Great LGBT Tapas Experience - The tour guide was really knowledgable and did a great job at explaining tapas culture and the LGBT bars in the neighbourhood. A great tour for solo travelers looking to meet people or a group of friends.

Beyond expectations - It was a great experience to get to know some of the hottest tapas places in vibrant Madrid. We started tasting some tapas and wines from different Spanish regions and we ended up having a typical Spanish dinner in a restaurant in Chueca. The whole team made it extremely special and it was of great fun with the rest of participants. Super recommendable to know better the Spanish culture and beautiful Madrid.

Fabulous Experience - A great experience that surpassed our expectations! We were stuffed. We truly appreciated the in-depth knowledge of food, wine and history from Isaac as we walked and ate. He also took us to a diverse group of places, from a market to restaurants and a bar. Highly recommend!

Chueca-town - Really good choices of bars and restaurants. Our guide Isaac took us on his journey of Madrid through the years, allowing us to experience the city in the eyes of a local, in the know. By the time we got to the last stop on the tour, we were well fed, but had room for that Galician Witches’ Brew- Queimada!!
Highly recommended to get to know Spanish tapas and the iconic Chueca neighborhood!
