The Truth About Small Group Tours in Madrid: Why 7 Really Is the Magic Number

Searching for a small group food tour in Madrid?
You're not alone – more and more travellers are seeking out intimate, personal experiences that go beyond the big tourist crowds. But here’s the thing: not all small group tours are actually that small.

At Flavours of Madrid, our regular tours are designed for just seven adults. That’s what we call a truly small group – and it makes all the difference.

What does “small group” really mean?

When you search for small group tours, you’ll find plenty of results promising a “more personal” experience… with 12 or even 15 people. That’s practically a walking seminar – not a relaxed food experience.

We believe small should feel personal.
With no more than seven adult guests, our tours stay warm, spontaneous and social – just like the way locals enjoy food in Madrid.

Why 7 is the perfect number

• You can actually talk to your guide (and be heard).

• You can fit around a table, not just take turns standing.

• You connect naturally with the others, without name tags or noise.

• You don’t wait for big groups to settle – it flows like a casual outing.

Designed for people who care about quality

At Flavours of Madrid, we’ve crafted each route to celebrate the true flavours of the city – from old-school taverns to fresh, modern spots. And we keep it small on purpose.

Whether you join our Authentic Madrid tour, dive into the trendier side with Discover the Hype, or choose a custom private tour, you’ll always be part of a group that feels more like friends than strangers.
