Lilian was an absolute star as a guide. I was extremely jet lagged and the only one on the tour. She made sure we went at my own pace and she also made sure that the food we selected was to my tastes. You can tell that she loves what she does and the people in the restaurants and bars love her as well. She also found some hidden gems that only the locals know about. This tour was great to get my bearings and understand what sorts of food Madrid has to offer.

Lilian, our tour guide, was amazing and the sweetest! We had a big group and she made sure everyone was taken care of, staying aware of some of the group having allergies or not drinking alcohol. I have been living in Madrid for a bit now, and she still took us to some hidden gems that I had never heard of before that were delicious. She even left us with a list of more restaurants to try at the end of the night. We had a generous amount of food and choice of drink at every stop we went to. Definitely worth going on this tour for a true taste of Madrid!

This was an amazing experience! Lillian was a terrific tour guide and gave us the history of the city as we traveled from restaurant to restaurant. She is very pleasant, interesting and knowledgeable. We learned more about the city from her tour than our later group tour. The food was delicious as were the drinks: manchego and tortilla de papayas (Spanish frittata with eggs and potatoes) paired with vermouth; small Spanish sausages cooked in a special sauce with red wine; calamari with albarino; Spanish garlic shrimp paired with a special sweet wine; and torrijas (dessert with fried bread with milk, egg, honey - excellent). Fortunately we had Lillian to ourselves. All places were crowded on a Saturday night, but Lillian was able to get us in and served quite easily. There was abundant food and drink. We actually went back to 2 of the places on our own later. Highly recommend.

Overall an outstanding experience. Our guide Mart had an intimate knowledge of both the food scene of the area and Madrid’s history and culture. His relationship with the tapas bar owners is clearly well established and saw friendly and efficient service at all stops. Mart is also very personable and easy to get on with.

This was a great way to see Downtown Madrid. Our tour guide, Mart, was highly knowledgeable, friendly, and enthusiastic. He took us to 5 outstanding locations. You will finish this tour very full and satisfied. Really, an outstanding experience.

The meeting location was not clear at all, provided a very general location (plaza name only) with no street address. Our uber driver took us to the wrong location because there were multiple Plaza de Villa Calles. Once we realized we were in the wrong location we couldn't make the tour as we were about 25 minutes away. Plus we had problems finding an uber to accommodate 5 people. The tour should have provided a specific locale with street address that was very clear. Very dissatisfied.

We never took the trip We went to the wrong location. We had asked our hotel front desk twice about the drop off point, spoke with Uber driber and the pleople at the place we were dropped off All said we had right location. We were there 30 min early. The meeting place was not specific especially for people. The location providrd did not jane a street address and we did not know there were multiple locations. We ended up to far away to take the tour. I will be asking for a refund.

This was very poor value for money - although the guide Lilian was very personable the quantity and variety of tapas and drinks provided did not match the tour description. The tour was supposed to last 4 hours and ended just after 3 hours. Truly there are a lot of much better value tours out there so do the research and find one. We should have done that and seen that the reviews for this tour are few and far between.
