Jorge was fantastic. He took us to six different locations to sample the local cuisine, and they were all delicious! The tour is primarily in Madrid's historic district, so we learned a lot about the city's history as well as food history. I'm still daydreaming about that hot chocolate!

The highlight of our trip was this walking food tour! It's basically like spending the afternoon with a local friend who takes you to all of their favorite spots, is passionate about food, and knows everything there is to know about the city's history.
We learned so much about the city, history, culture, food, and drinks during our nearly four-hour food tour. We had far too much to eat and drink. Jorge was our tour guide, and if you can, you should - he was the best - fun, funny, entertaining, and enthusiastic.
I cannot recommend it enough!

This food tour is a fantastic way to get to know Madrid, in my opinion. This was my first full day in town, and I'm glad I did it. It assisted me in getting a sense of the landscape, learning about Spain's history, learning about some of the food culture, and, of course, eating some delicious food! I particularly appreciated the fact that we visited off-the-beaten-path locations frequented by locals. That is something I could not have figured out on my own. Jorge was an excellent host: he was entertaining and easy to be around, and he made certain that we were all well taken care of. He also gave me a lot of recommendations for places to visit and things to do while I was in town. Jorge comes highly recommended!

This small group tour was fantastic! Jorge, our tour guide, was extremely knowledgeable, an excellent communicator, and a lot of fun. We went to a number of tapas restaurants and specialty food stores that specialized in Madrid/Spanish foods and beverages. Portions were plentiful at all stops! We wholeheartedly endorse Jorge and this tour.

Jorge was an excellent tour guide. Friendly and knowledgeable. He tailored the tour to our preferences. I can't believe how quickly three hours passed! Jorge made our trip to Madrid absolutely perfect. I've been on food tours all over the world, and Food Tours and their local guide Jorge are among the best!

The tour was absolutely delightful. Jorge was a fantastic tour guide. His understanding of the city, its history, and the stories of our stops was superb. His English was also excellent, and he was able to convey everything he wanted to say. All of the stops were genuine (and delicious). I absolutely recommend it!

Out of more than a dozen food tours, this was without a doubt the best. The flavors were enjoyable, and some were undoubtedly tastier than others. I love food tours because they provide me the opportunity to sample new things. The best part, though, was that Jorge gave us a thorough history lesson as well as interesting facts about the streets and plazas we passed through while we walked between Sol and the Royal Palace. A participant who had previously done the tour this time brought a friend. Next time I visit Madrid, I will without a doubt do the same.

Jorge was an outstanding tour guide!! Not only did we get to sample some delicious tapas and drinks, but he also provided excellent background and history of Madrid and Spain during our tour. He ensured that everyone had a wonderful time and learned about the food and drink, as well as the locations and restaurants. He also provided us with impressive feedback on questions we posed to him about other things to do in Madrid. It was one of the most enjoyable tours I've ever taken!

This was the most incredible introduction to Madrid, and I learned a lot about the city that I would not have known about. It was a delight to spend time with Jorge because he was so entertaining and informative. We could tell that he cares deeply for his hometown. I can't express how much I loved this tour. Impressive!

The Food Tour I took with Jorge was fantastic! He had a depth of knowledge about the history of Madrid as well as the reasons why particular foods and beverages were so well-liked in Spain. We enjoyed a wide variety of foods at various restaurants while he told us the stories of the owners of each one. The king and queen gave the pastry store free rent as long as the owners pass the business down to the next generation! While visiting Madrid, I absolutely recommend Jorge and Food Tours. You won't be disappointed!
