The tour was great. Learning about Tapa and sampling the different foods was fun. We tried different foods that we would have never known to order. Helene made it more special and adapted to our taste buds. She also took us to also shop for local goods in between tapas bars. Would highly recommend this tour and Helene.

Hector was a great guide for our introduction to Madrid. We enjoyed all of the technical knowledge about the history of Madrid as well as contemporary suggestions for where to dine or where to find entertainment. Additionally, as a native of Madrid, he lends a very personal commentary on the pulse of the city. Raves for Hector, great choice for a guide.

Carlos was a superb guide for our day trip to Toledo! In addition to his extraordinary knowledge of history, art and the entire region that makes you feel as if he actually knew these historic figures about whom he speaks so eloquently, Carlos is also extremely kind and considerate. He was careful to point out unexpected architectural elements like steps and low passageways. You are guaranteed a rich day full of history and stories with Carlos as your guide. We look forward to our return trip to this area and future tours with our new friend, Carlos!
