Excellent

Great extensive tour - I got to experience a range of Spanish foods - from churros dipped in hot chocolate, classic Spanish vermouth, olives, anchovies and chips to bocadillo de calamares, jamon, a sourdough bun with chorizo anda cake from the top traditional pastry shop. Aranxta did a great job directing us only to traditional family-owned shops and explained their role in history and Madrid culture. Super tour with lots of top quality food - ended up with plenty to eat and lots learned.!

Mitzi was amazing! She shared information on the culture, the food, local insights, and it’s clear she has a passion for Madrid and also for the local food scene. She was kind and engaging and very knowledgeable…we are thrilled to have her insights that we can put to good use for the remainder of our trip!

Arantxa was a wonderful guide! We not only enjoyed EVERYTHING we tasted /ate but learned so much along the way. We learned a little of the history of both Spain and Madrid, some of the holiday traditions ( it was December ) and the culture. It was delicious and fascinating! We have done Devour tours in the past, and although they have always been great, this one, with Arantxa was particularly memorable!
