Tapas night experience.
We met our guide at the designated location and everyone was on time and easy to find. The tapas tour was amazing with incredible food. Our guide was very personable and polite. She showed us many different and interesting places as well as the history of them. We definitely had a great time and left full and pleased with the experience.

Tapas like a local
Our guide Miriam made our tour so interesting and informative. We loved hearing her many anecdoatal stories about Madrid, and we thoroughly enjoyed visiting some authentic local bars that we would otherwise never have found. We would highly recommend this tour for a small group of friends who want to see local life in Madrid.

Madrid tour
This was one of the best experiences we had in Madrid! We’ve been to the city a few times before, but this private tour was definitely a highlight. Marta, our guide, was super knowledgeable about Madrid's food scene and took us to some incredible spots we never would have found on our own. Great drinks, food, and conversation!

Lots of fun and lots of tapas
Such an unforgettable experience in Madrid! It was our first time doing a private food tour, and I’m so glad we did. Sara, our guide, was wonderful—she took us to some classic taverns that were off the beaten path. We tried vermouth like the locals do, and the tapas were to die for. Worth every penny!

Madrid experience
What a great experience we had in Madrid! It was our 3rd time in Madrid and we decided to do this private experience. My wife and I love vermouth and our guide, Julio, took us to several typical taverns, talked about gastronomy and in short, showed us really authentic places.
