The tour was excellent and Arantxa's local knowledge was first rate! We're looking forward to revisiting all the spots. 10 out of 10!

José was so lovely. Chill, knowledgeable, chatty and hooked us up with amazing food places. I always regret not booking a food or bus tour within the first couple of days and once again I stuffed up... there were SO MANY of the places we ate and drank at that I would have returned to. And on that, there were a lot of stops and a lot of variety in the food samples! Perfect! AND José also then emailed us all his list of favs! Guess I need to come back to Madrid soonish 😁 Alison

We enjoyed this walking tour very much. The small group, a very knowledgeable guide, and a nice/diverse selection of tapas and drinks at 4 different bars created a really good experience for us.

This was a very fun tour! Daniel was a fun and friendly tour guide! The food was amazing. I didn’t realize we would get so much! We had a great group of people with us and we all got along. The small group atmosphere was perfect!

Asier was amazing!!! Food and history was great information. Great variety and quality of food! My only suggestion would be maybe reduce size by 1-3 people

Had the best time on our Madrid food tour with the amazing David B! Great history tour and food/drinks. This is the perfect way to celebrate our 60th birthday with our high school bffs. Highly recommend! 🎉🍷

Arantxa was amazing! She shared historical and local insights while we walked around Madrid. The food was delicious and all the establishments were very welcoming.

Arantxa was excellent! Extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the food we ate, as well as the history. We had a lovely time.

Jose was very nice and informative throughout the entire trip. What I liked the most is that he did not take us to anything that I would consider to be a tourist trap – it felt like a bona fide, tapas experience, and I would recommend it to anyone.
