What ages is this tour best for?

We designed it with kids ages 4–12 in mind, but younger toddlers and teenagers are welcome too — the guide adapts the stories, games, and pace to your family.
Is this tour private?

Yes — it's just your family and your guide. That means everything moves at your pace, the stories and games match your kids' ages, and nobody has to wait for anyone else. It's the difference between your kids being part of the experience and your kids just being along for the ride.
Is Madrid a good city for families?

One of the best in Europe. The historic center is walkable, the food is kid-friendly, and the culture of family life here means kids are welcome everywhere — in restaurants, in plazas, at 10 PM. This tour is designed to show you the Madrid that local families actually enjoy so that you don't have to choose between experiencing the city and traveling with your kids.
How much walking is involved?

About 2 km (1.25 miles) at a relaxed pace, with frequent stops and chances to sit.
How much food is included?

A full lunch at the Rioja Alavesa winery on Day 1, plus the full *pintxos* tour in San Sebastian that evening (multiple stops, multiple bars — enough for dinner and then some). Breakfast at the hotel on Day 2. Lunch in Getaria on Day 2 is on your own, so you can choose your own spot. Your guide will have suggestions — this is a fishing village, so we recommend going with the fish!
Can my kids learn some Spanish on this tour?

Yes — if they want to. Your guide can weave in Spanish words and phrases throughout the tour, from ordering food to greeting locals. It's optional and playful, never forced.
Do you accommodate dietary restrictions?

Yes — just let us know when you book. Vegetarian, gluten-free (not celiac), dairy-free, and pescatarian options can usually be accommodated. The tour is not recommended for vegans or those with celiac disease.
What's included in the price?

Private roundtrip transport from Madrid by minibus. One night in a 4-star hotel in San Sebastian with breakfast. A Rioja winery visit with lunch. A Txakoli coastal winery visit with tasting. The Ultimate San Sebastian Pintxos & Wine Tour. Entry to Burgos Cathedral and free time to explore. All logistics, all entries, all guided experiences, and a tour leader accompanying you throughout. Lunch in Getaria on Day 2 is not included — by design, so you can choose your own adventure.
What if it rains?

We run rain or shine, so bring an umbrella if the forecast looks wet. Most of the tour is indoors or under cover, and the food will keep you warm either way.
Is this just for tourists, or would expat families enjoy it too?

Both. Families visiting Seville get a fantastic introduction to the city, but expat families tell us they discover things about their own city they never knew. The history, the food stories, and the hidden details are interesting no matter how long you've lived here.
What is the cancellation policy for private food tours?

Private food tours may be cancelled and refunded up to 7 days before the tour date. Thank you for understanding.
