(Evening tour) 

​

NEW!!!!!

Our Aperitivo, Vermut and Tapas Tour

(Lunchtime tour )

​

Why us?

In a world that offers an increasing amount of off-the-peg, copy-cat, samey, standardized experiences,

​

WE ARE DIFFERENT AND WE ARE PROUD OF IT!

​AUTHENTIC:

  • We have been running award-winning tapas tours for over 20 years.

  • 8pm start (we do offer earlier tours, but Spanish people eat late and our flagship Madrid Tapas Tour offers you a crash-course in tapas and shows you how the Madrileños really do things)

  • Each bar we visit has its unique feel and specialty food and drink.

  • You'll try great traditional Spanish dishes from old favourites to more adventurous tastes.​
     

PERSONALIZED:

  • Our guides LOVE Spain and Madrid and transmit this, each in their individual way.

  • Our pay-as-you-go system allows us to personalize what we order according to the likes/dislikes of the group on the night.​

  • We are (probably too well-) known in all the bars and get you great service.

  • Added value – we will give you hot tips on what to see/eat/drink during the rest of your stay in Madrid and, where we can, beyond!

​COMPLETE:

  • Food, drink, history, culture, sightseeing, laughs, advice - all mixed into a fun and social evening.

  • Not heavy, learnt by rote info, but more fun and fascinating anecdotes - we don’t feel a list of dates sticks!

  • Not just bravas and tortilla, we try to expand your culinary boundaries a little...! You will be STUFFED by the end of the tour and have a great understanding of Madrid and its culinary scene!

​

GENUINE :

  • We DON’T have any commercial agreements with bars - we go there because we think they are the best.

  • We DON'T charge an all-inclusive price and then give you the cheapest food so we make more money - you control what you eat and drink.

  • We are NOT highly commercialized - our aim is to give you the best and most authentic experience we can.

  • We DO ask you to allow us to be your "friend in town" for the day and to get you straight to the heart of Madrid through its food and drink.

A Special Message from our Founder:

 

Faced with Madrid’s hugely rich food culture, it is useful to have a tapas expert on hand to point you in the right direction, and we have selflessly committed to doing a substantial and somewhat unhealthy amount of research into Madrid's food and drink scene so that we can offer genuine expertise in these areas - just for you!

 

Although we often try to book a table for our last stop so that the group can sit down and eat in a more relaxed fashion, tapas is generally done standing up, leaning against the bar. And, the sit down stop is not always possible, particularly at weekends. Bars tend to be bustling with tapas eaters, all sharing plates of food, which will enable you to try a great variety of fantastically delicious tapas in an authentic atmosphere. We want to show you what real Spanish "tapassing" is all about; so, come prepared for a bit of craziness mixed with fun!

 

We aim to offer a personalized service; so, if you have any special requests or requirements, dietary or otherwise, please let us know, and we will be delighted to do our best to accommodate them. And, while we will always try to accommodate client likes and dislikes, we will also encourage you to push your boundaries to try new and amazing things.

 

At the end of our evening tour, we can either drop you off in a bar to continue your night with an after dinner drink of a brandy, Irish coffee, mojito, caipiriñha or the like, or point you in the direction of your hotel, meeting point or transport.

 

So, find the Madrileño in you, and bring your Adventurous Appetites!

Founder and Director

COVID-19

Although most Covid restrictions have been lifted in Spain, we will continue to monitor the situation and take basic precautions including serving food onto individual plates where appropriate.
