This by far was my husband and I's best part of visiting Madrid. The guides are very knowledgeable. You can tell they love what they do and enjoy exposing the food culture of Spain to tourists. They will give you even more recommendations around the city as well. Learning the history of every place they bring you to is even more special. Would recommend to anyone coming to Madrid. We can't thank y'all enough for having this tour.

Not our favorite food tour

meghan_m, Jun 2026

The tour was fun but the food wasn’t great. The atmosphere was fun however there was not much history or other information shared about Madrid. We had a good time but would not recommend if you’re looking for good food or history.

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the atmosphere, and we’re sorry the food and historical content didn’t meet your expectations this time. It’s possible something didn’t go as expected in this specific session, and we are already looking into it to understand what happened. As our strength is precisely combining great food with cultural and historical insights about Madrid. Kind Regards

Fabulous Tapas Crawl

Gloria_T, Jun 2026

WOW!!!! What a great food tour in Madrid.

Esteve_A, May 2026

We were in Madrid in Late May of 2026 and were looking for a Tapas Tour. This one was great. We were introduced to a northern neighborhood of Madrid (no tourist here) and went for a short walk to 4 different bars with tapas. There were nine of us, some were in their early 20's and a couple of 80 year olds (us!) and we ALL had a great time. The drinks were excellent and different at each place (vermouth, wine, beer, and more wine). But there food was even better. We had been in Spain for 4 weeks and this was some of the best tapas we had on our trip !

Must do your! Joanna was...

Elizabeth_A, May 2026

Must do your! Joanna was our guide and she was fantastic! Very knowledgeable and so friendly! Great tapas off the beaten path!

Wonderful guide

Joyce_R, May 2026

Wonderful and fun guide. Everyone in the group quickly made friends as we tried different drinks and food

One of the Best things we did in Madrid

Barb_C, Apr 2026

If you like to drink, eat, and make new friends, this is the event for you. The company makes sure the groups are small so it is easy to meet everyone and fit into these wonderful stops. Our guide, Ioanna, was fun, engaging, and full of information. Not only did she send our group information on other sights to see in Madrid, she included information for Lisbon as we had told her we’d be going there on this trip as well. Ioanna explained about why bars in Madrid put a large head of foam on top of the beer, how to tell if you are getting good sangria versus bad, and all about Iberian ham. A couple days later we found we were getting cheap Sangria (thanks, Ioanna).

Terrific!

Howard_Z, Mar 2026

Great tour guide. Great food. Great experience. Never would have found these place on our short time in Madrid. Gems.

Amazing way to experience Madrid

Michelle_G, Jan 2026

We had the most amazing night enjoying food with new friends we met that nights what’s great way to experience Madrid!

Great food and fun night

Erin_C, Jan 2026

Such a fun tour of the Chamberi neighborhood! We went to 4 local places with delicious, authentic tapas. The croquettes were the best thing we’ve eaten so far in Madrid. We highly recommend this tour!

Fun and tasty family activity

Jennifer_S, Jan 2026

Alberto was very knowledgeable and fun! He was also flexible with us when our plane was delayed and helped us reschedule for another night.

Fantastic night, very memorable

Laurie_H, Dec 2025

Great fun, very friendly and fabulous food. Our guide really added to the evening other guests were excellent company

Fun, easy walking, great food/drinks

Caitlyn_P, Nov 2025

This was one of the highlights of my trip! Amara was an amazing guide, so entertaining and knowledgeable! You hear history of each of the 4 stops, and are provided with a different beverage and foods/tapas at each location. Short walks between each place so it's easy to get around. These places had more of a local vibe, so I think they offered an experience that some of the more flashy/touristy places didn't have. I'd totally do this again!!

Fun food tour

felice_f, Oct 2025

Really fun experience. Our guide Raoul was very friendly and knowledgable. The food and drinks were top notch. Highly recommend this tour.

A great tour, worth every penny

Don_M, Oct 2025

Great host (Ioanna) with superb English, Tapas were delicious, drinks were perfect, highly recommend the tour. We also got lucky with a real fun crowd but would do this again in a heartbeat

I give it 5 stars!

Joe_G, Sep 2025

This was the total package. From drinks to tapas to entertainment and education, we enjoyed everything about our evening. Our guide Elberto was amazing and fun.

Fantastic food/drink tour! Very accommodating for dietary restrictions

Alex_B, Aug 2025

Alberto was a fantastic tour guide! I did the tour while pregnant (therefore I couldn’t have alcohol, unpasteurized cheese or cured/uncooked meats) and he was extremely accommodating and thoughtful even with a full group! We went to 4 official places and had about 3 tapas at each place - all of which were amazing! I was very full by the end and he even offered to get us more food if we weren’t full. He even came with us to two additional places after the tour ended and it was soooo much fun. He is very genuine and cares about showing visitors authentic and quality food/drinks. He took us to an area that was not tourist-y. Highly recommend this tour!

joseantonio_h, Aug 2025

Incredibly authentic tour experience

Callam_P, Jul 2025

Ioanna was incredible at sharing facts about food, presenting it well, while entwining it with her personal life. This made the tour really come to life and was incredibly authentic.

Must Do Especially for a Foodie!!!

Malorie_B, Jul 2025

Tapa fun

Michelle_B, Jul 2025

Went with 5 friends to experience tapas in Madrid. Had a fun trip with four stops of drinks and yummy local food. Learned about new foods I had never had yet enjoyed. Our guide joanna was super fun and helped our group get to know one another and enjoy the experience together

Great Night of Tapas and Fun!

Wendy_M, Jun 2025

Great night of tapas and drinks. It was so much fun learning all different types of tapas, history and drinks that are special to Madrid. Raul was such a fun guide and even had a special treat for us all at the end including a list of a few of his favorite places to eat. Would definitely recommend Raul and this tour to anyone who visits Madrid!

Outstanding!

Beth_M, Jun 2025

Our tour was outstanding. The food was incredible and portions made it dinner for us. Our guide was Alberto and he was fabulous and informative. I really felt like we experienced Madrid as the locals would.

Cerce was extraordinary! informative, enthusiastic about the food and culture. She really enhanced the experience!

SusanProkop, Jun 2025

We got to experience some wonderful local restaurants that we would not have encountered as uninformed tourists!

Great tapas crawl

Julia_C, May 2025

Great food and drink choices and venues, as well as, the area chosen in Madrid. Alberto is very experienced and knowledgeable food guide.

One to avoid.

Ian_C, May 2025

We have undertaken food tours in a number of cities around the world and this was disappointing. It did not get off to a good start as the guide was 15 minutes late. The food and drink was ok but not generous, and all 4 stops were within a very short distance of each other so you did not get to see much of the district in which the tour took place. The guide (Amara) was pleasant but not very informative. We had tapas and several drinks the previous evening for less than half the price of this tour.

Amazing food tour

marina_b, Apr 2025

This food tour was one of the best I have taken. Fun and full of information on local tapas culture. Each stop was better than previous ones. It got better and better as the evening progressed. Good plentiful food and spirits. But what made this experience even more memorable was the host, Amara. Fun and easygoing, she made a group of strangers gel like old friends. Great tour to introduce visitors to local neighborhood away from touristy old town. Highly recommend.

Tapas Tour

Patricia_K, Apr 2025

Great Food and People! Enjoyed all 4 stops and it was clean, efficient, and interesting. Off the tourist area, got a flavor of local Tapas spots. Highly recommend!
