Rosita was amazing. The food choices were excellent. Rosita ensured to make food accomodations for those with allergies or preferences. The history divulged was enlightening and much more fun to do as you encountered the various areas. I would absolutely book again, especially if I knew Rositwas the guide.

Great way to see Madrid! Learn some history and eat some of the best tapas! Our guide is an art historian and a real foodie. Positive really aimed to please and kept a very upbeat mood the entire time. She was a true pleasure and made the experience worth it!

Our tour guide, Samantha, was amazing. I would recommend this tour to anyone with a few days in Madrid and looking to get a good mix of history with food culture. We had some really nice people in our group of twelve, and it was also fun to learn about what brought them to Madrid.

Gabriella made this tour informative, entertaining, and fun! We enjoyed the information about the historical center of Spain. The tapas were delicious, and the taverns were excellent. We enjoyed one tavern so much that we returned for “la cena” on the next evening! We liked the “all inclusive” pricing with this tour. All food and drinks were included in the base price.
