Maria (Joe) was an amazing tour guide. She gave us the history of Spain while taking us to great restaurants for delicious tapas and plenty to drink. Family friendly, but also a tour for friends, couples, and solo travelers. Thanks, Joe, for an excellent food tour.

This was the best tour we've ever been on, and we've been on quite a few! It was so well organized and yet our guide Jorge made it seem so personable with so much energy and excitement. The food was absolutely delicious and included places we would have never discovered on our own as we had only a few days in Madrid. We were a family with two younger kids and it was perfect for them too. Having a local guide made all the difference in giving us a taste of the food and culture in Madrid.
