Overview

Weaving between century-old tapas bars, historic plazas, and mystery-filled streets, discover how the story of Madrid is as much a tale of kings and wars as it is one of garlic shrimp and crusty bread. This Madrid tapas tour is as classic as it gets, which means that no bar is ever too crowded—there’s always room for a few more!

What's Included

  • Enjoy 9+ tapas and 4 drinks at 4 family-run tapas bars (enough for a full dinner) perfectly blended with a fascinating guided walking tour through historic Madrid (2.8 kms/1.7 miles walking in total, with stops along the way).
  • Discover the secrets of a real Madrid tapas crawl while coming face-to-face with history in century-old bars.
  • Dig into a tapas bar classic—garlic shrimp—at the bar that masterminded the recipe.
  • Sip local drinks like a popular wine cocktail that's a better version of sangria and learn to pour your own cider.
  • Try the foods that define Madrid and learn how history has shaped the food we eat today.

Madrid Tapas Tour Itinerary

Start your Madrid tapas tour in a historic tavern where you’ll sip vermouth and try typical aperitivo bites like Manchego cheese. This traditional stop will be your introduction to what going out for tapas really means in Madrid.

Next up is a cozy, family-run spot that was once a horse stable, but today, it’s all about homemade Asturian flavors and warm hospitality. Here, you’ll witness the traditional Asturian cider pour—and even give it a go yourself! Then, sip your fres...

Our Pledge to Sustainable Tourism in Madrid

Madrid is where the story of Devour Tours began, and we’re proud to still be working with many of the same familiar faces that our very first Devourers got to know back in 2012! As the Madrid we know and love changes more with each passing year, it’s more important than ever to support its small, family-run food businesses. From madrileños whose roots in the city date back generations, to immigrants from other regions of Spain (and even across the world!) bringing their culinary traditions to the city, each of them forms part of Madrid’s heart and soul—and we can’t wait for you to meet them.

Excellent
Wonderful tapas tour this evening in Madrid. Our guide Arantxa immediately brought the group together with her natural warmth and humour, and led us around the city on a magical tour of historical sights, all the while pointing out fascinating details about the streets, bars and restaurants that we're new to me -- and I've visited Madrid numerous times. The tapas are excellent, top quality, served in a flash, and the perfect selection. I'm a travel advisor and will be recommending this tour to all my clients!

Our guide, Rosita, took us to several tapas bars known for their specialties. It was wonderful. As we walked, she gave us a history of the area. It was a very fun evening of good food and meeting new people.
