Guide was amazing, very knowledgeable and fun. The tapas spots were incredible and would never have found myself. I went back to the restaurant alone a couple times! One tip: don't schedule it on a Sunday, as some of the standard places they would've taken us on another day were closed, so we had a bit less to visit than normal. The guide did show us the other places so we could visit another time by ourselves, so he did everything he could for us. But still, food and drinks were included, so 2 places less did make a difference in my opinion. So request for the organization: let people know about this (Sunday thing), because we were very flexible in our schedule and would've probably rescheduled if we had known about this in advance.
