My husband and I recently traveled to Madrid and were curious about the Botin Experience. We were a bit apprehensive about the price and were not sure whether to book it or not, We did and it was fabulous. Joanna was a wonderful tour guide with both a pleasant attitude and very knowledgable insights. The meal was delicious and plentiful.... More

Joanna and Insider's Madrid absolutely made our trip to Madrid. The Tapas Tour took us to places we never would ave known about or found. Joanna was a brilliant host for the evening. The personalized guide through Prado and Reina Sofia made the art come alive.

The three hour tour with Joanna was just the ticket during a short trip to the city. We were 8 women, in our 40s, on a hen weekend and Joanna knew exactly how to tailor the tour. It meant that we used the rest of our time there wisely, armed with local knowledge, with a better sense of where the... More

Hi Joanna, I would like to say a big thank you on behalf of all of my friends and myself.Your tour made our holiday brilliant, your knowledge of the nooks and crannys of Madrid allowed us to sample parts of the city that we would never have ventured into ourselves.

Meeting up with Joanna was the best decision we made on our trip to Madrid. She took us to the most amazing places, which we never would have even known existed without her. On top of the tour she took us on, she gave us tons of other useful information about Madrid - places to go, things to see, experiences... More

I booked this trip for my friend and I based on other reviews. I was so glad I did as we were not disappointed. Despite turning up 10 minutes late (sadly not all Madrilenos know where the El Botin is and directed us in the wrong direction!) Joanna was exceedingly gracious and welcoming which helped to soothe our nerves after... More

I arrived in Madrid alone and Joanna was fantastic in fitting me into the Botin experience. It was an amazing lunch, the history was remarkable and lunch turned into a very late lunch and a lot of laughs. After this, Joanna continued to assist me on different recommendations throughout my time in Madrid ranging from the best tapas tours, the... More

On a trip to Madrid with my aunt and uncle we registered for the Botin Experience tour and lunch. What a delight! Joanna met us outside the restaurant and we began our tour with some information about the building and surrounding neighborhood before heading inside to be warmly greeted by the staff and owners and begin our tour of the...

Still dreaming of the fantastic tapas tour with Joanna, she took us to places we would never have ventured into ourselves and she made us feel extremely welcome. Frederico was an amazing guide for the Prado and Reina Sofia and brought the artworks alive. Would recommend Insider's Madrid to anyone heading to Madrid.

Simply fantastic! We were advised to connect with Joanna at Insider's Madrid by a friend/client of mine and our first night in Madrid was delish and beyond memorable because we did the the Gourmet Tapas Tour! Joanna's expertise and insider's tips were top notch. We have referred a few friends since and recommend Joanna to anyone looking for a wonderful... More
