This tapas and wine tour was well worth it even though we’ve traveled Spain in the past. Abel was a fantastic guide. The variety of tapas and the matching wine selections were excellent! Also got some insight on the local food history. Definitely recommend taking advantage of this tour.

Well worth the money. Mario was an excellent guide, informative and accommodating, the venues were great, as was the food. An enjoyable evening overall.

Overview

Taste your way through Madrid’s markets, restaurants, and stylish bars on a hassle-free food tour with tapas included along the way. Along the route, you’ll stop at three authentic local venues — including a traditional tavern and a century-old restaurant — where you’ll enjoy generous portions of real Spanish cuisine, not just finger food. A local guide will introduce you to a wide range of dishes, such as Asturian-style chorizo slow-cooked in cider, stuffed mushrooms, padrón peppers, and meat cheeks with smashed potatoes all paired with wine, beer, or soft drinks.
  • Enjoy a Spanish food tour that showcases local haunts
  • No need to stop and pay: Tastings are included
  • Choose between different daily departure times
  • Small-group tour ensures an intimate atmosphere
  • Visit 3 authentic spots — from a tavern to a century-old venue — for hearty tastings of true local cuisine

We had a great experience on this tapas and wine tour. Mario, our guide, was friendly, on time, and very engaging throughout the evening. He made the group feel comfortable right away and shared interesting insights without overwhelming us. The spots we visited were well chosen and gave a good mix of local flavor and atmosphere. Everything felt well-paced, and it was a fun way to experience different parts of Madrid. Overall, I really enjoyed the tour and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxed, social way to explore the city’s food scene.

Mackenzie_S, Jun 2026
Mario was amazing! He was truly lovely and provided an amazing experience. A bit disappointed that we didn’t follow the itinerary that was in the notes for booking (no garlic shrimp in clay pots, a huge staple and our favorite from our previous trip in Madrid). I know it was a Friday, so crazy busy and a lot of walking in between stops. We hit almost 10K steps just in this excursion. For us, totally fine, thankfully. I think it could have been quite difficult for others. Again, Mario was amazing. That said, we met amazing people, and that’s what we will remember.

Amazing wine/tapa tour

This was an excellent experience. Augustin was a great guide and had a lot of good insight into the city for first time visitor. The food was great and the portions were very well balanced so that you didn’t leave hungry.

Fun Tour in Madrid

Glenda_V, Jun 2026
The food selection for the stops was very good. We enjoyed our tour guide Mario a lot. He made the tour fun and interesting! I highly recommend this tour if you have the time while in Madrid.

High end Tapas with an outstanding guide

Mary_B, Jun 2026
Antonio was our guide and walked us through neighborhoods, stopping to give a short talk about the significance of what we were seeing. He’s very knowledgeable but didn’t overwhelm us with too much history which was perfect. The places where we stopped for tapas were in unique settings, such as walking downstairs several levels to where we were below the Plaza Mayor. The tapas themselves were quite amazing and plentiful, with stuffed mushrooms, grilled peppers, chorizo, braised beef in wine, and much more. Alcoholic offerings were included with each stop. The final rooftop views at sunset were lovely. Come hungry!

Great tour!

Trina_W, Jun 2026
Antonio was fantastic. The food and locations chosen were great. I really appreciate that. He took us to places that we wouldn’t have found on our own. The tour was a good mixture of history and culture.

Beth_W, Jun 2026
Fantastic experience! The tapas was some of the best we had during our visit, and the four tapas bars we went to each had their own unique vibe. Our guides, Mario and Augustino, were knowledgeable, kind, and fun to be around. They went above and beyond to make this experience positive for all guests! During our walks from place to place, the guides took their time to teach us a little about the city, neighborhood, and culture. They were engaging and happily answered questions and shared their love of Madrid! I would highly recommend this experience for others visiting Madrid!

Abel was our tour guide. He was very knowledgeable about the city history and the food and drinks we were served. We loved this tour! Great food and drinks! We definitely recommend this Tapas and Wine tour.

An enjoyable evening

Excellent Experience - Mario a great tour lead!

TALIA_C, May 2026
Excellent tour with Mario! We only had one day in Madrid and this experience was perfect for giving us a true Madrid Tapas and Wine with lots of history and great people in our group! It was nice to look up and enjoy the sights vs having to navigate where we’re going with a map app. Would do again when we visit Madrid.

