Wonderful food and drink variety with an entertaining and knowledgeable host, Rocia. The restaurant selection was wonderful, most of which were in historic buildings with awesome woodwork and lead windows. And you meet such fun people

This was such a wonderful food tour. Our guide, Noemi, was knowledgeable about food and the history of Madrid. The food and drinks were a great variety and we had a good sampling of the food Madrid has to offer. I loved that we went to smaller, family owned establishments that were not the typical places tourists go. I would definitely recommend this food tour.

Really enjoyed the food and wine tour. We visited several well established restaurants and the food and drinks were delicious. Noemi was our guide and she was excellent. She provided a lot of useful information and recommendations.

Eva is a very knowledgeable guide, she took the group to some of the oldest restaurants in Madrid and got us delicious tapas and tasty wines. My favorites were the fried squid and patatas bravas, but there were also shrimps, mussels, croquettes and several other dishes to enjoy.

Amazing food tour (and we usually do this in every country we visit). The portions were great and you could really taste enough of everything. Plus a drink pairing of your choice with every stop! The selections and restaurants we visited were amazing (we are definitely going back to them) and our tour guide Noemi was a sweetheart and very knowledgeable (she is from Madrid). Would 100% recommend this food tour to anyone who enjoys the experience of trying local foods from real locals.

We went on this tour on a recommendation from friends. It did not disappoint our guide Ava was very knowledgeable and super friendly. We really enjoy the different tapas bars, the food and local wines were very tasty. The garlic prawns and croquets were our favorite. The opportunity to enjoy the flavours of Madrid was most enjoyable

The tour started on time but none of the restaurants seemed to know we were coming. We had to stand around at the first two restaurants which made it difficult to get to the tastings. The third restaurant was a bit better but the food was scarce. The fourth restaurant we also had a table but it was by the toilet so we could smell the lavatories and had to listen to people going to the toilet. None of the food offered was particularly interesting or tasty. Our guide spent much of her time trying to get us food and drinks. Quite possibly the worst food tour we have ever been on. Learnt very little.
