Perfect short tour for a short little getaway! - This was the perfect tour for a few night stay in Madrid! It had a snippet of everything, a short walking tour from restaurant to restaurant that included some Spanish history, incredible drinks, and some amazing food. Andres was incredibly knowledgeable and gave us an unforgettable experience. It was a great way to meet people and do some light exploring without doing a full tour in a larger group, which can sometimes be more of a hassle. I would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone staying for a short stint in Madrid and looking to get a taste of the history/food culture!

Wonderful tapas tour with Andres - We had a wonderful evening in Andrès’ company. He is very charismatic and lots of fun! His knowledge of Spain and particularly Madrid is second to none and it was really interesting learning about Spanish food, wine and its traditions! Andrès took us to fabulous tapas bars in vibrant and busy parts of the old town. The food was really delicious in all of these places and the wines were excellent - especially the red! Yum yum! Our group was really great and we ended up laughing, talking, eating and drinking with one another as if we’d known each other for years! If you only do one thing in Madrid - take this tour!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Thank you Andrès for giving us a wonderdul evening!!!

Wine and tapas - This was the best tour! Andres took us to some real great spots and fun neighborhoods. Not only did we have amazing bites, but, he really knows what wines would complement each dish. The wines were such a surprise as to how good they were. We thoroughly enjoyed our evening meeting others from all different places. I highly recommend Andre’s’ tour, not to miss!

Tour is not to be missed. - The only sad part of this tour is that I did not do it sooner. Andre’s is fantastic. The drinks, food and knowledge of the area was great. We experienced both food and drink that we would never have known about in tapas restaurants that were fantastic. Andres also brought in some outside wine and PX sherry - amazing with the final vanilla Ice cream and macadamia nuts. Highly recommend this tour.
