“This was a real highlight of our trip, we were so lucky that we were the only 2 on the tour that afternoon and we struck gold with our amazing guide Carmen. We went back to places she brought us, reordered things Carmen ordered and visited places she recommended and we loved them all. Really feel like we got a true taste of Madrid from a locals perspective. As well as food and drink knowledge and tips we also got some history as we walked the beautiful streets. 100% recommend, thank you Carmen! 🙌🏻”
