Food, drinks, and a good time - This tour was amazing! I've done many food tours all over the world and Montse was easily one of the best guides. Very knowledgeable, engaging, and friendly. She was even willing to give recommendations for places to check out after the tour was over. The places we went to eat got better and better and there were all types of drinks to match what people in the group liked. If I ever go back to Madrid I would revisit any of the places from the tour. We got to see some great sites in between the places we went to eat and learned some interesting history along the way. Do not hesitate to book this tour because it will be well worth your time and money.

Wonderfully tasty and educational - Cassie was a fantastic tour guide tonight, ensuring we ate incredible food, learnt a ton of history and had enough charisma to get out group of twelve to become chatty! It was a great evening and I'd highly recommend a tour with Cassie.

Enjoyable - Was a good experience to learn about the History and Food on this tour. The tour of all the heritage sites were just enough to give us the amount of history to digest. The Tapas were excellent and well enjoyed, specially listening to how these came about and enjoying them in the old family restaurants
