Fun and Delicious Tapas Tour - My wife and I enjoyed a fun and delicious tapas tour on a recent visit to Madrid. Our tour guide, Patricia, made great choices in the restaurants we visited to sample the various foods and wines of Spain. She shared fun information about the city, and followed up after the tour with an email that contained recipes and more restaurant recommendations. I highly recommend this tour, and Patricia as a guide!

A fun fabulous night and Patricia is a star - We had an amazing tour with Patricia. She was a fabulous guide, a lot of fun, very informative and did such a great job of choosing venues. We went to 5 different locations and when asked to pick a favorite the four of us all chose a different spot - that speaks to how great it all was. This is a fantastic tour and we would highly recommend it to family and friends.

Definitely recommend this experience - We absolutely loved our Madrid Tapas Adventure. Our guide Aafke was incredibly knowledgeable and easygoing. This allowed us to fully enjoy the experience, while learning lots! Delicious food and drinks – shrimp and mushroom dishes were standouts for us. Aafke made an extra effort to show us other sights of Madrid that we asked about. Thank you Aafke for a lovely evening!

A must do foodie tour of Madrid. - Great tour. Got to try some local food that was fantastic. From mushrooms to tortilla, ham, prawns all done the local way. Also some refreshing drinks along the way. Aafke was an excellent guide with a wealth of knowledge of both the history and food in Madrid.
