We had a wonderful tapas tour with Jose! He provided us with wonderful historical and cultural background, as well as taking us to four delightful tapas restaurants. We enjoyed one of the places so much...we returned the next day for a refreshing break while walking around central Madrid. Jose also provided us with a list of recommended restaurants to visit while we were in Madrid - very helpful! In fact, book this tour with him early in your visit to Madrid so you can take advantage of his recommendations. Highly recommended this tour!
