My wife and I went on this tour on our first night of our 12 day trip to Spain. After an afternoon jetlagged siesta, we met James and the group in Puerto del Sol. We went to four different spots, trying a variety of great food and drinks. James was a wonderful host, providing us with tips about the Spanish... More

We went on this tapas tour on our first day in Madrid in late April. James was our host for the evening. He was interesting and kept the whole group entertained. Although he doesn't claim to be a historian, he certainly knows a lot about Madrid and where to get good tapas (obviously). James took us to four tapas bars,... More

We did this tour on our first night in Madrid, and it was a great exposure to the central city and the tapas culture. We visited four establishments between 8 pm and midnight, and got some tour guide tips as we walked from place to place. At the beginning of the evening we all chipped in 20 euros and our... More

I found this tour via Trip Advisor and because of all the good reviews decided to book, and it definitely lives up to its stellar reviews. My fiance and I went on our second night in Madrid (used our first day to get acclimated to the time change). James is great- tons of personality and loves what he does. He's... More

We had a GREAT time with James! His knowledge about true Spanish food, wine/beer, and local customs is unsurpassed. Each of the restaurants we went to had different food/drink offerings and ambiance but we loved them all. Be sure to come with an open mind to TRY EVERYTHING!! What's the point in signing up for an "Adventurous Appetites" tour and... More

By all means, DO THIS!!! (although think twice about doing it on your first night of arrival in Spain as the jetlag will definitely hamper you plus it will be a late night out). Paul was excellent and did a phenomenal job bringing us to some of the best places. It was a nice group of 8 people and we... More

If you can arrange this tour on your first night - it is a great way to learn how to eat in Madrid. Unfortunately, we did it our third, but it was still well worth it. I consider myself a 'foodie', but the locals are a bit aggressive and can be a little intimidating - especially for Tapas. Adventurous Appetites... More

Anyone that is not familiar with tapas and their use in Madrid will really like this tour. Unfortunately, I went with my parents to Madrid and they were already familiar with tapas. Also, we had already gone through all the main sites that the tour guide took us to. So, we ended up walking to a lot of the places... More

Eight random travellers meet in Puerta del Sol and Paul shows up, promising big times ahead. Not an idle boast. We thought this might be a little over-priced, but trading really great times for a few bucks is always a positive thing. Paul's English was perfect (from Ireland, but still understandable), and his Spanish approaching near fluency. Years of experience... More
