# Madrid Small Group Premium Tailored Nighttime Tapas Tour

**Guidekin's take:** A premium night tapas tour that adapts stops to the group: three or four bars, twelve to twenty tastings and a drink at each, well past the standard patatas bravas circuit. At €139 per person it is the most expensive tapas format in our Madrid catalogue.

## Overview

Share a sociable night full of fun, food and stories on this deep dive into Madrid’s tapas scene. This premium personalised food tour takes you beyond your standard patatas bravas and calamari sandwiches and shows you how the locals do tapas. Discover the breadth of the Spanish food scene from the classic to the more adventurous and get a unique insight into the history and culture of Madrid, accompanied by an expert guide who knows all the best places to go.

Expect to share 12 to 20 delicious dishes recommended by your guide, according to the likes and interests of the group. 

Go home with a deeper understanding of the culture, traditions, and social life that define Madrid.
