Jose from Toledo was our tour guide and he was knowledgeable and passionate about the history, explaining along the way while providing great tapas and drinks! When asked random questions about the history he showed a varied and discret knowledge only a real local would know. I would 19 our of 10 recommend him as a tour guide and this tour as a crash course of madrid

I really enjoyed this tapas tour around the center of Madrid. The food was very tasty so bring your appetite. Also, our guide was very knowledgeable. She shared with us a lot of terrific info about local food, wine, Madrid, and Spain in general. The atmosphere was relaxed. Highly recommend.

We had a wonderful evening with Natalia , our Tapas Adventure Tour Guide. This was a private tour ( just my wife & I) and it was more than just a tapas hoping tour but rather a historical perspective of the many architectural buildings & monuments along the way. Natalia has a wealth of knowledge and in addition to the non touristy authentic tapa bars we visited, Natalia was certainty the highlight of our evening, engaging in great conversation while sharing her in-depth knowledge of Madrid and Spain.
This is a tour not to be missed if your interest is in a bit of history while also experiencing and appreciating the authenticity of Madrid without a large group. The intimate experience with Natalia is one that we will remember for year to come.
