At €18 per person it is the cheapest evening activity in our Madrid catalogue. - **Madrid Private Food Walking Tour with 6 or 10 Tastings** — A private three hour food walk with six or ten tastings depending on the option, patatas bravas and tortilla among them, led by a multilingual local guide. The 4.55 rating sits below our shared-group Madrid food walks, a fair flag at €86 per person. - **Madrid Old Town & Royal Palace Walking Tour Skip the Line Ticket** — A 2h 10m package pairing a guided old town walk from Calle Mayor with a skip the line Royal Palace visit, radio guides included, at €36 per person.
