Fantastic food tour with Taylor. Every place we went to was very unique and a memorable experience. Such great food! We really experienced a diverse range of tapas dishes with quite a few completely new despite previous trips to Spain. Also a lot of fun and quite an educational experience. A perfect start to our holiday in Madrid - with lots of tips and ideas for next few days!
