Great experience overall. Florine was a fantastic guide—knowledgeable, organized, and easy to follow. The Prado museum portion was especially helpful with explanations. Would recommend!

Mateo was informative, kind and educating.
Borja was amazing. You will want him to tell you about the AMAZING Summer Wine!
What a great food experience - but make sure you go very hungry as there is a lot of food! I really enjoyed all of the food and drinks that were included. I’ve been on food tours in other cities and this was easily the most food that’s been included. I had Borja as my guide - he was as good as any tour guide I’ve had before. He was very personable and very knowledgeable. I probably got lucky as they had a last minute cancellation so I was the only person on the tour - it was like my own personal food tour. I really appreciate the fact that the tour operator still ran the tour with only one person.
Great food and the guide Mateo was fantastic
Great experience. Wonderful to experience the local foods of the area. Mateo was a great Guide, and we enjoyed the time we spent with him, and the other on the excursion.
