Our tapas tour with Luis was a delightful way to spend our first evening in Madrid. Luis was welcoming and friendly, and of course, super knowledgeable about local foods and the best places to go for specific foods and drinks. The introduction to tapas locations, as well as other restaurants and bars for future meals in Madrid, was exactly what we were hoping for when we booked this experience.
Due to the virus Luis made sure that we followed all required sanitary and distancing requirements, and we felt very comfortable with them as well as with how each location we visited also followed the health requirements.
The tour was a great value. We learned heaps about Madrid and Spanish history and also received a great overview of the layout of the city.
We stopped at four locations on the tour for food and drink and made a few other stops along the way to take a quick peek at particular bars and restaurants to understand better their role in Madrid’s history.
Lovely experience. Thanks Luis!

Dear Vincent S.
Thanks for your kind gold stars to the service we provide.
This year 2016 we have the flexibility of being two tour guides Mario and me. If we see someone needs to be attended separately for reasonable reasons we will do so.
Thank you, Vincent for sharing.

Luis was amazing! My husband and I took this tour and had such a great time! We were only in Madrid for one night and this was a perfect experience for that! Luis showed us all the great areas and took us into the hot spots to get delicious tapas! It felt as though we were a local! Luis is so knowledgeable of the area and the history, we learned so much about Madrid! I cannot say enough how great this experience was! You must take this tour!

Four and a half hours flew by like I and my friends were with an old buddy who had come into town. Luis was our guide. His authenticity was compelling--rather than try to force jokes or oversell, Luis simply told us about Madrid, pointed out some "easy to miss" items like the km 0 marker and the bronze plaques for businesses operating for over 100 years.
His knowledge of foodstuffs is second to none. He is a ham (Iberian Ham) expert. Luis chose four outstanding stops for us to enjoy tapas and beverages. The first stop was all about meat; the second was about the best prawns and squid that you can imagine (and can see being prepared) in an authentic, cater-to-the-locals place. We went for a Spanish omelette at the third stop which was delectable, and finished with ice cream.
He toured other neighborhood gems and spots to clue us in to where good food could be found---and where we might find ourselves in a tourist trap.
Luis spoke about the foods with passion. He was educating by connecting geography, culture and history to the food we were enjoying. Most of all, he was genuine, not condescending, not arrogant, just very simply a man who enjoys his craft and infects his guests with anticipation and excitement.
We added the Flamenco dancers which was well worth the add on to the basic tapas tour. Talented and entertaining!
THE VERY BEST PART IS THAT LUIS INCLUDES ALL THE FOOD AND DRINK IN THE PRICE. There is no surprise bill at the end. Instead, at the end, there is a handshake, a thank you and an offer to give any other advice about Madrid and touring here.
This is the place to go for an outrageous and amazing experience.
TIP FOR SOLOS--Come on this tour. The guide's accessibility and style will blend you in with those who are with others, so you immediately feel like part of the gang.

My wife & I had the pleasure of booking a food tour with Luis while we were vacationing in Spain a couple of weeks ago. Food tours are a great way to get to know a city, and our tour guide, Luis, was a very friendly and entertaining guide. He took us to many great tapas bars and restaurants, where we were able to taste some of Madrid’s great food. We had fantastic fried bacalao to start, and Luis gave us the opportunity to try vermouth, which neither of us had had before. We loved getting to eat at La Casa Del Abuelo, where we had great garlic shrimp w/ bread on the side for dipping, as well as other fantastic spots, where we had excellent fresh tomatoes with Spanish olive oil, Spanish tortilla, and even delicious homemade ice cream. During our walks from place to place, Luis used the time to educate us on the history of Madrid and Spain. He is very knowledgeable on Spanish history as well as world history—very impressive. Luis even left us with a wonderful recommendation for dinner for another night. We both had a great time and look forward to our next trip to Madrid.

We had a fantastic night with Luis our tour guide who also gave us a history tour as we made our way to each venue. The food in each place was amazing and Luis made sure that any food restrictions were catered for. Luis gave us recommendations on other places to visit, and foods to try during our stay. We went to a flamenco dance after our tour (included in our booking) which was fantastic and authentic. The tapas tour itself was 3.5 hours long, with the flamenco show taking an hour afterwards. All in all a great night with great food, drinks and company. Would highly recommend to anybody visiting Madrid.

Dear Sarah318W,
Thanks for taking your time for these kind words about our Tapas and Flamenco experience in Madrid.
It makes sense in many cases to want to an introduction to Madrid, tapas and Flamenco in one night. Doing it on your first evening will give you the possibility to enjoy the rest of your stay with a closer approach.
Thanks again for spreading the word and have a great weekend.
Kind regards.

Is the food included in the tour or do we need to purchase separately ? I saw a few tours which also required a separate fee for food.

Good day.
That is a good question. All our gastronomic tours include the drinks and the food in the price.
So the price you find in the web site includes the whole pack of service.
