Rick Steves' Spain
We have been present in his guidebook since 2005. "Carlos Galvin, a Spaniard who speaks flawless English (and has led tours for my groups since 1998) and his American wife, Jennifer, offer private tours in Madrid and other parts of Spain. Carlos mixes a market walk in the historic center with a culinary-and-tapas crawl to get close to the Madrileños, their culture, and their food. His walk gives a fine three-hour orientation and introduction to the fascinating and tasty culture of Madrid (prices start at €95 per person, includes light traditional tapas and a drink, minimum 2 people, alcohol-free and gourmet versions available, family-friendly, price goes down with more people). They also offer tour packages, provide itinerary planning and hotel booking anywhere in Spain, and rent apartments in Madrid--see their website for information (tel. 913-694-752, mobile 661-752-458, www.letango.com,
