I highly recommend this private tour - Our family group had a private wine and tapas tour with Carmen. She was one of the best guides we have ever met! Carmen made us feel right at home, gave us a ton of information about the food and the history of the city. I highly recommend this private tour if you want to have a great time with your family or friends in a new city.

We met Carmen for our - We met Carmen for our "Private Tapas Tour" on our first night in Madrid. There were eight of us. Carmen guided us through the tapas bars of Old Madrid. She taught us about tapas culture as well as the history of the city. Her knowledge of local wines and tapas was very useful during the rest of our stay in Spain. We had a great time with Carmen; we found her very charming and informative. I highly recommend her to anyone interested in this type of tour.

Highly recommended - We had a lovely 3-hour private tour with Carmen. She took us to 4 wonderful places where we tried delicious tapas, wine, and delicious hot chocolate with churros for dessert. I recommend booking this tour if you're looking for a private tour where it's just you and you can enjoy the food and the history of the city in a more intimate way, just with your family, friends, and Carmen (guide).

Private Tapas Tour in Madrid - Carmen was a fantastic tour guide. She combined information about Spanish history, Madrid surroundings, and food and wine seamlessly into the tour. She allowed us to ask questions and provided thoughtful, comprehensive answers. The food and drink we sampled was delicious! And as we took our tour early in our stay in Madrid, she offered several recommendations for restaurants for us to try later in our trip. I would highly recommend Carmen and this tour!
