My husband and I joined James and a group of about 10 others on the adventure of tapas tasting in Madrid. We had been in Zaragoza and Barcelona before arriving in Madrid, and tried to indulge in tapas, but it made us a little anxious and was definitely a cultural lesson we were not doing too well at on our... more

I arranged this for my 2 girlfriends and I based on TA reviews and it was the most fun I had the entire week I was in Spain. James was hilarious and the food and drink was amazing! I never felt like I had to hold back if I wanted another glass of wine or beer. There was so much... more

I went on this tour recently and can honestly say it was worth every cent! Our guide for the evening was informative, funny and relaxed. We went to four tapas bars/restaurants over the course of four hours. The concept is simple really: A multi lingual guide who knows his adoptive city very well shares tips and suggestions with great food... more

I highly recommend this Tapas tour to anyone visiting Madrid who wants to see the city and bars, guided by an expert. My boyfriend and I are pretty adventurous and usually find great places to go on our own; however, signing on for this Tapas tour was a great idea, because we were able to go to the best places,... more

We joined the very convivial James, and a small group of fellow but unknown travellors, for an evening of great fun on our recent trip to Madrid. The evening is well worth the euros as it is really enjoyable - James is great company and the selection of tapa bars very diferent to those you may find on your own.... more

My wife and I would highly recommend Adventurous Appetites to anyone wisihing to experience a slice of true Madrid culture. James balanced this tour perfectly, giving us an incredible tapas tour along with just the right amount of historical/cultural information about Madrid. We ate in the type of tapas bars that before the tour would have felt intimidating as they... more

We spent Saturday night on Adventurous Appetites Tapas Tour last weekend - and looking back - it was a great choice for the only full night we were in Madrid... We met James on Puerto del Sol at 8 PM with 2 other tourists. Over the next 4 hours, James took us to 4 Tapas places - each with a... more

Tapas are an essential part of an authentic Madrid experience. However, unless you are comfortable speaking in Spanish and elbowing your way to the bar to order, it can be a bit intimidating. That is why it was great to have someone like James there to bridge the gap. He also knew where to go and what to order. I... more

My wife and I went on the Tapas Tour in May 2009. James was our guide. He was very friendly and very thoughtful. As my wife is pregnant, there are a lot of things in Spanish cuisine that she can't eat, nor can she drink. James went out of his way to accommodate her. Also, as we were walking, if... more
