Great Tapas Tour - I can't say enough about this tour with Carmen! It was the best way to start our trip to Madrid! We had a wonderful time learning about the city and its cuisine. We visited various places where we tried some typical Spanish dishes such as garlic prawns, patatas bravas, mushrooms, and of course, churros with chocolate. It's worth booking while you're in Madrid!

Interesting tour - It was a very fun tour, and Carmen made the whole experience very enjoyable. She took us to great places you wouldn't normally find on your own. And she knew most of the city inside out. I would recommend it to anyone visiting Madrid, but book it early in your trip. The guide, besides taking you to the restaurants you'll be going to that night, will give you more information about other bars to go to after the tour. I highly recommend it.

We finished at a chocolate shop, enjoying delicious hot chocolate paired with churros.

Grand premiere in Madrid - Fantastic tapas tour. Carmen, our guide, was charming and patient. We went to several places to try their tapas and drinks, and everything was delicious. We ended up at a chocolate shop where we tried hot chocolate with churros. Everything was delicious. Carmen also knows a lot about the history of Madrid and Spain. She gives lots of tips on restaurants and activities to do after the tapas tour. I honestly think it's a very complete tour. I recommend doing it on the first day of your stay in Madrid, as you'll learn and discover even more about the city.

Best Food & Cultural Tour Period! - This food and cultural tour was phenomenal! Carmen was one of the greatest guides we’ve had the pleasure of meeting and touring with. She was knowledgeable, kind and full of energy - if you’re into a truly local experience, you’ve found the right tour. We had incredible local food at three different places she took us too that we want back to three times after (chorizo, the best mushrooms and churros we’ve ever had) - everyone knew her and as her guests we got incredible service. We ran into the King & Queen of Spain (not a part of the tour) but walking with Carmen and learning about Madrid - this almost felt planned. Thanks Carmen for an incredible experience. I would highly recommend this tour to everyone!

Fantastic Tapas Tour in Downtown Madrid - We tried different types of food. We tried "tinto de verano," a drink that Spaniards typically drink in the summer. We learned about the history of Madrid and Spain. Overall, it exceeded my expectations. Carmen was knowledgeable and charming. She was very attentive and gave us many suggestions for after our tour. I highly recommend it.
