Overview

Bond with fellow foodies and eat your way through Madrid on our Tapas Tour. Over two and a half hours, you'll explore La Latina and Madrid Centro, discovering where locals eat and drink. Along the way, you'll stroll through historic streets and visit iconic landmarks, including Plaza Mayor.

Visit five authentic eateries to enjoy a variety of Spanish favourites paired with local drinks. Expect award-winning Spanish tortilla with caramelised onions and goat cheese, Manchego cheese, fuet, a Basque-style gilda, a squid ink calamari sandwich with aioli, garlic mushrooms with chorizo, and freshly made churros with hot chocolate. Along the way, you'll enjoy a local beer, a modern vermouth cocktail spritzed with gin, and a refreshing tinto de verano.

Along the way, you'll learn about Madrid's food culture and hear the stories behind the dishes locals love. We take care of the menu, reservations, and route, so just arrive hungry and enjoy an authentic taste of Madrid.
