Spain Travel Agents

I enjoyed three very full days in Madrid and four mofe relaxing days in Barcelona arranged by Hector Molina at Espiritu Travel. The hotel in Madrid, las Meninas, was small and very attentive, located in the center of the historic sector. I had excellent guides, Geza for a walking tour of the historic sector, who was very well-informed about history and current affairs in Spain, and Linda for the Prado, who did an amazing job of structuring our time in this extensive collection to cover my interests, making sure to bring me to Velazquez’ Las Meninas, and pointing out that Picasso, whose museum I visited later in Barcelona, spent several months deconstructing this painting. The hotel in Barcelona , Hotel Regina, was even more apt, being off the Placa Catalyuna at the top of las Ramblas, and close to transportation to all parts of the city. The guide, Adrian, drove a small group of us around the city, including the 1930s Olympic venue at Montjuic, a very informative stop at the Gothic cathedral (whose elaborate front was actually added in the 1900s), and arranging for us to have audio guides to the Sagrada Familia.

We had an incredible first trip to Spain, thanks to kimkim! They took the guess work out of the trip. Our specialist, Dalia, was knowledgeable, attentive, and accommodating to all our requests. From the hotels to the private tours, nothing disappointed—everyone was exceptional and kind. We appreciated the unique perspectives and personalities each of our tour guides brought to our experiences. Hotels were centrally located and within walking distance to a multitude of historic landmarks. The hotels were comfortable, clean and spacious, and they had amazing breakfast options. Our private driver, Marin, was friendly and provided a layer of history while on our drives. kimkim took care of us every step of the way, exceeding our expectations for our first trip to Europe. Highly recommended!

A great trip that mixes both history and nature. Thanks for putting it together for me Adam.

Hotel Helen Berger

Valencia

I stayed at Hotel Helen Bergen at a recent kimkim work trip. Lovely hotel, in a great location. The hotel is only a few block away from the main old town/cathedral, and also just a few steps from the main shopping districts, but is set away far enough such that it feels like you are in the neighborhood. The hotel is very understated, actually looks more like a restaurant at first glance. In fact most of the ground floor is the hotel restaurant, which seems to be busy for afternoon coffees, pre-dinner drinks and dinners. When ever I walked by, there were people there. The rooms were modern, and well setup. The desk is a good size to work from if you are there to work. The only complaint I would have is that the room is a bit on the small side. The other thing I really appreciate is the care the hotel put into ensuring the noise from the outside streets is well insulated. When the windows were closed, you didn't hear anything from the streets. Bed was comfortable and the team were very friendly.

Noise was an issue for me. I could hear people coming in at night when they closed their doors, and in the morning I could hear the trucks on the street.

MYR Palacio Vallier

Valencia

Outstanding location — directly off the main Cathedral square. You step out of the hotel and the Cathedral is right in front of you. Many rooms have a balcony with a direct view of the Cathedral — this is the defining feature of the property. The building looks historic from the outside. The interior is a complete contrast: glass, steel, mirrors, and marble throughout — very modern and grand. The entrance is impressive: a large glass door opens into a marble and glass lobby, leading to double marble staircases that rise to the upper levels.

Paella Cooking Class & Shopping at Mercat Central

Valencia

What a fun experience! Our guide/master chef Juan was super fun. He was able to keep it easy to follow, and also helped the group really get to know each other. The Paella was delicious, I can't want to try this with my family.

Private Albufera Trip with Tapas & Wine

Valencia

Very relaxing, and a beautiful way to see the lagoon. The trip for us was all about the sunset, they put us in a small boat with a bottle of wine, and tapas, and took us into the middle of the lagoon, we were able to just relax and enjoy the view and the food & wine.

Beatriz at Espiritu Travel put together a wonderful trip and itinerary for our trip to Tangier and Andalucia in Spain. The selection of hotels was amazing and exactly what we were expecting. The hotels were always in the city center close to touristic attractions and dining. Our guide and drivers were friendly and helpful, our guide Delfina at the Alhambra was very sweet, knowledgeable and accommodating as we couldn't find a taxi in the pouring rain and arrived late. The Caminito del Rey hike through the gorge was the highlight of our trip.
Our only complaints were the noise outside our hotel in Tangier, our room was on the first floor overlooking the Petite Socco and the noise level kept us up during the night. This is a busy section of the Medina in Tangier and would have preferred a room away from the street. However, the room was authentic and very pretty. These was also a little confusion regarding our rental car access to the historic district of Grenada, we would have appreciated more details regarding getting through the check points. Overall the itinerary and activities were well planned and thought-out, thank you to Beatriz and her team for putting together a great trip, we would consider using KimKim and their specialists for our future travels. Thank you.

My family of 5 had a magical week in Barcelona thanks to the Kimkim team!! All of our travel logistics were well planned and thoughtful, with plenty of details that answered any questions that came up for us along the way. Our accommodations were perfect for our family and the staff there so kind and helpful. We loved all of our tours, but Julie with our kid centered tour of the Gothic Neighborhood was the star of the week. She really connected with our girls and made exploring the city so fun for them.
Julia planned tours that really fit our vibe as a family and our goals for the week. We got to sail along the coast, tour Park Guell, La Sagrada Família, and ended our trip with a grand finale tour of Casa Batllo with music and drinks/snacks on the rooftop terrace! I’m so happy to have found Kimkim. We would have loved Barcelona regardless, but we wouldn’t have been able to experience everything we did (with no planning stress!!!!) without Kimkim.

Our guide really connected with our 3 girls and encouraged them to lead a bit of the tour. Julie played games with them, answered all of their many questions, let them try local candies, and shared local history and traditions with them in a way they really connected with.

We learned history, local traditions, and got to really connect with Barcelona. My girls referenced things they learned from this tour the rest of the trip!!
