I have known and used Joanna and Insiders Travel since 2011. I would not dream of going to Spain without her expertise, knowledge and her insider access to amazing and fun experiences! Over the years I have challenged her to find different experiences and she always rises above and beyond to deliver amazing experiences which of course translates to amazing memories! During Covid lockdowns, I have been using Joanna’s talents to bring Spain to my group of adventure seeking friends. We have had wonderful and unique ZOOM’S! Can’t wait to go back and see how Joanna again in Spain! Ole!…

Have been with Joanna live and now virtually. I can not say enough good things about her and the knowledgable people she includes to go deeper into a subject.

I've travelled with Joanna on wine tasting tours as well as on a tapas tour in Madrid and now, a virtual tasting tour of wines of the Rioja region.

Insider's Travel's Virtual Experiences are the PERFECT Holiday gift! Insider’s Travel has done an incredible job pivoting to virtual experiences and providing much needed "escapes" during COVID. Joanna and the entire Insider's Team have managed to cultivate a sense of community in our weekly virtual Wine and Tapas class and have even exceeded their usual, superior customer service. If you are looking for a fun, engaging, yet intimate, experience you can enjoy from the comfort of your own home, INSIDER'S TRAVEL hosts the BEST experiences available online! You can opt for a true private experience or join a group event and meet lovely people from around the world! I am a REPEAT customer for the Spanish Saturdays events (~$30 USD per class!!). Every Saturday at 1:30 CST, Insider's Travel hosts a Wine and Tapas event with a fun, bright, and charismatic, sommelier, Raul. You get to learn about the region, enjoy a tasting, cook perfectly paired tapas, laugh, and meet new people. If you are lucky, a winemaker might even drop in on the event to say hello and share stories or discuss the wine. Great for all experience levels!…

The Insider's Madrid virtual Spanish wine tastings & tapas are the highlight of my week ... Jo & Raul guide you through the wine and tapas for a great evening of learning, tasting, quirky insights and laughter ... it's the next best thing to being on holiday. The only downside is I'm now in love with Priorat ....…
