I picked Insider's Madrid because of Joanna's essay posted on her website that expresses her passion for creating authentic experiences. My family has travelled quite a bit and we love getting a real sense of how locals live, seeing the major sights but keeping the tourists to an absolute minimum. I cannot express how well Joanna did this. She loves... More

I brought a work group of 40 people here in mid April and booked a central city tour and tapas tour with the Insiders group. It did rain for our tour unfortunately but our guide was very good and brought us down some great streets which I would not have found and he had some great quirky history stories to... More

I would begin with saying this is a must do tour. Joanna who is a former English resident, runs this tour with passion and really knows Madrid inside and out. I did her Gourmet Tapas Tour which she tailors towards your preferences and away from your dislikes. She took me to places which I would have never found on my... More

This was easily a highlight of our trip to Madrid. We signed up for the gourmet wine and tapas tour and from the initial request I sent for information, Joanna was incredibly helpful and responsive. We went to four local places off the main path that we would not have found otherwise, and all were incredibly unique and held the... More

I have relied on Joanna Wivell's Botin Experience to entertain large groups of guests on three separate occasions and it only gets better. The tour is truly interesting and she is incredibly charming. She accommodates large groups and works with the restaurant to address every need and concern...including a vegan diet which can be a challenge in ham-loving Madrid. The... More

Joanna's Gourmet Tours are really excellent! I went with a friend and we had so much fun together it felt more like a day with your girlfriends than a tourist tour. Plus, Joanna knows lots of different creative people in Madrid and introduced us to everyone. She is really passionate about the city and Spain. The 80 different kinds of... More

I traveled to Spain in search of places to visit, restaurantes to eat at and great places for entertainment. I contacted Joanna at Insider's Madrid and was extremely happy with the service, recommendations and suggessions. Joanna was very professional with all the details and yet a super tranquile person with a great sense of humor. I found myself wanting to... More
