Tapas and history tour through old Madrid

Explore the streets of the Spanish capital with a local guide. Learn about Madrid's history and cuisine while sampling traditional tapas in trendy spots. Try garlic shrimp, chorizo, croquettes, patatas bravas, mushrooms, churros, and much more. Visit top attractions such as Puerta del Sol, Plaza Mayor, and the Church of San Ginés.

Start your tour with a local expert on history and gastronomy at some of Madrid's most popular tapas bars. You'll visit the same places the locals frequent, searching for traditional tapas like garlic shrimp, sliced tomatoes, fried chorizo, patatas bravas, mushrooms, and more. (This is just a sample of the tapas you might try that afternoon.) You'll also have the chance to try a delicious chocolate dessert with churros.

You'll also pass by iconic Madrid landmarks such as Puerta del Sol, Plaza Mayor, Plaza de la Villa (the old town hall), San Miguel Market, the Habsburg Quarter, and the Church of San Ginés. During the tour, you'll learn more about Madrid's history and the tapas tradition, and you can ask as many questions as you like.
