HIGHLY RECOMMEND. This was one of the highlights of our trip to Madrid. Our guide, Andrea had such a bright personality and a great knowledge of the city. We felt like we got some inside access to local life in Madrid by visiting these neighborhoods and meeting the vendors at local markets. It is not advertised nearly enough in the description, but the food and drink samples are generous. Come with an empty stomach! We got to try some wonderful local delicacies and full drinks at several of the booths. We were actually a little tipsy by 2 p.m. : Really enjoyed this tour, and even ended up booking another one with Andrea later in the trip.
