"Piero was awesome. We enjoyed amazing food and interesting, tasty drinks. We got a rich lesson in the city's history and had an overall amazing time. Piero has such great energy; we can't recommend this tour highly enough "
"We loved sharing an evening with Piero. He was wonderful at weaving history through the tastings and bringing culture to life. Even my two boys - 10 and 12 - were captivated and engaged eaters and listeners. Thank you!"
"It’s difficult to know where to start ………… this is so much more than a food tour!
Piero delivers with real energy, passion and engagement, adding value & surprises along the way. The food and drinks were all great, as was the history we learnt along with way, accompanied by many anecdotes.
If you want fun evening in Madrid along with great food & drinks, with a local that has both experience & real passion for his city then look no further!"
"We spent a wonderful 2 hours with Drica at the Reina Sofia. She was extremely knowledgeable, placing the art in its historical context. She has a unique ability to bring history to life through art. We’ve had many tour guides over the years but Drica is one of the very best."
"Carolina did a great job at tailoring the tour to meet just what we were looking for - combining many of the City's major sights with parts of the city we would never have otherwise have seen or experienced.
Thank you Carolina, and we would have no hesitation in recommending you. "
"Inigo is a true gem of Madrid.
His knowledge of and passion for Madrid is unparalleled and he is the ultimate entertainer. What a beautiful experience and tour we had. Inigo was a delight and to top it off, he surprised us with playing guitar and singing.
You’re in for a treat if you book Inigo! You’ll have the best time! "

"Just Lisa and I on a generous 3+ hour walk with Julian in Madrid. Julian could not have been more friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating. I won’t spoil it for others by itemising the hidden (truly hidden, and even false) gems we experienced and saw, but Julian was fantastic in explaining it all.
110/100 - thank you Julian.

"As someone who started calling Madrid home a little later in life, it was interesting to get Marianissa's insight on Spanish cuisine, culture, and lifestyle from the perspective of an expatriate (based on her initial experience), as well as (now) a local. It wasn't the best weather on the day, but Marianissa was open to adjust the tour start time and made the most of it with her positive spirit. Enjoyed the local spots that we visited, as well as the food and beverage picks, and Marianissa's fun company."
"We had a wonderful history tour of Madrid with Piero. He was personable, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable. He clearly loves sharing “his Madrid” with travellers, as he incorporated some of his passions into the tour. He brought the city's history to life with fascinating stories and insights that we would never have discovered on our own. The tour was engaging, informative, and well-paced, making it one of the highlights of our visit to Madrid. I highly recommended touring with Piero to anyone wanting a fun and interesting tour of the city's rich history and culture."
