I am sure I will repeat - Leticia was a great guide. She took us to several places in where we enjoy the tapas, the wine (especially the fruited white wine at Lacón) and her explanations.

Everything was exceptional - Noemí was amazing. This was by far the highlight of our trip. Every place she took us to was amazing, the food was incredible and the wine was delicious. I honestly can’t believe how much food we ate for the price (we did another food tour in Paris for double the price and a lot less food). We also had the fortune to have an amazing group of fellow ‘tour mates’ who made the experience even better. I highly recommend this tour.

This is a great time. - This was a fantastic introduction to tapas. The variety of wines were able to taste was terrific. I recommend doing this on your first day in Madrid so that you can go back and visit these restaurants again. Sergio did a terrific job as our tour guide and host. Explaining all the wines and the food we were going to eat in great detail.

An experiment - the evening was very nice and the fact of not knowing anyone gave us very good exchanges between us. The first visit scared me a little because I didn't like the tapas bar because it was very small and the service was not pleasant, the wine was very bad. We felt like we weren't respectable customers. The other stops were much better and much better served. Fortunately! Our guide nothing to say, very nice. In conclusion, a little expensive anyway.

Tapas international - The tour itself is nice, food ok. Tapas is kinda claustrophobic lots of folks squeezed in . Not for u if u don’t like crowds. Tour guide great. I had issues with office/tour company so not at all a fan. On an up note our group had the most lovely mix of personalities. The highlight for me. The vermouth was interesting recommend trying it anywhere in spain:).
