Hanging out with Borja

The best way to get to know the heart of a city is by its food. Borja was our tour guide and he loves the city and the food , and is passionate about sharing it. Great stops for tapas and drinks and while sharing about the food culture in Madrid and Spain. Great value for the experience and ejoyable outing.
