A wonderful evening with Taylor! - Taylor was fantastic. Great historical info woven into amazing food and drinks. My husband and I continue to refer to her funny but true tips on how to spot a bad restaurant in Spain lol. Our small group quickly grew close and it was a pleasure to spend the evening with them. Highly recommend!

Great intro to Madrid - This was a really fun tour that was a mix of the history of Madrid and its food—which is often overlapping. Cassie was an amazing tour guide, and we learned (and ate) a ton!

Great evening Madrid walking and eating tour - David B did a fantastic job guiding our group of 10 to some major sights and three eating/wine establishments. He is extremely knowledgeable and spent the right amount of time on the history of Madrid between hitting 3 excellent taverns for tapas and drinks. At the last restaurant we sat at a quiet table upstairs which was terrific after being on our feet for 2 hours. I would strongly recommend him and this tour.
