We had a delightful Madrid food tour with Jorge. The amount of time and food and drink was perfect, and the entirely local food choices were delicious and interesting. Jorge, himself a madrileño, did a wonderful job of infusing the tour with his passion for his city and knowledge of its history and culinary traditions. He did a great job with our 10 and 11-year old boys, and they also really enjoyed the tour. 5+ stars. We’d recommend this tour to anyone.
