The best introduction to the food and wine scene in Madrid - Our tour guide Nacho was amazing. Customised the tour perfectly with our focus on great food and wine experiences. Visited several places featuring old historic tapas and wine bars and new exciting food joints equally as tasty. We did the tour starting at 6pm and would recommend for anyone looking for a great evening experience of Madrid.

Wonderful Private Tour of Local Food Markets in Madrid - We had a wonderful tour of Madrid's food markets with Enrique. We visited three different markets, stopped at specialty stores along the way, and received a walking tour of sights between each stop. We started with breakfast at a small stall inside our first market and finished with lunch at a larger restaurant inside our final market across town. In between, we visited numerous stalled and sampled everything from Gildas to Iberico ham to cheese to pastries to ice cream to wine, etc. etc. Enrique also sent us home with a selection of delicacies purchased en route. As other reviewers have mentioned, Enrique knew and greeted almost everyone we saw at the markets, was a delightful and thoughtful guide, and gave us wonderful recommendations for other places to visit during our stay. Our group was unusual as it included myself, my 16-year old son, and a close friend from Barcelona, but Enrique put everyone at ease and made sure that he catered to all of our tastes. My Barcelona friend made sure to get Enrique's contact information as she planned to come back and do his tapas tour, which I imagine would be like going to all of Madrid's best hidden spots for tapas with a local, entertaining friend. And my son will tell you that this was one of his favorite things he did in all of Spain.

Must Try - Wear comfy shoes as you will walk a lot, however, as this is a private tour it will be at your pace.

Prefect trip - My only regret is that I can't give Enrique more stars. This was an amazing tour that was tailored to our taste. We learned amazing facts and were full and satisfied. The places we went to really was a genuine local experience.

If you're in Madrid, book a tour with MadSnail! You will love it! - We had a terrific experience touring and eating our way around Madrid with Enrique. He's passionate about the city and full of knowledge. All the vendors and merchants knew and adored him, and he made our afternoon so much fun. We highly recommend MadSnail - Enrique was exactly what you want in a tour guide. Fun, flexible, clever, and showed us things we'd never find on our own. 10/10! Thank you, Enrique!

Fantastic gastronomic and historical experience - We booked this tour for midday on a Monday so the markets were quiet. Nonetheless our great guide was flexible and showed us food and historical locations. We were never short of food samples and he was completely flexible. A local market experience included the fishmonger providing a tray of octopus and raw tuna sprinkled with oil and salt. We ate this with white wine whilst the sausages were cooking at another stall. The roast suckling lamb was divine. A fantastic experience and worth every penny
