I really enjoyed the tapas, taverns and history tour in Madrid. Aafke was knowledgeable and made the tour enjoyable, even with a bit of rain.

Took the food & historry tour with David. He took us to places we wouldn’t have discovered on our own or if we would have we wouldn’t have spent a good amount of time queuing for. We kind of got the vip access if you will, skipped the line. Plus he was able to explain to us the history without it being boring or too textbook. We went this Semana Santa and the amount of effort it took to move to places deserves 5 stars. He kept checking if everyone was still okay and comfortable as the tour got into huge crowds and had to reroute a few times.

This was a great tour with delicious food and a thoughtful introduction to Madrid. I went on this tour with my 11-year old daughter and elderly mother and we all had an enjoyable time. David did not rush our (full) group, and although it was a BUSY holiday weekend, we all ended the evening full and relaxed.

Arantxa brought great energy and fun as we meandered from restaurant to restaurant. Managed to navigate the Semana Santa parade even if we ended up on the wrong side of the road!
