A good hen or stag do in Madrid has three parts: something fun in the afternoon, dinner with a show or a tapas crawl, and, if the group is up for it, a late night. Below is everything we sell that fits, with real prices, plus the local rules worth knowing before you send the group chat a plan.

The headline plan: a party tuk-tuk with your playlist
A private tuk-tuk plays whatever music you choose for an hour and a half along Madrid's best-known avenues. The detail that makes it ideal for a hen or stag: the ride ends wherever you want in the city centre, so it can drop you at the door of the restaurant or the flamenco venue. The price is per vehicle, not per person; a large group will need more than one.
Worth knowing:
- No drinking on board. That is the operator's rule and they stick to it.
- Not accessible for wheelchairs or pushchairs.
- Free cancellation up to 24 hours before.
For mixed groups, or a group that will not do a late night
The paella and sangria workshop gets everyone on board: three hours cooking with a chef on Calle de la Montera, just off Puerta del Sol, and the paella you make is your lunch or dinner. Sangria, soft drinks and the recipes are included. Vegetarians or anyone with allergies should message the operator before the day. The host waits outside next to the doorway: do not go in on your own.
If you would rather leave the city, the family winery with a sommelier is a half day 30 to 45 minutes from Madrid, with at least three wines, snacks and transport, in groups of eight at most. With eight of you, it is effectively yours.
Dinner: tapas or flamenco
- Torres Bermejas: a flamenco venue open since 1960 next to Gran Vía, with drink, tapas or three-course dinner options. If you want to eat there, book the meal with your ticket; ordering on the night does not always work well.
- Las Carboneras: a small venue in a palace basement in Habsburg Madrid, with one drink included and wheelchair access. Tables go by order of arrival, so get there 15 to 20 minutes early.
- Guided tapas crawls: the three-tavern tour leaves Plaza de Santa Ana at 5 pm and the craft beer tour starts in Malasaña at 7 pm. Both run in English.

Night: pub crawl ending in a club
The route covers three bars and a club in the centre over five hours, with a free welcome shot at each venue and tips included. You meet at Enbabia Infuse Bar (Calle de Núñez de Arce 9, by Plaza de Santa Ana), where you swap your ticket for a wristband. The venues can change by day of the week, and guides speak six languages, handy for an international group.
- Over-18s only.
- Dress code: no sportswear; men cannot wear sandals or shorts.
- Free cancellation up to 24 hours before.
A sample day
- Midday: paella and sangria workshop (lunch included).
- Afternoon: the party tuk-tuk, which drops you wherever you are heading next.
- 8 to 9 pm: flamenco with dinner, or a tapas crawl.
- Midnight: pub crawl for whoever wants to keep going.
Rules and practical tips
- Places per booking are capped: 8 on the winery trip, 10 on the wine and tapas tour, 15 on the tapas tours. If you are a bigger group, make two bookings for the same time.
- Fancy dress: keep it discreet (a sash, a tiara) to mark out the bride or groom. Full costumes can cause trouble at the door of night-time venues, and some wine tastings will not accept participants in costume.
- Drinking in the street: it has been banned in the Madrid region since 2002. Not in the tuk-tuk, and not between bars.
- Timing: Madrid eats late. If the group wants dinner at 8 pm, book a table or a flamenco show with dinner.
- Paying: let one person book and settle up afterwards. For per-vehicle plans, split the cost within each tuk-tuk.
Common mistakes
- Turning up to the pub crawl in flip-flops or shorts: you will not get into the first venue.
- Leaving it until the week before with 12 people on a Saturday: it is easy to find no places together.
- Arriving at a tasting already drunk: operators can turn away anyone who arrives intoxicated.
