About this tour
A 2.5-hour small-group tapas tour through Madrid's food scene, stopping at intimate local spots to sample Spanish bites paired with beer, wine, and vermouth. You'll move through the city streets eating and drinking alongside a guide who tailors stops to dietary preferences—vegetarian, pescatarian, or omnivore—with the aim of leaving genuinely full and connected to Madrid's culinary culture rather than rushed through crowded tourist traps.

- Fully wheelchair accessible venues, routes, and transport links

What to expect
You'll meet your guide and set off into Madrid's streets, moving between carefully selected tapas bars and food venues over the next 2.5 hours. At each stop, you'll sample local dishes and pair them with included drinks—beer, wine, vermouth, or soft drinks if you prefer. The guide will steer you toward dishes matching your dietary needs and explain the food's place in Madrid's culinary identity.
The pace is built around eating and savouring, not rushing. By the end you'll have visited several venues, eaten across multiple stops, and drunk your way through a mix of Spanish beverages. The tour wraps when you've had enough food and the guide feels the group is satisfied.

Good to know
This suits anyone keen on Spanish food culture who wants to eat properly rather than snack, and prefers smaller, less touristy venues. It works well for vegetarians and pescatarians given the explicit catering. Accessibility is strong—all routes, venues, and transport are wheelchair accessible, prams are welcome, and it suits all fitness levels. Caveats: alcoholic drinks are 18+ only (non-alcoholic alternatives provided). You'll be walking between stops, so comfortable shoes help. Gratuities aren't included and will be your choice. Peak times may mean venues are busier than usual, though the guide selects places with a smaller-group feel in mind. Group size isn't specified in advance.
