Walking Tour to Madrid Experiencing History, Food, and Fun
Overview
Available languages
3 hours 30 minutes
Mobile ticket
Come with me on a intimate tour with a nice mix of history, architecture, fun anecdotes, a few jokes and really, really, tasty food.
We'll start at the Plaza Mayor and then make our way through the old town, stopping at a local market to enjoy some entrees and drinks. Then continue our historical journey through the most ancient and interesting parts of the old town, to finally end before the majestic Royal Palace.
After putting aside the history we’ll finish the tour at a really classic local restaurant where you'll get to taste different, mouth-watering food and local drinks.
Of course, aside from the food goodies, we will get an opportunity to chill, know each other better and share some laughs.
I want to make you feel as if you're walking through the city with a bunch of friends but one of them happens to know a lot about it and is more than willing to share the knowledge with you!

5.00Abel created an amazing tour, with a perfect blend of history, engaging storytelling, and delicious tapas and drinks. We stopped by two food establishments, a bustling food market and a restaurant, both highly respected and established places. There was a delicious cocktail at each stop (juice or water available to non-drinkers). We had huge charcuterie platters to share at the market (assorted cheeses, meats, olives, bread, etc.) and yummy local sausages and garlic mushrooms with bread for dipping at the other place. Got a quick private of the Botin, the oldest restaurant in the world! Do not hesitate to book this tour.
Wonderful !

5.00This was one of the most enjoyable few hours that I have spent, walking around both usual and unusual Madrid locations with Abel, a most charming and engaging guide. He had our small group participating in the learning experience while knitting social relationships. Just a really uplifting experience.
