HELLO! My name is Giuseppe, I am a 27-year-old Italian boy who, after living and graduating in England, decided to embark on a new life experience here in Madrid, about two years ago. I am a very sociable, happy person who likes to meet people and share experiences. My main passions are sports and, obviously, coming from an Italian culture, food and gastronomy! (I love to eat too much and especially well) I'll wait for you on this tour to have a few good hours of good vibes, food and history....and who knows, maybe also a good friendship :) After enjoying this beautiful city ​​like Madrid, don't stop traveling and enjoy other incredible experiences. I leave you this link to give you some ideas ;) -https://www.guruwalk.com/es/barcelona?ref=0olclqewme3mfq49uqiz&pro=true -https://www.guruwalk.com/es/sevilla?ref=0olclqewme3mfq49uqiz&pro =true -https://www.guruwalk.com/es/valencia?ref=0olclqewme3mfq49uqiz&pro=true -https://www.guruwalk.com/es/malaga?ref=0olclqewme3mfq49uqiz&pro=true

Tour description

GASTRONOMIC TOUR: TAPAS AND MARKETS OF MADRID!
The tour consists of a real historical-gastronomic immersion in Spanish and Madrid culture through a visit to the very famous and unique Spanish markets and the incredible TAPAS !
The aim of the tour is to explain the history and culture behind typical Spanish foods and take you to the best local places to try each type of food, and not make the classic mistake of eating in tourist places. The tour will start from Plaza Mayor , then head towards the San Miguel market, Mercado de la Cebada , Mercado San Fernando and Mercado Anton Martin . During the journey I will take you to the typical places (secret :)) that I have discovered during these two years and in each one we will try what for me is the strong point of the place. Please, I will take you to many places, so to try everything, I recommend you take it little by little!
At the end of this tour of approximately 2h30m, you will finally be able to say that you have learned about the Iberian gastronomic culture and certainly the difference behind the various prices of Jamon , which you have surely already seen around. And do you know why they are called tapas ?
Book with me to find out and let's go have fun and binge together!
PS This free tour is designed to introduce you to the history of Spanish gastronomy and the best places (in my experience) to try traditional tapas and therefore NO expenses are included . Everyone is free to consume what they want without any limits or obligations at the discretion of their own tastes and hunger ;)
See you soon

Ho avuto la fortuna di partecipare a un tour gastronomico dei mercati di Madrid e posso affermare senza ombra di dubbio che è stata un'esperienza indimenticabile. Il nostro gruppo era guidato da una guida esperta e appassionata che ci ha condotti attraverso alcuni dei mercati più iconici della città, come il Mercado de San Miguel e il Mercado de San Antón. Durante il tour, abbiamo avuto la possibilità di assaggiare una varietà di prodotti tipici spagnoli, dai salumi e formaggi alle tapas e ai dolci. La guida ci ha fornito informazioni dettagliate sulla storia e la cultura gastronomica di Madrid, rendendo l'esperienza ancora più interessante e coinvolgente.

Giuseppe was a great host. He takes the time to explain the many details of each location he brings you to. You have the opportunity to taste anything he brings you to. We really enjoyed the vermouth stop. We wished we could try everything Giuseppe recommended.

This guide messaged us that his tour, that we changed times to accommodate him, would be while he was working and he could not honor the tour. He never even bothered to cancelthe tour officially in the app. Very disappointing and sadly what I have come to expect from GURU while on this trip to Spain.
