Wine tour Ribera Review

Ismael made our tour wonderful. I was staying in a hotel near Atocha station, which was close to the pick-up station. Ismael was a great guide, knew his wine, helped translate when needed and invited us to a local restaurant for lunch. It was one of my favorite meals during my week-long visit. One of the owners of the wine did not know English, but he knew his wine very well. I ordered him a case for help. To help the owner, Ismael gave the tour. 100 would go again and do the same route with Ismael.

I had a great time on this tour and Carlos does a great job of helping everyone feel included and makes sure everyone is having a good time. The tapas selection was varied at each location and the wine choices on the tour were excellent. Definitely a lot of food for everyone and an enjoyable experience in Madrid.

A fantastic tapas tour through a good variety of boutique venues with a rich variety of food and wine. Carlos was an excellent guide. He was friendly, knowledgeable and eager to answer as many questions as he could. I also met a very friendly group of fellow travelers on the tour. I highly recommend this tour if you are in Madrid for a short or long time. It is a very entertaining evening. It was very good value for money as well.
