Every stop was amazing they continued to get better as the day went on. The bus driver was also amazing for navigating the roads flawlessly. The winery was the perfect way to end the day, in all Stefan and team made the experience wonderful. I’d recommend to anyone!”

“Wonderful!! So many shops and restaurants in Madrid, as a tourist it was hard to discern what was authentic or not. Marinia was a great guide, took us to some great spots. We got to experience authentic sangria, black label Jamón, beef cheek and a rooftop bar with great views. We had a small group, only 4, so we got to know each other and our guide. Marinia had some other local recommendations as well. She even helped us order some manchego from one of the stops. Glad we did this tour at the beginning of our Madrid trip, so we have time to go to some other authentic Spanish…”
Malaga wine and tapas small-group tour with 4 tastings, classic taverns, vermouth, and modern bites, ending near Plaza de la Merced.
“This was an excellent experience and I would definitely recommend it to others. Emilio took us to really quirky and interesting bars/restaurants, that without him may have seemed a bit intimidating/overwhelming as they were so busy, long queues etc (which we could skip). Emilio had interesting stories and facts. The food and drink he chose for us was excellent and a great cross-section of Malagan cuisine. We were a bit nervous about spending an evening with strangers, but Emilio put us at ease and the time passed so quickly.”
Every sort of day out, and the best-rated of each.
