Viator Traveler's Reviews
There are so many places to eat in Madrid - so how do you find authentic ones and miss the tourist traps? Take this tour! Our knowledge guide lead us to a variety of smaller ‘local’ places we would have never discover on our own. He knew food and wine so we also learned about local wines. The tour is designed to allow the group to interact. This worked well. We met new international friends! We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and the price was fair.
A fabulous way to spend an evening in Madrid! Carlos guided our group of 10 into four very different venues for a glass of wine and a selection of four different tapas. I have issues with milk and soy and I was well taken care of. Being unfamiliar with Madrid I wouldn’t have chosen the places we went. But it was fun and the wine and tapas were excellent. We went to two what I consider neighborhood places, another where we stood at the bar, and ended in a very nice restaurant - all in local popular areas. A fun evening!
This was a very good tour. Our guide was pleasant, and he was knowledgeable about food and its cultural history to Spain.The number of participants made it intimate and everyone bonded over tapas and wine. Our guide selected a variety of tapas along the stops. The only thing that I would add is to include a one-page circular that outlines the restaurants/bars for each stop and a menu of the tapas that will be tasted at each location. Other than that suggestion, I think this was a great tour!
