Beautiful grounds and wonderful staff. Breakfast was great. However, room was the smallest and most basic. In addition, while it did overlook the garden, it also overlooked the restaurant which plays music and is fairly loud until 11pm. Might have been better in a room facing the back. Also, room was on the second floor so might be tough for some climbing stairs and carrying luggage

Very unique place, short walk to town. Staff amazingly helpful. Wine and cheese in the afternoon with Fado one day. We had a suite with external access. Quite. Beautiful

Highlight of our trip. Amazing location, quiet. Staff were super.

Hotel in need of updating. Long walk to room and from room to dining. The grounds and gardens are pretty special. Not an easy place to walk from or to the town

Fantastic hotel with the best restaurant attached. Breakfast was the best of the entire trip.

Certified guide, another Luís, who was fantastic, great driver, even took us to an local beach

The palaces were wonderful. This trip wears the only one without a certified (by Portugal) guide. The guide was very nice but seemed to be filling in for his son in law In addition, entrance fees were apparently not included for two locations despite assurances we had already paid. Kimkim was great in refunding rapidly. Thank you.

Can we give more than 5 stars? Best overall day in Portugal. Ended up joining a wine club and could have spent a few days there. Wine liver paradise. So scenic!

Walked down to the Nova Gaia and toured the Calem Lodge. Best view of Porto from across the river.

Got a lay of the town. Great certified guide

Guide was excellent. Experience was mixed at best. Aveiro is a very nice town. Highlight were the salt ponds and seeing the workers up close, Costa Nova (although empty this time of year). The town and canals not really worth it. The “gondolas” don’t go anywhere and the canals don’t even connect.

Certified guide. Really interesting regarding the university. The guide was a graduate.

Needed downtime and exploration. Added the convent de Carmo Which was amazing

Pretty fun and good to be sitting. Saw a ton of the city we might not have otherwise.

Certified guide, Rui, was excellent. Lot of walking and stapes but really helped to orient to place and history

This hotel is so perfectly located. Everything is with easy access. It is a smidge loud. Must have thin walls, but we were still very pleased with our stay.

Loved the private guide. As someone who has hearing aids, a big group would be difficult for me to hear. Our guide was very knowledgeable and passionate about Barcelona. Pace was perfect, and no lines! Our guide is also very well known among the tourist areas! We really enjoyed our time.

Guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. We appreciate all of the suggestions for dinner, etc.

The two ladies at both wineries were just lovely. Personable, knowledgeable, and so very kind.

I loved the hotel except a very weird small like mold in my bathroom. The staff , food , the view from the room , of the city, mountains and Bay was special.

The visit to the Guggenheim with a private guide was fantastic. The museum itself is beautiful, and having a knowledgeable guide made the experience even more enriching.

The Basque Cooking Experience was definitely one of the highlights of our trip. The class took place in a gastronomy kitchen, and it was a wonderful experience with just us and the chef. We cooked famous Gilda pintxos, an amazing tuna dish with jarred red peppers, a giant pan-seared steak, and this incredible brioche bread dessert. The chef was knowledgeable and engaging, and it was fascinating to learn and cook these authentic dishes. Also, the description provided earlier was inaccurate as it mentioned a bean stew, which never happened. Nonetheless, the cooking class exceeded all expectations.

The Pintxos & Wine Walk in San Sebastián was excellent. Our guide was friendly, and it was delightful to visit a variety of places sampling delicious pintxos and local wines. The group atmosphere added to the enjoyment of the experience.

We were supposed to do a Private Coastal Walk Along St. James Way, but due to poor weather and a lack of clarity in the description (which referred to it as a casual walk rather than a rugged hike), we decided instead to visit local villages with our guide. It wasn't what we initially planned, but the adapted plan was enjoyable, and our guide was very accommodating. It's also important to mention that the description is misleading when it says we will stop for a delicious lunch, as no lunch is included on this tour. Our guide made adjustments, and we ended up having a wonderful day.
