Experience Details

Eat your way through Madrid on our Tapas Tour. Over two and a half hours, you'll explore La Latina and Madrid Centro with a local foodie guide who knows exactly where locals go to eat and drink. Along the way, you'll stroll through historic streets and visit iconic landmarks, including the famous Plaza Mayor.


Stop at five authentic eateries to sample some of Madrid's favourite flavours. Enjoy 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. Pair your tastings with a local beer, a vermouth cocktail spritzed with gin, and a refreshing tinto de verano.


Between bites, you'll learn about Madrid's food culture and hear the stories behind the dishes locals love. We've taken care of the menu, reservations, and route, so all you need to do is arrive hungry and enjoy an authentic taste of the city.
