Loved this tour. James was a great guide and so knowledgeable about Spain, Madrid and the tapas culture. We had a small group and all got to know each other well. I thought this tour might drag given the late finish but it went really fast due to James and the other people on our tour.

This was great!!! Our guide, James, an expat Scot was fantastic. He was funny and above all--very informative about Madrid. We ate so many different tapas 10-15 at least plus sidra and wines. I can't begin to say how much fun we had walking around Madrid seeing Madridlenos enjoying their traditional evening entertainment of stopping at bars, socializing, enjoying great food.

This was an excellent experience and definitely worth doing. Unfortunately it was torrential rain which could have spoiled it completely 3 people didnt turn up because of the weather but our guide, James, made it a good night. He had a loud deep voice which meant that as we walked along we could hear him clearly. The tapas ordered was varied and ,although I personally didnt like it all, was great to give it a go. James pointed out a number of things that we certainly wouldn't have found out for ourselves about traditions etc. We visited 4 places and sampled different foods in each one. Only the first stop price is included in the price but James organised food and drink in the other 3 and we all put in enough money to cover the cost. This suited us and worked well and wasnt expensive. We manage to find our way back to one tapas bar for our last evening and got great food!!

Our trip started in Madrid and I wanted something that introduced us to the city, it's food and culture. What better way than a food and drink tour. This was a perfect choice. Our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable of the city. She made us all feel very comfortable and our group meshed well together. The bars were very typical in my opinion but crowded. The food the she made for us were awesome and there was more than enough to go around and then some. Would recommend this tour. Thank you

This was the most fun that we had in Madrid. Our tour guide Miriam was THE BEST. She paid close attention to every person in the group, made sure that everyone was comfortable and being served what they wanted when they wanted it. Our group was a very nice size - 11 persons - and every one was so great - we had time to chat and learn about where everyone was from, where they were headed next, etc. It was a great social event, but even more so, Miriam taught us about North and Southern Spain, how the food and drink in each place differs, how to be aware what type of bar we were in and how to order accordingly, etc. She brought us to places that we would have never thought of to go, and had us try food that we would have never known to try. We LOVED it and stayed out past the final stop, our guide had to head on her way long past her required job time! and we had the extreme privilege to enjoy time with one of the couples on our tour the next evening whilst we were both still in Spain. We made friends that we hopefully will keep forever! A WONDERFUL introduction to Madrid's city center. HIGHLY recommended. Miriam was the BEST.

James was the best possible guide we could imagine for this fun Tapas Tour in Madrid. Do it your first night there so you can get a culinary overview of all the possibilities in this beautiful city. With 7 people total we were able to socialize, relax and enjoy great wines and tapas

A big part of my first and so far only trip to Spain's success can be attributed to our guide Miriam, a native who led us on a brisk, informative, and fun tour of some tapas bars in and around the Puerta del Sol. As a novice solo traveler, I knew joining a group for some activity would be recommended, and I was not wrong.

Interesting.
Review by: Michael F, March 2018
I had an enjoyable night. The tour is a great way to meet like minded people. I was travelling alone so it was good to meet some different people._br/_ Charlie our guide was fantastic and a good laugh. It was a good fun night out, plenty of alcohol - I don't think the tapas food was that great. But maybe that's just me.

Our tour guide was great and the food was great. We knew in advance that we would have to pay after the first stop. On previous tours we took we were charged individually and we paid by credit card. It was an unpleasant surprise when we were told were paying communally and had to pay in cash. We had to scramble to find an ATM. First, we had to pay 20 euros each. We were told that we would probably get some money back. Later we were told we had to pay an additionally 10 euros each because it wasn't enough. I think part of the problem was the tour guide ordered too much food. We left a lot of food behind at each place.

So glad we picked this tour! Our guide was from the UK but showed us Madrid like a native. So worth it!! Long night but you won’t realize it until the night is over.

My friend had warned me Madrid might not be great for a single traveler since everyone goes in groups. Whether or not he was right, this was a great way to do tapas my first night in Spain. James our guide made it great by getting everybody introduced. Lots of food and drinks. Very much worth it.
Review by: mbtchitown, February 2018
Great tour with a wonderful guide who took us to 4 tapas bars from the different regions of Spain. The price included the first bar and then we chipped in 20 Euros each to cover the remaining bars. We had enough to cover all and some to spare. I highly recommend the tour for those who want an introduction into this culinary adventures of Madrid.

Awesome experience!! Must do in Madrid
Review by: Vincenza S, February 2018
Where else but in Madrid would you find a Museo del Jamon. This was a great tour to meet some like minded people, share a drink and explore the EPIC tapas scene in Madrid. So many places, so many unique dishes to try.

Review by: Michael E, January 2018
Well worth the money. A great thing to do on your first night in Madrid to get familiar with old town and some customs. James was lots of fun and knew his stuff a Brit with 23 years in Madrid.
