I took the tour with my (adult) son. People waiting for Andres (who arrived on time) recognized each other and by the time Andres arrived, we already had a group rapport. The tour took us as promised to three places where we ate tapas and drank vermouth and wine. Andres brings special wines to these tours from his private collection.... More

We took this tour on our first night in Madrid, May 10. That day we tried our luck with tapas in the afternoon at a restaraunt in Santa Ana Square. It was dissapioning and we started to worry the food on this trip wasn't going to be very good after all. After an afternoon nap, we went to meet Andres... More

An entertaining and informative way to explore old Madrid. We visited some delightful bars and enjoyed the tapas. Andres matched wines with the food and explained the flavour combinations. We were pleased that we took this tour on the first night of our stay. More

I cannot recommend this Tapas tour more highly, especially for those interested in pairing Spanish wines with Spanish food. The 10 of us who joined the tour all left more than satisfied with the quality and quantity food and wine Andres made available for us to sample ... with the highlight (for me) being a sampling of Spanish blue cheeses...

We had high expectations for this excursion based on all the positive reviews online, but at the end of the night I felt like we got taken advantage of. 60 euros each for a piece of ham, a piece of cheese, 3 small tapas a plate of oxtail split 3 ways and a few glasses of wine. We should have... More

I am sorry you are the only one who feel that way about the tour. I wrote to the other participants and these are their reviews: “I am very surprised to hear that. Martin and I really enjoyed the night, food wine and company. There was not one taste we could complain about. Even the cost was well justified. I... More

Our group booked the Walks of Spain Tapas tour for the evening of our arrival in Madrid and we enjoyed it thoroughly! We were met by Andres at Plaza de la villa and after introductions he began sharing his vast historical knowledge of the area. He did a great job of keeping everyone engaged in his talk & pointed out... More

The Tapas tour let by Andres was one of the highlights of our time in Madrid. The food was great, Andres added some history to the tour. It's a great way to sample different Tapas bar and to learn more about the city. More

The Tapas tour is an excellent way to introduce you to the magic of Madrid. We did the Sunday afternoon tour which was excellent. Andrés is a good guide and raconteur. We visited 3 Tapas bars and enjoyed delicious olives, ham, croquettes, empanadas, shrimp & monkfish brochette and an amazing steak and pork with fries & Chimichurri sauce. Delicious! The... More

We learned a lot of the history of hidden Madrid, enjoyed tapas and marvelous wines at every stop. We particulalrly enjoyed the first stop, Casa Paco, as... More
