A Must Do! - Patricia was an amazing guide during this tapas tour of Madrid. She took us to wonderful “off the beaten path” places and introduced us to food and drink we would not have known to order ourselves. During the tastings and our walk between stops, Patricia told us stories of the history and culture of Madrid that really gave us an appreciation of this beautiful city. Our three young adult children (ages 18-23) and we agreed that this was one of our favorite experiences in our whole trip across Spain. Highly recommend!!!!

Tremendous Tapas Tour! - Aafke took us on a guided Tapas Tour of Madrid. The restaurants, atmosphere, food and drink were first class. As we walked between venues Aafke shared the history of Madrid, the neighbourhood, the restaurants and the people we met. It was a great introduction to Madrid and its lively restaurant culture. Thoroughly recommend it!!! 😄

Great food and history tour - Remy gave us a great tour with 5 stops, each progressively better than the last. My favorite was the Spanish tortilla and also the dessert stop. Great tour with great food, and Remy told us about the history of the area we toured in. Highly recommended!

Best way to fill your belly and see the city! - Remy was a fab tour guide, friendly and knowledgeable! He took us to the best little tapas spots and introduced us to so many gems - places we otherwise wouldn’t have visited. It was a great way to see the city, try different drinks (love me some tinto Verano!), and taste a variety of tapas. Highly recommend as a way to get a meal in while doing something cool!

Great tapas tour with Remy! I enjoyed an evening with eight fellow travelers to 5 stops. Madrid is safe and fun! - Short, reasonable walks. Remy provided local knowledge, historic information and good spirits for this fun evening. It was a great way to get a quick glimpse into Madrids night life culture.

Come Hungry, Leave Happy (and a Little Tipsy) - We did a walking tapas and drinks tour in Madrid and it was seriously one of the highlights of our trip. Our guide Patricia was absolutely the best, so friendly, knowledgeable, and just a joy to be around. She gave us so much insight into the restaurants we visited, their history, and the amazing food and drinks we tried. We also learned a lot about Madrid itself and she shared tons of helpful tips for the rest of our stay. You can tell she really loves what she does and it made the whole experience that much better. Highly, highly recommend this tour, and if you can, ask for Patricia! Just make sure you come hungry and ready to sip because those drinks don’t play around!
