Good to know
This suits anyone wanting an authentic, local-focused food experience rather than a polished restaurant meal. It's a walking tour through urban streets with stops at working taverns, so expect narrow pavements, stairs at some venues, and a lively bar atmosphere. The pace is relaxed and accessible to all fitness levels. All tapas and one drink per person at each stop are included—both alcoholic and soft options are available. Group size isn't specified, so expect anywhere from a small group to a dozen or more. The 90-minute duration covers the walking and eating time, though you may linger longer if you wish. Early evening is likely busier as locals arrive after work.