Tapas fun with Augustin

Andrew_G, May 2026
First time to Spain and Viator is our go-to reliable booking company. We were fortunate to have met our local guide, Augustin for the TAPAS AND WINE WITH ROOF TOP TOUR this evening in Madrid. Augustin, was most professional, accommodating, personable and knowledgeable….and oh-so-adorable. He took us to fantastic restaurants with incredible tapas. Hope you’re lucky enough to explore with Augustin! Candace & Andrew (Seattle WA)

Highly recommend!

Susan_N, May 2026
Highly, highly recommend! Mario’s Madrid Food & Wine Tour was hands-down one of the highlights of our trip to Spain. From the moment the tour began, Mario made everyone feel like old friends exploring the city together rather than tourists on a scheduled outing. His passion for Madrid, its history, and especially its food culture was contagious. Every stop felt carefully chosen and authentic — not tourist traps, but vibrant local spots filled with incredible tapas, perfectly paired wines, and the kind of atmosphere you hope to stumble upon but rarely do on your own. The food was outstanding from start to finish, and Mario’s recommendations for wine pairings were spot on. We left every stop saying, “This is the best thing we’ve had so far,” only to top it at the next place. What truly made the experience exceptional was Mario himself. He was knowledgeable, funny, engaging, and incredibly personable. He shared fascinating stories about Madrid’s neighborhoods and culinary traditions without ever making it feel like a lecture. The pace was perfect, the group dynamic was warm and welcoming, and by the end of the night it genuinely felt like we’d spent the evening with friends. The rooftop finale overlooking Madrid was the perfect ending to an unforgettable night. If you’re visiting Madrid and want an experience that combines amazing food, great wine, local culture, and an outstanding guide, book this tour immediately. We would do it again in a heartbeat.

Delicious

MarlaM_S, May 2026
Our guide was wonderful. Friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. The food and drink were excellent. The final stop was a rooftop bar. That location was a little disappointing. The view was better on the opposite side of the area (where the pool is), but we only discovered it by accident.

Donna_S, Apr 2026
My friend and I took this tour our first full day in Madrid, and I’m so glad we did. Our tour guide Agustine, was very fun and engaging, was knowledgeable about the city and its food scene, and seemed to have great relationships with the restaurant management. Food and drink were plentiful, enough for a full meal when all combined. My favorite was the rooftop bar which was the final stop of the night. Highly recommend.

Augustino was AMAZING!

Laura_F, Apr 2026
This is a MUST DO! Our guide, Augustino, was amazing. He was friendly, fun, engaging, very knowledgeable and overall enhanced the experience.

Great food with tremendous guide

Rodrigo did a great job with the tour. He provided great recommendations for beverages and suggested good alternatives. We were very well fed and hydrated. Very delicious food.

Augustin was a great tour guide with lots of great tips and recommendations. Recommend this tour very good quality food.

Loved the tapas and wine!

Good tour, but not tour of rooftops.

Tanya_M, Apr 2026
I can thoroughly enjoyed this tour Abel, our tour guide was fantastic. It was great fun and the couple restaurants we went to were great. There were a couple stops for history, which was good and interesting. . I would not call this a tour with rooftop views at the end you end at a rooftop, but it is not a tour of rooftops with wine and tapas. .

I expected more based on...

Mindy_B, Apr 2026
I expected more based on prior reviews - the tapas were good but I expected a more engaging experience. The guide was nice but I didn’t feel like I learned much and wasn’t clear was the particular stops/restaurants were chosen.

Nice tour but limited food options

LaChandra_W, Apr 2026
Nice experience but if you don’t eat shellfish or pork not the tour for you. We expressed food limitation before and were told there would be other options. But was basically only given cheese and crackers as substitutions. The guide was amazing however!

Not our best tour

Dawn_W, Apr 2026
“Rooftop” was not really accurate. Only one stop was a rooftop and it was the last one. Probably would’ve been better to start with that while we still had daylight and could enjoy the view. Some good tapas along the way but not really any explanation of the wines/drinks. Also think the group was too large (17 people).

Mario plus tapas equals a fun night!

Julie_W, Mar 2026
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.

Great food and new friends!

Julie_N, Mar 2026
We had a great time on this food tour. Every stop was terrific. Our guide Mario did not steer us wrong on drink recommendations and we ended the night feeling like our tour group was our new friends.

We loved our tour guide!...

Josefine_K, Mar 2026
It was a fun and informative way to learn the culture and the history of the city. We had plenty of amazing food and wine. Our guide Augustin did a wonderful job. He was able to give us the exact recommendations we were looking for. Throughout the duration of the tour he kept us laughing and having good conversations. In all it was the perfect way to spend our evening and we owe that to our guide!
