In addition to teaching us about the local tapas and drinks, she showed us a lot of interesting and off the beaten path places and told us lots of interesting info about Madrid. There was more food and drink on the tour than you could possibly eat or drink. No one on our tour could finish it all. I highly recommend that you do this tour.”
