Your Itinerary

Plaza de la Villa

Your tapas adventure begins in Plaza de la Villa, the old main square in central Madrid. You will get a brief introduction to the city and its tapas credential.

Mercado San Miguel

We will head towards Mercado de San Miguel, the first gourmet market in all of Spain, for the first of many food tastings. Here we’ll start with an aperitivo, what else?! We’ll try traditional vermouth or Spanish wine, and we’ll taste some delicious Spanish cheese at one of the best cheese stalls in the market.

La Latina

Next, we’ll head to the pulsating barrio of La Latina to explore its narrow lanes and fascinating history. This neighbourhood is ultra trendy right now and is popular with locals for its vibrant food and drink scene. We will visit a tiny, off the beaten path restaurant that is well known for their traditional tapas dishes - with a fusion twist. This tiny spot only has 6 tables so it’s always busy and it has a great atmosphere!

Plaza Mayor

Our next stop is Plaza Mayor where we'll chat about the city’s history and food culture. We will try the iconic bocadillo de calamares, the famous sandwich of the city. To wash it down, we’ll try some local beer too! We’ll also try some of Madrid’s most famous croquettes at a heritage tavern that was originally built in 1860 and only specializes in these special potato treats.

Puerta del Sol

After that we will walk towards Puerta del Sol, one of the most iconic spots of Madrid and finish our tapas adventure with a local dessert. Once you’ve finished your dessert, your guide will take you back to Puerta del Sol, where they can help you out with directions back to your accommodation or ideas on where to go next!

Everyone bit me and my son cancelled and did not attend this tour and that made it an amazing experience to have with my son. We got to experience food that tailored to avoid my allergy indulge my love of architecture and tailor some location to foods she felt my son would like. Patricia was an amazing host and half way through the tour we felt like we were just out on the town in Madrid with a friend.

Our tour guide, Patricia was amazing! We had the most delicious food and drink and experienced all the best tapas places from a local's perspective. She also followed up with recommendations for restaurants in Madrid and other cities we planned to visit and took the time to send recipes as well recommending local shops for purchases we were interested in. The tour was not solely about tapas. We also received history lessons on each area of the city we saw with her. Book this tour- you won't be sorry!

Went on tapas tour. Our guide Afka was tremendous as was the beer and wine. Alas tapas not so much. We had mushrooms then 2 types of potatoes then sausage all good but expecting more. Finally calamari, excellent, shrimp tiny and a very disappointing bread desert. Would not recommend

This tour with Lillian was a highlight of our visit. She was knowledgible, passionate about all things Madrid and paced the tour perfectly. The restaurants she took us to were full of locals adding to this unique experience. We highly recommend adding this to your itinerary.

Our guide was Lilliana and she was great. Very informative regarding the history and culture of Madrid. Was a pleasure to enjoy the city with and she showed us great restaurants and highlights of Madrid. Thank.you!

Patricia took us to tapas restaurants that we never would have found ourselves. We were the only two on this tour so she customized it to our dietary needs. Patricia also gave us an amazing overview of the City and walked us around some beautiful buildings and squares. We would recommend this to anyone visiting Madrid for just a few days.

We had an amazing experience with our guide Patricia. I would highly recommend this to anyone who would like to be introduced to the city.

Lilian was an absolute star as a guide. I was extremely jet lagged and the only one on the tour. She made sure we went at my own pace and she also made sure that the food we selected was to my tastes. You can tell that she loves what she does and the people in the restaurants and bars love her as well. She also found some hidden gems that only the locals know about. This tour was great to get my bearings and understand what sorts of food Madrid has to offer.

Lilian, our tour guide, was amazing and the sweetest! We had a big group and she made sure everyone was taken care of, staying aware of some of the group having allergies or not drinking alcohol. I have been living in Madrid for a bit now, and she still took us to some hidden gems that I had never heard of before that were delicious. She even left us with a list of more restaurants to try at the end of the night. We had a generous amount of food and choice of drink at every stop we went to. Definitely worth going on this tour for a true taste of Madrid!
