Informative, good wine, great tapas, lively conversation - Alex (the guide) was were enthusiastic and it made for a wonderful night of tasking wines (three) and tapas (three plus green peppers). At each of the three stops we had some lively conversation and Alex provided information on the tapas and Santiago cuisine. Not much walking involved between the stops at three local places, a few steps but we were walking at a slow pace so there was no issues. Would highly recommend for a informative chat (Alex translated between Spanish and English as we were a mixed group) as well as handling all ordering it made for a fun and relaxed few hours, well worth it. Highly recommended and would do the tour again !!

Enjoyable Evening of Tapas in Santiago - Had a very enjoyably time. Alex, the tour guide is very knowledgeable and easy going. A small group of just four was intimate and fun. The experience was varied, introducing us to many tapas and various drinks including a visit to a club that had an open mic night with local talent. Highly recommended. Sam USA

Amazing food and itinerary! A must must experience! - Alex was an amazing tapas host and guide. We brought our two kids (aged 10 & 12), and we all had such a lovely time. The three restaurant/ tapas bars Alex selected were phenomenal in terms of food quality. And Alex is such a wonderful conversationalist and provided fantastic cultural context to the food, wine and history of Galicia, the Celtic traditions and music. Such a beautiful town that was further unlocked from this delicious and informative (and fun!) Tour. Thank you Alex!

Great food and wine tour - We booked a tour with Alex last minute the night before which was super convenient. The directions for the meeting place is very clear and we got started on our walking tour/tapas tour of Old Town Santiago. He had so much good information about the city, its history, and the food. We learned a lot and ate a lot! We are winos so the last stop at a wine bar was icing on the cake. Would definitely recommend!
