★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 345 reviews · 4 hours · from $100Our pick

Cook paella or tapas in Madrid with a chef-led class, sangria, recipes, and (for paella) a market visit, all in 4 hours.

“Loveee the combination of going to the market prior to the cooking class. It added a richer experience about the local food and culture. The workshop was well prepared and paced. The guide was given stepwise and suitable for all levels. Participants were fully involved in the process, so it was really hands-on and not only observing what the chef did, yet still resulting to perfect dishes at the end. Super recommended!”

“Wow - what can I say about this tour except it could be the worst part of our trip to Spain. In theory it sounded like a perfect tour but we had a less than enthusiastic tour guide, Anna. As another member of the tour group put it, “I know she isn't dead because I can see her lips moving.” In the past on Viator tours we are allowed time to explore the city a bit on our own but this was not the case in Toledo and it seemed like the most important stop was the factory selling jewelry on the way out. Note, you will not see the…”

“We were looking for a convenient way to get to know Madrid and to understand it's history and local life at the start of our 5 day visit. Enrique met us at our hotel and the tour and education he provided us far exceeded our expectations. He is a passionate historian and Spaniard! We especially liked being shown the differences between the tourist Madrid and the real Madrid. We stopped for a drink and Tapas at the Mercado de la Cebada, a local market. This was one of the best walking tours we have ever been on, and we would highly recommend it to all.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 17 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $275

Private 4-hour Madrid highlights plus Prado Museum guide, from Plaza de Oriente to Retiro Park, ending inside the Prado.

“Truth be told, we loved the Prado Museum, but the rest of the tour was underwhelming. I think we prefer to have a little more animation from our guides. It was still a lovely tour, but after looking at all of the costs to do multiple tours in each city we visited, I would probably re-evaluate what you are getting for your money.”

“Our guide Veronika gave us a look at Madrid's history far beyond what we had been able to research on our own! We learned about the political forces behind Madrid's art and architecture, and how powerful families and popular uprisings shaped the medieval and modern city. We also enjoyed churros in the historic center and a coffee at a quiet spot in La Latina, and got some inside tips on the best places to visit for a cocktail, people-watching, and other "off the beaten track" activities.”
