A must do local tour with history and immersing yourself in local culture.
Amazing start of our Madrid trip. Oliver was outstanding. The history and local flare was on point. The personal tour was well worth the money. The local market, the classic tapas, the Vermouth, and local wine are picture worthy. This was a light walking tour with a lot of history and a perfect amount of food and drinks.

Exceeded our expectations!!
The experience exceeded our expectations as we learned not only about the local food & drinks, but also about Madrid and Spanish culture and even some history. Our local guide Benny is very passionate and he brought us to 4 different tapas spots where we had a tapas pairing with a local beverage at each place. We had plenty of food and drink throughout the evening so this was our dinner and a reasonable price. Highly recommend this tour!

Amazing tour, even better guide
If I could give this tour more than five stars, I absolutely would. After fifteen days in Spain, this was absolutely our favorite part of the trip. Our guide, Jaimie, didn’t make us feel like tourists. We felt like we were walking through Malasaña with an old friend. He was incredibly well prepared, knowledgeable of all the food, drinks, the neighborhood, and Madrid generally. The tour was able to accommodate dietary concerns due to celiac disease, and all of the stops on the tour were very careful while serving us delicious food and drinks. Highly recommend the tour, and definitely suggest you ask for Jaimie.

Absolutely Amazing Experience!!
The tapas and wine tour was amazing! Theo was incredible! He was informative, knowledgeable, and took time to learn everyone’s name and food allergies. Each stop we went was a little different than the last. Our group was extremely welcoming, and by the end of it our group didn’t want to leave! I wish this was longer! 10/10 would recommend!

Fantastic Family Tour with an Engaging Guide and Amazing Food in Madrid
Our guide, Alejandro, was fantastic. He was warm, engaging, and incredibly knowledgeable, and he connected effortlessly with every member of our family, including our 9-year-old and two teenagers. We completely fell in love with the neighborhoods he guided us through, and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the food. We already loved Spain and Madrid, but this experience made us appreciate them even more.

Why this scores 74
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Malasaña Small Group Tapas Tour with Wine Tasting: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Madrid.
How much does Malasaña Small Group Tapas Tour with Wine Tasting cost?
+
Prices start at €119 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 Malasaña Small Group Tapas Tour with Wine Tasting take?
+
Plan for about 3.5 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 Malasaña Small Group Tapas Tour with Wine Tasting worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 45 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 Malasaña Small Group Tapas Tour with Wine Tasting?
+
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 Malasaña Small Group Tapas Tour with Wine Tasting suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Malasaña Small Group Tapas Tour with Wine Tasting?
+
Around 16 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 3.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Malasaña Small Group Tapas Tour with Wine Tasting 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 Tapas & Wine Tour with Rooftop Views and Local Guide. 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.
What is included in Malasaña Small Group Tapas Tour with Wine Tasting?
+
Included: Special Menus - Let us know at least 24 hours prior to the tour if you have any food aller; Alcoholic beverages; Walking tour of the Malasaña neighborhood; Small Group Tour up to 8 people; and Dinner. Not included: Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Malasaña Small Group Tapas Tour with Wine Tasting?
+
Your guide will be holding a sign on the southeast corner of Calle Fuencarral and Calle Barceló just in front of the Calle Barceló exit of the Tribunal Metro stop. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Malasaña Small Group Tapas Tour with Wine Tasting offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Malasaña Small Group Tapas Tour with Wine Tasting?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
