Absolutely loved this tour! Our guide José was wonderful, he was friendly and knew so much about the city and explained each place we visited in detail. The food and drinks were 10/10 at each place we visited, absolutely delicious! Loved the time at the end of the night where we all sat together at the big table. We had a lot of laughs with the other people in the group and Jose was making us laugh too. One of our best and most fun nights in Madrid ever! Would definitely recommend!
