The Tapas tour with Augustin was amazing. We tried so many dishes that were on the “must try” lists for Madrid. Along the way, we learned about the culture and history of Madrid and Spain in general. Our tour group bonded so well, we went to a recommended nightclub and danced the night away together. What a great introduction to Madrid!

Awesome experience!

We had an excellent time touring around areas of Madrid and sampling various tapas and drinks. Our guide met us at our meeting spot outside the market and walked a short distance to our first spot. At each spot she gave us a history of the place and of the food we were about to sample. She even demonstrated how to eat our mushroom tapas with two toothpicks to not lose the topping. A fun time indeed! Along the way she pointed out her favourite places for those of us who were spending more time in Madrid. The selection of tapas and places we visited was perfect. Ending the evening on a rooftop bar was also very enjoyable. We highly recommend doing this tour.

This was our favorite tour that we did on our most recent trip to Europe! Our guide, Mariña, was friendly and knowledgeable and provided fun facts about Madrid. Each stop was better than the previous one and everyone in the small group on the tour was great. We ended up lingering in the roof top bar at the end, enjoying the company of our new found friends.

I didn't have much time to spend in Madrid, so I decided to go on this tour - and it turned out to be the best decision ever! Our guide, Laura, was truly amazing, providing insightful information and creating a delightful atmosphere throughout. The food exceeded expectations, with the carrillada being the highlight. And let's not forget the rooftop terrace – it absolutely took our breath away. If you find yourself in Madrid, this tour is an absolute must.
