“There [is] good Spanish food, and then there’s blow-your-mind amazing Spanish food. Joanna, my tour guide on Insider’s Madrid’s Gourmet Tapas Tour, 100 percent understood the difference. She snuck our small group into two just-out-of-plain-sight restaurants that were soaked with authenticity and tradition. She ordered us ridiculously delicious plates of traditional Spanish dishes, all of which were a few notches above the norm. Joanna was informative, friendly and welcoming. The food was out-of-this-world amazing. I honestly can’t recommend this tour enough. It’s by far the best way to experience was a real night out for tapas is in Madrid.”

“My husband and I booked a tapas tour with Insider’s Madrid for our last evening in Madrid. We were exhausted from an all day trip to Toledo and were regretting that we had booked both in the same day. But once we met Heather we got our second wind and had a wonderful time. Heather is from California and has lived in Madrid for ten years. She took us to three restaurants and the market. In each place, she was well known to the locals and clearly well-liked. She explained the options to us and then ordered 4-5 items for us in each place. We loved almost everything and even tried tripe! She also ordered great wines at very reasonable prices. We were so impressed with Insider’s Travel from our first contact with them by email. They were quick to respond and provided complete information. We were able to pay online for the tours and knew who our contacts were, where to meet them and how to reach them by phone if necessary. We had also booked a walking tour but decided to cancel because our cruise company offered a free tour the same day. Insider’s Travel responded to my request for cancellation and processed a refund immediately. I highly recommend this company!”

“Had a wonderful introduction to the food & wines of Madrid with our guide Heather. She was great company and we went to places we couldn’t have found without her. Highly recommend this tour.”
