2 hours 30 minutes (approximately)
Offered in: English

Eat your way through Madrid on our Tapas Tour! Over two and a half hours, you’ll wander through La Latina and Madrid Centro with a local foodie guide who knows exactly where the locals eat. Along the way, you’ll pass historic highlights like ancient city ruins, San Miguel Market, and the show-stopping Plaza Mayor.

You’ll stop at five tapas bars to enjoy nine classic favourites paired with five local drinks. Think award-winning Spanish tortilla, stuffed mushrooms, squid-ink sandwiches, and chocolate with churros, washed down with sweet wine, tinto de verano, and a unique vermouth cocktail with a splash of gin.

Between tastings, you’ll meet the locals behind the food and hear how Madrid’s tapas culture came to be. And because we’ve taken care of the menu, reservations, and route, all you have to do is turn up hungry and enjoy the ride. Whether you’re travelling solo or with company, if food is your love language, this is the tour for you.
