Amazing and delicious

Had an amazing time, with lots of cool little insights into all things Madrid. Never expected a deep dive into Iberico ham, but Adolfo explained every little bit of intricacy as we indulged! Highly recommend going with a very empty stomach as there was plenty of food to go around!

Eating Madrid is a MUST DO food tour!

Carolyn was absolutely amazing! She took her time and made sure to give us some history as we enjoyed our food. This food tour was definitely worth the money, we had an 1130am tour and had to cancel dinner we were so stuffed. Eating Madrid is a must!!!
