5.00We are a group of 8 friends. We booked a private tapas tour and Carmen was our tour guide. She is very energetic and told us a lot of background stories about food, Madrid and Spain. We fully enjoyed our tour. Highly recommend a private tour.

5.00My friends and I booked a private tapas tour of Madrid last Friday. It was our third day in Madrid, and it was raining, but the experience was well worth it. Our guide took us to several restaurants in the historic center where we sampled delicious food and drinks. I highly recommend this tour if it's your first time in Madrid because it's a very comprehensive tour where you learn about the local cuisine and its history.
Tasty and fun

5.00Very nice experience. Carmen is an enthusiastic guide who gives a lot of tips for Madrid during the tour. The stops are always well chosen and not the typical “tourist traps”.

5.00I booked this private tapas tour for my co-workers coming to Madrid for a convention that took place that morning. Everything went perfectly. All my colleagues (from different countries) went on tour very happy and knowing more about Madrid. The guide, Carmen, was very nice and patient. He took us to several tapas bars where we tasted his specialties, such as garlic prawns, cod croquettes, mushrooms etc, and of course chocolate with churros. It was a memorable night. I recommend this tour if you want to take your guests for tapas and want them to leave happy. WONDERFUL TAPAS TOUR

5.00Carmen was a fantastic tour guide. She combined information about Spanish history, Madrid surroundings, and food and wine seamlessly into the tour. She allowed us to ask questions and provided thoughtful, comprehensive answers. The food and drink we sampled was delicious! And as we took our tour early in our stay in Madrid, she offered several recommendations for restaurants for us to try later in our trip. I would highly recommend Carmen and this tour!
Carmen is great
