    We had a great time on this tour! We learned some great knowledge of the area. Got to see areas that we probably would not have come across on our own. We tasted some great foods and drinks. Our tour guide was pleasant, had a great sense of humor and overall made our tour that much better

    Experiencing Spaniard Lifestyle through History, Food and Drink

    Pat_G, Mar 2025
    Deyvis, my tour guide does a great job mixing the history of Madrid by showing highlights of the neighborhoods and the restaurants in them. We experienced the food and culture that defines life in Spain both old and current. Make sure you walk back to your hotel after the excursion because you are going to be tipsy from the vermouth, the wine or beer and all the delicious tapas. The food was amazing from the Iberico ham tasting which blew me away to the various tapas. And it all ends with an amazing desert liqueur with a surprise. Deyvis has the knowledge and temperament of a museum guide. But after the booze and the food, the experience ends up being quite a good time. I recommend the tour being in a smaller group so you put can get more attention to your questions. It was just Deyvis and I. I did this tour during the day, so I could shop after. But I could see this excursion as a great way to end your evening.

    Take a wine and tapas tour with Davis!

    Timothy_H, Sep 2024
    Davis gave an awesome tour. It happened that I was the only person on his tour and it was an exceptional experience. Davis is extremely knowledgeable about the history of Spain as well as all of the artwork in the Prada Museum. I’m only sorry that I didn’t know earlier that he also does Prada Museum tours because that could have been a highlight of my trip. Davis took me to a number of wine and tapas places that were out of the way and I would’ve never found by myself. I can’t recommend Davis highly enough. You should really take a tour from him.
