Aromas e Flamenco em Madrid Experience + Exclusive Bar

We loved our flamenco, tapas, and bar crawl tour! Our guides were very friendly and the experiences were awesome at a reasonable price.

The best companies solve problems as they arise. My problem was solved quickly, easily and was followed through until a solution was found.

Did the Madrid Free walking tour in the afternoon as soon as I got into Madrid. Found Sylvia in Sol square easily. They need a minimum of 3 people and luckily we managed that number. Sylvia is an excellent guide, she communicated with us in both English and Spanish and told us a bit about the history of Madrid, took us walking around the central area and ended at the Egyptian Temple. Walking was easy with frequent photo stops. You are free to tip anything or nothing at the end of the trip. I enjoyed the free tour a lot so booked the Flamenco and Flavours tour 2 days later. There are no veggie food options on the tour so I had my dinner before joining the tour around 8.30pm. Again it was a nice small group of 4 people and we started the evening with delicious Churros dipped in chocolate, then we walked to a local pub for Madrono shots in chocolate cups, I did not like the taste much. We also had a glass of wine or beer with a tapa, just olives for me. Then walked past the beautifully lit Palace to the Flamenco show at Las Tablas at 10pm. You can buy drinks here if you want. The show is about an hour long and really good, enjoyed the dancing and music. We were then given an option of joining the pub crawl for free, our guide escorted us to the pub. Sylvia was the guide for the pub crawl and this is where she really shines, she is great fun. It was a large group this time and we visited 4-5 places, you could keep going as long as you wanted. People who left would just tell Sylvia and she would give them directions to go home. All the places were in the Sol general area. Felt very safe being with the group, would not have ventured out alone otherwise. Was great that we did not have to pay any entry fees at the pubs and clubs and one free shot at each place. You could buy more drinks at reasonable prices. All places had good music and a very nice vibe, lots of happy but not rowdy drunk people so it felt fun but safe. Sylvia would blow her loud whistle to get people moving from one club to the next, in between she would count us to make sure nobody got left behind. The whole thing cost just E28 which was a bargain, normally just the flamenco would cost more than that. Highly recommend it for a great night out.

<p>Very unprofessional tour. When we arrived at the flamengo show we were asked to move from our seats where we could see and move to the very back row where it was impossible to see the stage. After the show the guide was stuck in her phone and got us lost in a shady part of town and club was a dive.</p>

<p>This was the way to see the fun festive side of Madrid. It was a great late night adventure. It started with a little history and culture, followed with some fun hidden stops was so much history that we never would've found on her own. The flamenco dancing was incredible… And then to be able to party like a local from bar to bar was amazing! We were out celebrating our 20th anniversary… And we were able to feel like we did it with all of the locals in the best way possible!</p>
