Madrid's food culture is built around the tapas crawl, moving from bar to bar for a drink and a small plate in each. The tours on this page take you through the classic areas for it, La Latina, the Barrio de las Letras and the streets around Plaza Mayor and Sol, with tastings of jamón, cheese, croquetas, vermouth and wine. Some add a market visit, a churros stop or a cooking class where you make paella and sangria.

Before you book

Madrid eats late. Evening tours often start at about 7pm or later and run for three hours, which counts as dinner. Check what is included, how many stops and drinks, and whether dietary needs can be met. Avoid booking a big lunch beforehand.
