Carlos’ Food Tour - Carlos was the best tour guide! You can tell his love of local food and culture and it was an amazing morning being shown around Valladolid by him. Highly recommend this tour as you will find hidden gems that can’t be found on google. Also come hungry! We split some of the things and still were stuffed!

Awesome food tour - We loved our Valladolid food tour. Everything we ate was fantastic, and we got to visit a lot of little local restaurants that wouldn’t have been on our radar otherwise. A really great tour!

Highlight of our trip! - Chef Alex took us on an unforgettable food adventure through Valladolid.
