Our tour guide David B was knowledgeable, social and very upbeat. He made sure we were informed, kept us hydrated by pointing out shops that sold water bottles/the fountains and explained the history of restaurants around the area as well.

David B., our tour guide, is excellent. Not only did we taste a variety of tapas and drinks with local significance, he also provided some interesting history of the city of Madrid. I had a wonderful time!

Know Before You Book
Is this the best tapas tour in Madrid?
We think so—and so do the 2,000+ guests who’ve given us five stars. This is the original Madrid tapas tour that launched in 2012, and it’s still the gold standard for travelers who want to explore the city through its best tapas, taverns, and stories.
How much food and drink is included?
Plenty! You’ll enjoy 10+ traditional tapas and 5 drinks (including vermouth, cava, and regional wines) across three family-run stops. It’s a full dinner, Barcelona-style. Come hungry.
What kind of tapas will I try?
The lineup varies with the seasons and availability, but expect a mix of Catalan and Spanish staples—things like *butifarra* sausage, crema catalana, fried fish, croquettes, and more. Every dish is carefully chosen to reflect local traditions and flavors.
What drinks are included?
Each stop includes a traditional drink—like vermouth on tap, crisp ciders, and quality Spanish wines. If you don’t drink alcohol, no worries—there are non-alcoholic options available at every stop.
Is this a walking tour?
Yes, this tour was designed for walking at a moderate pace. We recommend wearing comfortable shoes. If you have mobility limitations, please contact our Guest Experience team in advance so we can plan accordingly for your tour.
Is this tour good for solo travelers?
Definitely. Our small groups are friendly, social, and perfect for solo travelers looking to connect over great food and conversation.
Are dietary needs accommodated?
Yes, we can accommodate no-pork and pescatarian diets. Just let us know when you book. This trip isn't recommended for vegans or people with celiac disease due to the nature of the food experiences.
Do I need to speak Spanish?
Not at all. Your expert local guide is fluent in English and Spanish and will handle all communication, so you can just relax and enjoy the experience.
