Educated and a full stomach in 2 hours! - Jose our guide was fantastic. He spoke perfect English, was super knowledgable and took us to many delicious venues. This felt authentic and our knowledge of food culture in Madrid was enhanced and our stomachs full! Highly recommended but don’t eat before you start the tour!

An interesting tour - We had a great time. We were a group of 5( we were a couple and a family of three). It was a very pleasant tour, the best part of our tour was our guide. I am horrible with names but it may have been Jose. He spoke English and Spanish and had a vast knowledge of the history behind the many buildings, statutes and fountains.He was great.

Unbeatable Combination! - Roger was a fantastic guide. Not only did we experience Spanish food, we learned about history though the lens of food. It was the perfect combinations of sweet and savory food with a tour of local streets and venue options. We highly recommend this tour!

Unforgettable - Amazing tour, amazing guide, amazing city, amazing food, amazing price...just amazing. I visited San Miguel Market, where the guide helped me navigate and offered a wonderful pincho with Iberian ham and cheese... delicious! Then we made another stop where we had tastings and learned a lot about the local cuisine. After that, we continued with a lot of information about the city and more delicious food. It's amazing how much you'll eat for such a low cost. A must-do on the first day

All around great experience - Sandra was amazingly knowledgeable, adjusting the experience on the go based on our preferences. After the tour, she also texted us multiple recommendations for additional places we should try outside the tour to experience genuine local flavors.

Different - San Miguel Market was the best part. Guides gave advice of other places to visit. Chocolate store visit was very good but not the churros. Not a lot of food tasting. Sandwich, chocolate, churros, calamari sandwich and cheese sample. Wish the churros could be replaced with meat tasting. History was given very well by guide.

Fun but pay attention to the weather because you will be outside most of the time. - The San Miguel Market is really fun. It's colorful with lots to see and eat. Tapas can be quite attractive. We also went to the Plaza Mayor to finish some calamari. Unfortunately for us it was a 45F cold, windy day and we sat outside without any cover or wall to break the wind. Nice guide who spoke good English. The food was good and the information was fun, but we were uncomfortably cold.
