Traveler reviews
Highly recommend tapas tour
Sirsi is an excellent guide, very knowledgeable. I had so much fun! The tapas and vino were so good plus the group we were in were so open and friendly. I would recommend this tour.
Fun and very informative....
Fun and very informative. In addition to the food tour, historical information about Madrid was also discussed.
If you book one tour book this one.
Sirsa is the best tour guide leading the best tour we have ever taken in Madrid. We live here and take all guests of ours on some sort of tour to get a sense of Madrid and so may I would describe as just ok. However, this tour I’ve now been on twice with Sirsa and she blows everyone away. The experience is well designed, the food is fantastic, and the tour is so engaging and informative. If you book one tour book this one with Sirsa.
Sirsia was a amazing guide! We loved the tour, it was informative, interactive, and fun! Food was amazing. Must book!
Absolutely amazing tour. Must book for any age group. Great history, food, and fun! We loved it!
Amazing historical food tour
