EJ made this an amazing tour- one of the best food tours we have experienced. We do one in every city so probably have at least 10 under our belt. She was informative friendly and knew her stuff with respect to the food. Also I really liked her food and drink choices.
Good food experience and Mateo is passionate and cordial with a very professional delivery as he was guiding a group of about 8 of us. When I come back with my wife, we are going to book with him again!
Would have given it a 5/5, but in several restaurants we were put at a table too small for our group. We were shoved in too tightly and some of the group were in chairs not even in front of the table!
Mateo was an informative and friendly guide with lots of local knowledge
Brilliant way to spend an evening in Madrid sampling authentic tapas and drinks. Our guide Mateo was warm, knowledgeable and the perfect host, making sure a diverse party got to know him, each other and the real taste of Madrid. Don’t hesitate. Book it.
Andrea, Andrea, Andrea! He is the best. So knowledgeable and I would request him over and over again. Amazing Day!
Andrea was great - knowledgeable, entertaining and enthusiastic. I would highly recommend.
We had Andrea and he was very knowledgeable and energetic. The food was excellent and it was like a tour of Spain.
Great way to see some local places
Mateo was the perfect guide. Very knowledgeable about the history and also laid back. It was a pleasure to walk the Madrid historic district with him. All the food stops were perfectly timed and delicious!
