We can highly recommend this food tasting tour with Marianissa as she is very competent and her choice of places ist great.Nice guide, cool places, great food
Marianissa was the best part of visiting Madrid!
So lively, open and ready to share the best places to eat. She shared wonderful stories and gave a diverse cross section of places to enjoy the treats of Madrid. She even helped us connect with a way to get back to the airport!
I would book food tours with her just for the opportunity to meet up again!Wonderful Host, delightful!
Our group had a highly enjoyable experience with Marianissa's tour. She led us to several outstanding food establishments that we would not have found as tourists.
We were so impressed by some of these locations that we revisited them a few days after the tour. During our walk, she imparted historical knowledge and provided recommendations on what attractions and activities to pursue during our stay in Madrid.
One of the best tours in Madrid.
There’s much to be said of expectations. Since we were in Madrid, ours were high. How disappointed we were
We were expecting off-the-beaten track food places what we got was the tourist food market. What we expected was some history and background to the different tapas, what we got was nothing at all. Not even that Spain has a long coastline rich in anchovies! Or that
acorn-fed pigs produce the world famous Iberico hams. And lastly what we expected was some history and anecdotes of the areas we walked through the streets. What we got was a somewhat mute guide who commented only that Barquillo was gentrified only in the last 7 years. Fortunately ChatGPT was our friend and we located Spain’s first skyscraper ( Edificio Telefonica) and learned that the new Four Seasons was formerly the chairman’s office of Banco Santander.
I will accept our group had some particular eating habits but this is an eating tour so one assumes that’s a routine obstacle to overcome. So I’m afraid she gets a one star, in the ongoing battle that is Woman/Man vs ChatGPT, Marianna’s performance scores one for the machines.Avoid.
Warm relationship with Marianissa helped to understand culture and Spanish customs of living outside in small pubs and restaurants
4 friends visiting Madrid and we absolutley LOVED Marianissa and the spots she took us too.
Would highly recommend her, fun, chatty and highly knowledgable! Made us feel like we had been friends for years 🩷Fantastic Tour!!
Maria is a fun and energetic guide which my family which includes 12 and 10 year old girls love so much. She understands that my girls couldn’t drink alcohol and would add an orange juice stop for them. My family and I really enjoyed the history and background of Spanish tapas. It was a great 3 hour well spent with her. Would highly recommend!!!! food tour with Maria!
We spent the day with Marianissa. She took my family of 4 around the city and interacted with my kids. She helped him find his Real Madrid items and new soccer shoes. Its like having a big sister taking you around town when you visit. We went to dinner and she recommended an awesome steak place. Perfect City Guide
Our 10 Tastings of Madrid tour with Marianissa was an absolute delight! From the moment we met her, her warm personality and deep knowledge of Madrid’s food scene made the experience both fun and engaging. She took us to incredible local spots—some hidden gems we never would have found on our own.
Marianissa not only introduced us to amazing flavors but also shared fascinating stories behind each dish, giving us a real taste of Madrid’s culture and history. Her passion for food and the city was contagious, and she made sure we had a fantastic time from start to finish.
If you’re looking for a fun, delicious, and well-organized food tour, this is it! Thank you, Marianissa, for making our Madrid adventure so memorable! Highly recommend!A Fun and Flavorful Journey!
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. Marianissa Was Amazing!
