Awesome food and friends

Charlie_P, Nov 2025
Jorge was great, he was extremely informative and accommodating. There is a lot of information, it is probably better to schedule this tour early on in your trip as you get information about where to go and what to do in Madrid.

Response from Host, Nov 2025
