Marianissa Was Amazing!
Marianissa tailored our tour and was very knowledgeable about the food, wine, culture and history of Madrid and all the various neighborhoods. She definitely took us to local places you would not have found on travel sites. Definitely would recommend her to anyone looking for a personal guide.

Tasty Tastes with Patricia
This food tour was a great way to start our short trip to Madrid. Patricia had good knowledge of the local food and the areas we visited. She took us to a variety of eateries for some tasty tastes. This included an excellent bar we would never have found on our own. Patricia was a pleasant companion with ideas for other restaurants we could visit during our stay.
