Cassie was great. She knew so much about Madrid’s history and the great food available here. She selected restaurants that had the perfect pairing of tapas and drinks.

Great trip with Mariano. Good mix of walking and eating, and a range of different tapas to try. Small group which made it very personal experience.

Cassie did an amazing tour which we all hugely enjoyed. She really made sure everyone was really looked after. The food, drinks and company were great and it was a really nice way to spend the afternoon getting into the culture of Madrid. Highly recommend it.

Gabriella was an instant delight! She really knows her history and brought a ton of fun to this already awesome food and beverage tour. Each place we went was steeped in culture and history, and the establishments that hosted us were kind and very generous. Delicious food and interesting drinks you can only get here in Spain! I was the only solo participant in the group, and Gabriella made me feel 100% included and was even able to answer questions I had about other culture's history in the region. I highly recommend this activity!
