Food tours in Madrid split into tapas walks and cooking sessions, and this page carries both: 49 tours picked by hand, each rated 4.5★ or higher by travelers who ate their way through them. The tapas tours run 9 to 20 tastings across the Habsburg quarter, La Latina and the Literary Quarter, most sized to replace lunch or dinner with drinks included; a €52 street food walk starts inside the San Miguel market, and paella classes run from €47.40 with sangria poured while you cook.
Numbers worth checking before you book: drinks per stop vary from one to four, markets close on Sundays which reroutes the market-based tours, and children under 4 cannot join some evening walks. The best reviewed Madrid tapas tours and food tours come first below.
