Perfect experience! Austin was amazing-very knowledgeable & the food was outstanding! We would definitely do this tour again!
It was an excellent tour with Luis, the food and drinks was great. The places he brought us to were also superb and Luis was a great guide explaining many of the locations and history behind the places we visited. We spend the right amount of time at each stop. Its highly recommended!!
This was a very fun tour! Lots of walking, but it didn’t feel rushed. There was plenty to eat and drink at each stop. Would recommend to any visitors!
An interesting and delicious little tour. There was a large number of people signed up so they split everyone into two groups which worked out great. A nice variety of tapas restaurants were visited. A fun way to see a portion of the city.
What a wonderful tour! Our guide Luis was fantastic, so friendly and relaxed and hugely knowledgeable about Spanish food and history. We enjoyed every minute and the delicious food and wine, sangria, cava and vermut. Really good pace, not lots of walking, and plenty of stops to take rest. Lots of flexibility to cater for different allergies, food preferences and drinks preferences. We had a great little group with a very nice and fun American couple. The tour ends in a perfect way with drinks at a lovely rooftop bar. All in all a great introduction to the beautiful cuisine, culture and history of Spain.
Luis was amazing! 1000% recommend.
