We had an amazing time with Gabriella as our guide. She was knowledgeable, fun, and even adopted our NFL team! The tapa choices were classic and delicious, so much so that we went back for seconds later on during our trip. By the end of the tour, everyone in our group felt like family. Gabriella could entertain all age groups, and it was evident that the restaurant staff also enjoyed her company.
