This was a fun way to...

This was a fun way to experience some old, local taverns in Madrid mixed in with some guided history along the way. Our guide (I can’t remember her name but she is from the Netherlands!) was very knowledgeable and spoke perfect English. She did a great job of navigating us through the crowds to all of the delicious dishes. Do note that some stops required standing on crowded places while consuming the food. Good to know if you tire easily

If you want to taste the best tapas in Madrid in authentic bars without looking like a tourist, this is the tour for you! James was recommended to me by another guide who was not available on our trip. We tried some amazing food, (which I couldn't stop thinking about later) and we learned a lot about the city itself while walking. The bars all had a very cool, old classic vibe. He gave us different choices of food based on our preferences, but honestly they all sounded and tasted amazing. Our teenage kids really enjoyed this tour as well. I loved the. concept of ordering and paying for what we want to eat without having a preset menu. 100 percent recommend this tour!

10 Tapas Cooking Class Experience in Madrid with Sangria

JT_J, Apr 2026

Fun and informative.

This is a fun activity suitable for families, friends, couples, and solo travelers. The menu includes 10+ popular tapas, including salmorejo (chilled tomato soup), garlic shrimp, tortilla espanola, and fried calamari sandwich. There is something to accommodate most diets from vegetarian, pescatarian, and carnivores…I would check if you or someone you know is vegan. The format of the class is very informal, with dishes assigned to individuals or teams. Guidance is provided to keep things on course. Together, the class will produce a buffet meal of the 10 or so tapas, then eat together at the end. There is not a lot of demo, nor will you make all 10 dishes yourself, though the recipes will be emailed after. You can also purchase their cookbook, written in both spanish and english, for about 22 euros. You will leave the class full and better informed about the tradition of tapas. The location of the cooking school is also ideal for a post-class stroll through the shop district near Sol.

Mario plus tapas equals a fun night!

This tour was fun from start to finish! Mario was a most excellent guide-he filled the time with the history of Madrid and made the tour feel like hanging out with friends. The food was delicious. We never felt rushed, loved that each place we stopped was ready for the group with a place we could sit, eat, and get to know the other people in our group. Would recommend this tour to anyone new to the city and would definitely recommend Mario as your guide.
