What a fantastic experience! Javier took our group of assorted tourists (couples, our family group, and a stag party) and by the end of stop 1 we were all friends. We ate well, drank with pleasure, and went back to our flat very happy.
Amazing tour and an even better guide. Nana was funny and engaging and full of fun facts. Lots of variety and also great at navigating a crowded city with a group which matters a lot.
