The 8 Best Tapas Tours in Madrid

1.Small Group of Prado Museum Tour & Optional Tapas

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 2,437 reviews · 1.5 - 2 hours · from $53Our pick

Review of Madrid’s Prado Museum tour with skip-the-line entry, expert guides, major masterpieces, and optional tapas tasting.

“The tour was superb. Our guide was knowledgeable and shared a plethora of interesting information about the Prado and the works we viewed. I think it would be too overwhelming to take on this tour on your own. The guide met us in the square outside the museum, near the Goya statue, easy to spot with an IBE umbrella! The 90 minute tour was worth every penny!”

I enjoyed his stories, his wine expertise, and his clear enthusiasm for Spanish food and drinks. I also appreciated his recommendations for Madrid and Bilbao. The Bilbao bars were terrific.”
