Fantastic tour, mostly due to guide Sirsa! She provided a warm, educational, fun experience for everyone in our group. The food was amazing, the drinks were excellent, and the new friendships were an unexpected bonus!

I booked this tour because of its authentic and local nature, and I wasn’t disappointed. The places we went to were popular with locals and off the beaten track, and all the food was fantastic. Our guide, Alberto, provided great information and company. He is friendly, helpful and funny and I would’ve been happy to spend even more time with him. Don’t hesitate to book this tour!

Raul’s sense of humor and expertise. We really got to experience a vibrant part of Madrid, which we otherwise would have missed. The Spanish omelette was amazing!!

Our guide was amazing with great stories and history and great suggestions for after the tour. A very authentic experience with places you wouldn’t find on your own.

The guided tour was great. Our guide Raul was very competent. We were a small group of 4 people. This is also the minimum group size. So our tour was postponed by a day in consultation. This also worked out great. But now to the tour. We started with churros and chocolate in a real insider tip (we were back there the next day). Then in another bar we had pork belly, snails and mussels. We would probably never have ordered this in our lives. Then we went on to an authentic market. Cheese and sausage, with a beer. Then sangria and tortilla. Really great. I can recommend this tour to everyone. We had a lot of fun.

Our guide took us to a small locals' neighborhood where the best tapas are made. He was extremely knowledgable about each item we tasted and was able to tell us how it was made, ingredients, and some stories about how the tapas tradition evolved. The drinks included on each stop really helped the tour become a great party!

Excellent evening! Lovely neighborhood and perfect host, James. The neighborhood was fantastic and I loved that it was not in central Madrid. We saw an area we would not have otherwise experienced. The food was awesome and very well selected, the wine was perfect. James explained each place with detail but not overstated. It was just the right amount of information to go along with perfect tapas! Book the experience now - it was wonderful!

Just returned from two glorious weeks in Spain, including a sensational evening on this tour thanks to Lindsey, our smart, funny, friendly and highly-informative guide who made it so memorable. The food and drink are first rate and Lindsey gives you a real insider's view of the wine and tapas you are consuming. The "first" part of the tour is around three hours and well worth the money, but what takes it over the top is the "second" part of the tour, which in our case, meant accompanying Lindsey to a nearby drinking establishment to further the friendships that quickly formed in the first part of the tour. It will be one of those things we remember for a long time. Thanks Lindsey!
