My family and I booked this tapas tour on a rainy Monday afternoon in Madrid, and Carmen made it a wonderful evening, enjoying the tapas and churros with chocolate. Carmen gave us lots of information about the city and its history. We were very happy with the tour. I recommend it if you want a mix of gastronomy and the city's history.
Do it your first night We did the Tavern, Tapas, and History tour. Carmen was our guide. She was great. It was an amazing way to see the city and to get the history and culture of Madrid. We enjoyed all four stops. We had a great group of people on our tour. We learned a lot. There is plenty of food and you won't leave hungry. I would recommend doing this your first night in Madrid if possible. It's well worth it.
Food, History, and Wine Carmen, our guide, was the perfect combination of knowledge, friendliness, and an exceptional host. Proud of her city, its history, and its cuisine, she made dining with the best host. The food was plentiful and delicious. You'll walk around a bit between sites and learn a lot.
Great tapas experience in Madrid! What a great night! Our guide Carmen was really fantastic. She provided a lot of interesting information about Madrid and the local tapas scene. She took as to great tabernas that we we would have never gone to on our own. The food was really good! I highly recommend this tour.

I can't say enough about this tour with Carmen! It was the best way to start our trip to Madrid! We had a wonderful time learning about the city and its cuisine. We visited various places where we tried some typical Spanish dishes such as garlic prawns, patatas bravas, mushrooms, and of course, churros with chocolate. It's worth booking while you're in Madrid!
Carmen was an amazing tour guide! She picked great bars with great wine, drinks, food, and service. She also shared lots of historical anecdotes and gave us very useful tips. An excellent tour overall! Thank you!.
It was a very fun tour, and Carmen made the whole experience very enjoyable. She took us to great places you wouldn't normally find on your own. And she knew most of the city inside out. I would recommend it to anyone visiting Madrid, but book it early in your trip. The guide, besides taking you to the restaurants you'll be going to that night, will give you more information about other bars to go to after the tour. I highly recommend it.
We took a wonderful tour with Carmen. My family enjoyed delicious tapas and drinks, and we learned a lot of history. We ended our tour by trying a Spanish classic: hot chocolate with churros. We would definitely do it again!
