This was a great tour for our first night in Madrid. The taverns were all local and gave an authentic feel for central Madrid. Our host Dani was excellent. He seems to know all the proprietors and tavern workers. The drinks and food were varied and very good. We also met a number of very social and friendly tour mates. We certainly recommend this tour.
