in Madrid, but I still learned soooo much about this city that I thought I knew quite well. Whenever I´m back in Madrid I´ll make sure to do this tour again with friends/family as it´s more than worth it, in no small measure thanks to Jorge!!!
Book it!!!

5.00Jorge was excellent. He kept us well fed, shared lots of pieces of Madrid's history, and was very entertaining. He has obviously built up relationships with the vendors over the years, which you benefit from with great service and skipping the line. Do not miss this activity!
Excellent way to see (and eat) your way through Madrid

5.00This is a fantastic way to get a glimpse and taste of what Madrid has to offer. Our guide Jorge was excellent, not only did he keep us well fed, but also shared many bits of information about Madrid’s past and present. He has obviously developed relationships with the owners over the years, and you benefit from that with expedited service and bites. A must do during your stay to the capital!
Wonderful Madrid food tour
