Tasty and fun - Very nice experience. Carmen is an enthusiastic guide who gives a lot of tips for Madrid during the tour. The stops are always well chosen and not the typical “tourist traps”.

Great tapas tour - Carmen, our guide, made this tour very fun and engaging. It was a great mix of learning about the city's history and culture, as well as trying local food! I definitely recommend this tour to people looking for a relaxed, small-group experience where you feel like you're friends with the guide.

I RECOMMEND - I booked this private tapas tour for my co-workers coming to Madrid for a convention that took place that morning. Everything went perfectly. All my colleagues (from different countries) went on tour very happy and knowing more about Madrid. The guide, Carmen, was very nice and patient. He took us to several tapas bars where we tasted his specialties, such as garlic prawns, cod croquettes, mushrooms etc, and of course chocolate with churros. It was a memorable night. I recommend this tour if you want to take your guests for tapas and want them to leave happy. WONDERFUL TAPAS TOUR

We met Carmen for our - We met Carmen for our "Private Tapas Tour" on our first night in Madrid. There were eight of us. Carmen guided us through the tapas bars of Old Madrid. She taught us about tapas culture as well as the history of the city. Her knowledge of local wines and tapas was very useful during the rest of our stay in Spain. We had a great time with Carmen; we found her very charming and informative. I highly recommend her to anyone interested in this type of tour.

Private Tapas Tour in Madrid - Carmen was a fantastic tour guide. She combined information about Spanish history, Madrid surroundings, and food and wine seamlessly into the tour. She allowed us to ask questions and provided thoughtful, comprehensive answers. The food and drink we sampled was delicious! And as we took our tour early in our stay in Madrid, she offered several recommendations for restaurants for us to try later in our trip. I would highly recommend Carmen and this tour!
