Tapas · TAPAS BAR CRAWLS
No history lecture, no museum stop, just the bars. The 15 crawls below are compared on how many stops, how much food arrives at each and whether the drinks are counted in the price.
Spend three hours walking between four Seville tapas bars with an English-speaking guide such as Rosie, Colin, Anna, or Jason. You will sample 10 tapas, dessert, and four drinks while learning how local food and customs fit into Seville life. The menu is arranged ahead, so strict vegetarians, vegans, and severe gluten allergies should choose another tour.
“Anna was fantastic! Great tour, lovely food and drink”
Spend about three hours moving through four Seville tapas bars with a guide such as Colin, Rosie, Carlos, Jason, or Anna. Expect 10 dishes, Spanish drinks, dessert, local stories, and stops beyond the main tourist streets. The menu is fixed in advance, so declare allergies when booking.
“Friendly and knowledgeable guide. Too full after the tour ended. It came with dessert and a variety of Spanish alcohol for us to try. For those who do not drink, there are non-alcoholic choices too.”

Meet your English-speaking guide at Malaga’s CAC and walk between four local bars, tasting 10 tapas and four drinks over three hours. Guides such as Betsy, Gaël, Milady, Heather, and Andrea are known for warm hosting and useful food and city tips. Adults only, with limited vegetarian options.
“Gaël was an amazing guide for our tapas crawl. He helped fill in the missing gaps in our knowledge about the tapas and Andalusian cultures. We started on time and visited several tapas establishments that represented a variety of cultures from Cadiz to Malaga. This was our best tour over several weeks and was a great value.”
Meet your English-speaking guide in Plaza de la Villa for a three-and-a-half-hour food walk through central Madrid. Expect San Miguel Market, La Latina taverns, calamari sandwiches, croquettes, Madroño liqueur, Spanish wine, and dessert. Groups are capped at 12, with guides such as Patricia, Andrea, José, and Daniela.
“We did this tour on our first night in Madrid, and our tour guide, Aafke, was exceptional! She had a passion for the local culture and made many great suggestions for things we could do in Madrid during our stay. The tapas and drinks were excellent. This was the perfect way to explore downtown Madrid!”
Spend about two and a half hours tasting Madrid favorites across four local stops in Chamberí. Expect Iberian ham, croquettes, calamari, chorizo, Manchego, vermouth, beer, wine, and sangría, with guides such as Alberto, Amara, Ioanna, and Raul adding food stories and neighborhood context.
“Great Food and People! Enjoyed all 4 stops and it was clean, efficient, and interesting. Off the tourist area, got a flavor of local Tapas spots. Highly recommend!”

“Betsy was our guide and she made the whole adventure perfect. We were a small group but by the end of the evening, we'd become friends. Betsy has an amazing ease and obviously had good relations with all the restaurants and bar owners. That speaks very highly of her.”
Meet your guide at Milan’s cocktail bar at 8 p.m. for a four-hour, adults-only night through Barcelona’s Gothic Quarter. Expect several bars, a club, and possibly a hidden speakeasy such as Monk. Guides including Jordan, Rosi, and Jardel may lead the evening, but the route and group size can vary.
“I had a bad experience, wouldnt do it if I could go back in time... I arrived to the tour and found out we were just 2 people - me and one other girl. Than the guide told us we will start with 2 hours in one bar (that had open bar plan for 20 euros)... we never got there any free drink, I had to pay on my own beer... tha n set there while the bar was packed with soccer fans watching a game. After about 1 hour I got sick of it and left... I didn't have to buy a tour in order to find a bar…”
Meet your English-speaking guide outside the Centro Federico García Lorca, then walk between four Granada bars for tapas, beer, wine, and dessert. Guides such as Emma, Juan Miguel, Hadrien, and Ana lead a small group through local food traditions, with enough food to replace dinner for many people.
“This tapas tour was wonderful, our guide Juan Miguel is delightful and knowledgeable. He obviously has a love of Granada and its tapas offerings. I learned about other tapas that were delicious and will add to my repertoire of tapas that I will order in the future. Our group was fun and enjoyable and we continued on our own when the tour ended. I highly recommend this tour!”
Spend about three hours walking from Valencia’s historic center to four local bars and restaurants. You’ll share 10 to 12 tapas, taste four wines, beers, or local drinks, and learn about dishes such as esgarraet, titaina, cocas, and mistela from an English-speaking guide such as Victor, Ghita, or Andrea.
“The guide was not engaging at all, one of the fellow guests was asking the "get to know you" questions, while she was aloof and absent. What little time she did engage on the walks, were with certain people and not the group. The food selections were not good at all and we experienced much better food by eating at random places. We feel you go on a tour like this to get to know the local cuisine, but that was not even close to what our experience was about.”
Meet at Plaza Romanilla at 7:30 pm for a three-hour English-language food walk through four local venues. Guides Emma and Juan Miguel lead you through about ten tapas and four drinks, from cured ham and seafood to stews and cheesecake.
“This tour deserves more than five stars! Our guide, Emma, was fantastic! She spoke excellent English and was extremely knowledgeable about Granada and the food scene here. She also gave us very helpful advice about things to do in Granada. The food and drinks at every single stop on the tour were fabulous. I highly recommend this tour. I’ve done food tours all over the world and this one was one of my favorites.”

“Great way to kick off a short stay in Barcelona. Christina was a very friendly and knowledgeable host. We sampled sweet and savoury treats with one of the highlights being a visit to Santa Caterina Market and the Iberico ham and rose cava. If you want a nice way to feel at home in the city, then this tour is a great choice.”
Meet your English-speaking guide, possibly Boris or Daría, near the Molino Theater for three hours of Catalan food, local drinks, and small-group bar hopping. Expect 10 to 12 tapas, 4 to 5 drinks, duck croquettes, Catalan stew, and modern dishes rooted in local cooking.
“Daría was an excellent guide full of historical knowledge. The whole experience was a lot of fun. We also made new friends I would highly recommend Daría”
Meet at Madrid’s Bear statue in Puerta del Sol for English-language tales of lovers, criminals, and kings, followed by tapas in three bars, Spanish drinks, and a pub crawl through three or four bars and a club. Juan Carlos and Sanya have led especially memorable outings.
“Quite disappointed that I was the only one on the tour. Sanya, my tour guide spent most of the time on her phone messaging her boyfriend. I suggested she refund me so she could spend evening with her boyfriend. Very unprofessional.”
