Excelente tour. Una buena oportunidad para conocer los principales lugares del centro de Madrid, mientras pruebas las tapas mas típicas de Madrid. Carmen, la guía, sabe mucho acerca de la ciudad y da un excelente explicación de cada tapa y lugar por el que va el tour.

Our guide, Carmen, was absolutely wonderful! She took us to 3 restaurants where we tried their specialty dish (which were all delicious!). Our final stop was churros and chocolate & it was a great way to end the night. Carmen also went above and beyond by pointing out other great restaurants along our tour that we could visit during the rest of our stay. Highly recommend this tour & book it at the beginning of your stay in Madrid!

Doing a tapas tour is really fun to get to know the city. You’ll visit the less touristic places with some of the best tapas. In the meanwhile you’ll learn more about the city. We were just with the two of us and the tour guide, which was fun, but the previous time when we did this in Barcelona we were with a big group and ended up going drinking with everyone. Highly recommend to do this!
