It was a great way to see Spain and also learn about Madrid’s history. The food was amazing! We had a great time and very happy we did the wine and tapas tour!
This was an excellent experience. Augustin was a great guide and had a lot of good insight into the city for first time visitor. The food was great and the portions were very well balanced so that you didn’t leave hungry.

Great food and variety. Knowledgeable tour guide. Beautiful weather. Thank you, Agustin!!
Rodrigo was exceptional! We had so much fun with him and our group. The tapas and drinks were delicious! Especially the mushrooms and the beef cheek! Absolutely would recommend this tour!
Antonio was our guide and walked us through neighborhoods, stopping to give a short talk about the significance of what we were seeing. He’s very knowledgeable but didn’t overwhelm us with too much history which was perfect. The places where we stopped for tapas were in unique settings, such as walking downstairs several levels to where we were below the Plaza Mayor. The tapas themselves were quite amazing and plentiful, with stuffed mushrooms, grilled peppers, chorizo, braised beef in wine, and much more. Alcoholic offerings were included with each stop. The final rooftop views at sunset were lovely. Come hungry!
Antonio was fantastic. The food and locations chosen were great. I really appreciate that. He took us to places that we wouldn’t have found on our own. The tour was a good mixture of history and culture.
