Tapas walk worth it - This tour is a must do to really get the feel of a Madrid morning of tapas. We went to a few of the city’s most classic spots trying different tapas and drinks at each. Carmen our guide was great, she gave us a mix of history and fun stories that made the tour even better. All in all, it was engaging and very enjoyable.

Excellent tour! - We had an excellent tour. I liked everything: the tapas, the drinks, the company (small group) of four people, which made the tour more intimate. The guide was also a 10/10.

A pleasant morning of tapas in Madrid. - An incredible tour with Carmen! The food was amazing, a great opportunity to try some of Madrid's typical dishes. The drink options were also excellent, with wine, tinto de verano (the local drink), and Madrid beer. A great group tour with people from all over the world!.

Tapas Tour - We took the tour with lunch. We were supposed to be four people, but two didn't show up, so we took a private tour for two. Our guide took us to three places we probably wouldn't have visited on our own, but they were incredibly enjoyable. We had a great guide, good food, and good drinks. In short, I highly recommend this tour.

The best walking tour for food and history - Carmen was outstanding. Very engaging and full of information of the city of Madrid and Spain in general. She pointed out the specialties of local food stops (this one is great for garlic prawns, this one for stuffed mushrooms and on and on). She took us at a comfortable pace and we never felt rushed. We had three stops and tried lots of food and had plenty to drink. We were all very full by the time the tour was over. At the end she took us to a convent to tell us about the nuns and the pastries they make so we could go back when the convent opened. We all had a wonderful time and it was a highlight of our stay in Madrid. Thank you Carmen.

Perfect way to experience!!! - We took the dinner tour. It was the perfect way to experience the nightlife. We ate, drank, and saw parts of Madrid. Our guide, Carmen, is great; her personality makes the tour even more enjoyable. It was a great way to get to know the food and the city for a few hours. The food and drinks were fantastic. It's very well thought out. Carmen makes it fun and safe.
