I highly recommend this tour! Our guide, Arantxa, was absolutely fantastic—bubbly, personable, and full of energy. She brought the city to life with her captivating stories, blending fascinating history with local culture. The food was incredible, offering a perfect mix of flavors, and the drinks complemented everything perfectly. It was a wonderful experience that my teenage boys and I will always remember.

Wonderful tapas tour this evening in Madrid. Our guide Arantxa immediately brought the group together with her natural warmth and humour, and led us around the city on a magical tour of historical sights, all the while pointing out fascinating details about the streets, bars and restaurants that we're new to me -- and I've visited Madrid numerous times. The tapas are excellent, top quality, served in a flash, and the perfect selection. I'm a travel advisor and will be recommending this tour to all my clients!
