Amazing touring experience in Madrid and super energetic guides
The walking tours and the classy fleminco show were amazing. The best part of it was Tapas and pub crawl. Our tour guide Amanda is just a bundle of energy and made us just keeping rocking the dance floors all night. Thank you girl for such a great love and energy.
Response from the operator: Thanks for your review, we really appreciate how you describe our amazing Amanda, there´s no way to describe her better than pure energy. We hope to see you soon for another adventure.

One tapas place and not three as written in advertisement
The first take you to Flamingo bar which is about 20 minutes walking from meeting point... and then after the one hour Flamingo show in which no drink or food is included, they take you back near to meeting point for one drink and two appetizers. There isn't three stops for drinks and tapas like it was promised. You will leave this tour unsatisfied and hungry.
Response from the operator: Hi dear, we do apologize that you didn´t get what you expected. We really take seriously giving our travelers the best care and experience, so we took a look at your reservation. You described the tour "Tapas and Mysteries" but you booked "Tapas and Flamenco". -You joined the "Tapas and flamenco tour": One flamenco show, a drink with shared tapas dinner in a bar and the Pub-Crawl. (3 - 4 pubs and the club, one free shot in each pub, free entrance in each place and the 2 - 3 eur discount on the drinks). -The tour that you describe "Tapas and Mysteries" but didn´t join, includes "mysteries stories about Madrid, stopping at 3 bars and having one drink in each bar" (cider in one bar and beer or wine in the other bars) and the Pub-Crawl (3 - 4 pubs and the club, one free shot in each pub, free entrance in each place and the 2 - 3 euro discount on the drinks). To be able to book this tour the minimum number of people is 6. It looks like that when you selected the tour you misunderstood the names of them. If you really would like to try the tour that you described before, you are more than welcome to join us at any time. :)

Walking Tour and Pub Crawl
This was an excellent tour, we met a whole bunch of people that were ready to do things afterwards with us. Our tour guid Ramses was amazing, he knew a lot of information and really related to us. We wanted to hang out with him more after the tour. The tour was an awesome way to start the trip and get an overview of the city.

Amazing walking tour!
The walking tour was amazing and our tour guide was well informed of the history of the city. Ask for Ramses if you do the tour, he gave my tour and he did an amazing job! Must recommend for anyone visiting Madrid.

Why this scores 58
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Madrid Tapas and Mysteries Walking Tour with Private Option: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Madrid.
How much does Madrid Tapas and Mysteries Walking Tour with Private Option cost?
+
Prices start at $102 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Madrid usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Madrid Tapas and Mysteries Walking Tour with Private Option take?
+
Plan for about 5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Madrid is not rushed.
Is Madrid Tapas and Mysteries Walking Tour with Private Option worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 14 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Madrid, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Madrid Tapas and Mysteries Walking Tour with Private Option?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Madrid Tapas and Mysteries Walking Tour with Private Option suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Madrid Tapas and Mysteries Walking Tour with Private Option?
+
Around 5 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Madrid can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Madrid and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Madrid Tapas and Mysteries Walking Tour with Private Option start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Madrid within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Madrid?
+
On Outty we rank every Madrid experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Madrid Essential: Historic Center, Plaza Mayor & Royal Palace, Madrid Walking Tour from Puerta del Sol to Retiro Park, Madrid Oscuro: Torture, Ghosts, Crimes and Legends. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Madrid?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Madrid?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
