Wonderful experience full of historical information but not too much that it gets overwhelming. The food choices were excellent.

Our guide Arantxa was amazing!! She had so much energy and did a great job shepherding the group! The food and drink selection was great, and it cultivated a social dynamic where I got to intermingle with the other tourees. I would recommend this to anyone who likes an interactive tour with good drink and food!!

Absolutely amazing!! Cassie made the experience a 10 star!! Great food, drinks, history and company. The time flew by. And it was nice walk between taverns. Each stop was unique and special. A ‘must do’ when in Madrid.

We had the best tour with Cassie. We would recommend this tour and Cassie to anyone. The tapas selection were local favorites and not touristy. She provided just enough history with friendly chit chat. 5 stars!!!

Great introductory tour to Madrid with fabulous tapas stops mixed with walking tour. Arantxa was great, a bit of humor and very informative.
