Our take

If you're a beer drinker and fancy something beyond the usual caña, this tour fits the bill: four Malasaña taverns, Spanish craft beers and each bar's signature tapa, with a guide who knows Madrid's beer scene well. It costs about €85.50 per person and needs at least two people per booking. That's more than doing it yourself, but you don't have to hunt for the bars and you'll have had dinner by the end. It runs in English.
