“I booked this tour for my wife and I during our first anniversary trip to Madrid. We decided to dedicate the trip to eating all of the fantastic cuisine from the city by playing Tapas Bingo. This tour easily was the highlight of our trip. The food we ate in every restaurant was fantastic, fresh, and authentic. The format of the tour was great. But the two reasons why I am writing this review is for the group we shared the experience with and our guide Juan Felipe. Our group was small, around 10. My wife and I are from the US, and we were joined by a great group…”
