Great Tapas, Tour and Guide - What an excellent way to get to know Madrid and Pedro was the best tour guide for the job. He knows the best local places and provided the best history lessons of Spain and its capital. Food at each spot was AMAZING and in most cases were the only tourists. Agree with the recommendation to take this tour early during your visit as you can get great recommendations and go for lunch.

Do not miss this tour! - We really enjoyed this tour. Pedro was an excellent guide. He was very knowledgeable about Spain's history and culture, and the restaurants he set up for our tour were great. The food was delicious, as was the wine. Pedro was flexible as he also tailored a couple of last minute items he found out our group was interested in, i.e food and drink. He did a nice job and he cared about making sure we enjoyed everything. All of us highly recommend this tour.

Amazing food and history - The tour was so fun! The guide was so so knowledgeable about the city and the history of the food we ate. We learned so much and ate to our heart’s content. The iberian ham we had was the highlight for me, but every stop was very good. Best tapas I have had in Spain!

Come hungry - so delicious - Brian was our guide. He took us to four excellent stops with so much delicious food and wine. There were 10 ppl on the tour. During the walk between the stops, he gave us insightful history about the city. You will start near Isabel II square and make your way to the Plaza de Mayor. The wines and cava were delicious and complimented the dishes to range from tapas to churros and chocolate.
We had the extra treat of seeing a Paso rehersal for upcoming Easter. The tour starated at 1845 and ended at 2230. Just a fantastic evening.

Great food and wine... - Great food and wine parings, enjoyable conversations with my fellow participants, the informality of the evening and a very informed tour guide who answered our questions made this a memorable experience. I would definitely recommend it!

Worth taking the Time - It was actually very good, except for the fact that we stood around a lot. Suggestion would be to move into the shade when talking ,or a place where we could sit and listen, or even move more and share information at various stops. One stop for ten minutes was a lot of standing.
