Walk and Eat Spain

We did both the morning market tour and the evening tapas tour and had a great experience on both! Our guides were amazing and the food was wonderful. One of the things that most impressed us was that the guides have unput on the tour stops so they take you to the places they go and you meet the market/restaurant owners. I can't recommend Walk and Eat Spain enough!

During our morning food tour, we enjoyed churros with chocolate, learned to appreciate Spanish ham, tasted cheese, olive oil, and many other things that were delicious and interesting to learn about! Visiting the market was so much fun and we truly felt welcomed by the shopkeepers since our guide was known by all. Christina was such a great tour guide and we really enjoyed our time with her! We find food tours to be a great way to learn about the history and culture of a city. This was one of the best we have ever experienced!

We had such a great time on this wine and tapas tour! Our host was amazing—super friendly, knowledgeable, and full of great recommendations for the rest of our trip. The food and drinks were delicious, and the whole experience gave us a really good feel for Spanish culture and how locals eat and socialize. I’d definitely recommend doing this on your first or second day in Madrid—it’s the perfect way to kick off your trip and get a sense of the city! 🍷🍴🇪🇸

We had a lovely time learning more about Madrid, Spain and Tapas! Theo was a great guide. Loved trying the different types of drinks ie cerveza, vermut and wine as well as the different tapas. We would highly recommend. I suggest doing this early in your visit. For us it was the end but still a fun time!

Amy's tour was one of the best food tours I've been on in a decade of international travel. Though originally American, she's lived in Spain for a decade and was fluent and clearly well-liked by all the owners and servers at our stops. Our group was a perfect small group of 8 with two guides-in-training. We had Iberico and Serrano jamón with local small bottles of Mahou at a local shop. Then multiple small plates at an adorable tapas spot where I particularly loved vermut and Iberian tomatoes. Next, the red wine part of the tour! Amy told us about Spain's wine regions and introduced us all to my new obsession: sobrasada. As well, I'm allergic to milk and another guest had a gluten intolerance and we both got plenty to eat. Our final stop was a sit-down dinner in a very 70s restaurant with fun vibes and music. We had delicious white wine, razor clams, sizzling garlic & olive oil shrimp and steak. Well, I had fried fish because of my beef allergy (see, very accommodating tour!). The next day we got a list of our stops and the dishes we tried. Amy also gave personalized recs during dinner, a truly great person!

My husband and our two boys (ages 14 and 21) were in Madrid and took a 3 1/2 hour private history and eating tour with Oliver and loved it! Oliver was a fantastic guide and we had an awesome time, despite the rain! We walked around the city center, learned (just enough!) about the political, religious and cultural history of the city and made 3 different stops for food along the way including a market and 2 local establishments. We drank delicious vermouth (who knew?!), wine and sangria, tried grilled mushrooms with chorizo, which were really good (and I do not like mushrooms!), and topped off the tour with the most delicious seafood paella. Oliver was great company and I would HIGHLY recommend requesting him. You will not be disappointed. My boys also really enjoyed the tour and the food, which is a not always easy to accomplish! I should mention that I had received a recommendation for this company in Madrid from a friend who had also had a fantastic time on a different type of tour so I don't think you can go wrong whatever you choose. Thank you Walk and Eat Spain and special thanks to Oliver for a great experience!!

Fabulous tour! Oliver was personable, knowledgeable and made the tour fascinating and fun. He was obviously known by the traders and had excellent relationships with them. With the small group we were able to engage in interesting conversations and have all questions answered. I would highly recommend this tour and especially Oliver.

This was the most fun experience I did while in Spain. And I did many. The food instruction was perfect and the cultural lessons and history we learned along the way were unmatched compared to other guides I had during the trip. It was fun to be on a neighborhood that I wouldn’t have found myself but which I will Return to when I go back to Madrid tomorrow. I can’t recommend them more highly. It’s worth every penny.
