Beautiful and historic hotel. The rooms were a good size and the atmosphere was relaxing

Jenk’s our tour guide was fantastic. We had outstanding food and great conversation.

Sara was a great Guide who is passionate about Spanish history -and local culture.

Mario was charismatic and knowledgeable. We were there the day before the feast of Corpus Christi and got to see the town’s preparations for the festival.

Beautiful experience and passionate dancers.

Great experience. Able to see a different aspect of Spain history.

The beach is gorgeous, though you need to be able to walk several floors of outdoor steps to get there. It would not be easy to bring a stroller up or down. The outdoor pools are gorgeous but were too cold to enjoy in mid-May 2024. However, the indoor pool was warmer than most, and I happily swam there several times. The breakfast is fresh, full of variety, with custom omelets, and both indoor and outdoor seating. I liked out separate garden view suite more than our friend's ocean view suite in the main building because our unit felt more private and quiet (as opposed to a regular hotel building).

Location is superb if you don't have a car and want to walk to places. Countless awesome restaurants and shopping within walking distance as well as historical sites. We heard the train much of the time (until midnight and after 5 AM) but we became use to it, and did not find it very bothersome. The breakfast is a good quality, but it does stay busy much of the time (we often had to wait 5+ minutes for a table), and they put out small quantities of food at a time which makes you feel like you should limit yourself. The front desk staff was PERFECT at recommending restaurants for us on both occasions we asked; they also made reservations for us and called us to confirm them while we were out touring- highly appreciated.

Our tour guide, Rory, shared a lot of info on Catalan history that we would not have otherwise been aware of. We covered lots of ground and sites within the Gothic Quarter, El Born, Ciutadella Park, and the waterfront, Cycling was difficult, however, due to the large number of tourists always present in Barcelona. E-bikes we’re not necessary since there were not many chances to actually cycle much. The bikes definitely did enable us to cover more sites than being on foot though. One disappointment with this tour was that we ended at a tapas resto that was not El 4 Gats, as specified. The food and wine was very good where the tour ended, but we had to go to El 4 Gats on our own after because this was somewhere we specifically wanted to experience. I will add that our tour guide, Rory, was very helpful during the tapas part of the tour in giving all participants tips on restaurants, etc, for the rest of our trips. He even wrote them down on a little card for each group:)

This was a great experience. Guides were knowledgeable, enthusiastic and funny. The market visit was at a smaller market, not Mercat Central, which was okay. In the kitchen after we were all put to work with different tasks to make a traditional Venetian paella, and we had fun with others in the group. It’s the first time I’ve geared tomatoes! This is definitely an experience we can bring home with us to share:)

We loved this visit to Mas Oller winery. A beautiful place just to walk around. Our winery tour was really interesting with an explanation of the process from vine to bottle, and challenges they’re experiencing due to warmer summers. The tasting itself was longer than expected (which was fine!) with generous samples of each wine ( if I recall it was 5 in total). One of our party decided not to finish all their samples because somebody had to drive after! We had fun with some other people on the tour as well.

Unfortunately we didn’t do this activity. The hour long drive to catch the boat, and again at the end of the day, combined with an early start, was more than we felt we were up to in the moment. We had been quite busy and we were enjoying this relaxing part of the trip in the Costa Brava One of our party also hadn’t been feeling 100% just previously and we were taking it slowly. We know we missed a beautiful tour and hope to return and try it again!

This proved to be a great, “ chill” activity for the last day of our trip. It was good to walk along The Ramblas on a Thursday morning, as our previous visit there was on a Saturday afternoon ( not recommended!) The guided tour of the Boquera Market, again in the morning, was enjoyable. Our guide explained about different Hans and traditional desserts, suggested where to buy cheese and olive oils…. For the cooking part, we made a seafood paella. We had already made paella in Valencia, but this was a different kind and so the process wasn’t the same. We took away some additional recipes to try at home. The location of the cooking class was in a lovely Barcelona flat above a busy square.

Black mold in the shower ; light bulbs burned out ; a broken lamp; no towels or water glasses. Nice location but the room wasn't good

Great location. Small but pretty room

Great location Great breakfast

Beautiful venue Older but authentic feeling It is down a few alleys and without a guide we couldn't find our way out

Clean and good breakfast

Excellent location and breakfast. Room was very clean and comfortable. Love the free happy hour

Very expensive for a bare bones "superior" room Breakfast was very good

Only 1 hour. Saw the cathedral and palace from a distance. should have walked to it

1 hour show. No explanation as to how, why they did what they did.

Excellent tour!!

Guide was very knowledgeable and thorough

We walked through the market after the palace. The market repeated itself over and over again. We didn't need to see every corner of the market. Lots and lots of walking

Good your company

Lovely tour and stop at. Local winery. Lots of knowledge and information.

Amazing, adults only hotel. Beautiful hotel, good buffet, great drinks, great location!

Very nice hotel. Took about 45 min to arrive at the hotel from the airport, but the drive was amazing along the coastline. The hotel was nice, clean, beautiful surroundings, and good food!

Amazing tour! Would definitely recommend this tour to others. We saw the sunset above the clouds, and then we experienced stargazing like I've never seen it before. Definitely a once in a lifetime tour.

Perfect day with our awesome, private tour guide. I would definitely recommend this tour. Our guide took us all over Lanzarote, and explained to us all about the volcanoes as well as the vineyards. He even stopped at a couple different beaches at the end of the tour so we could see those sights. He packed us a delicious, local to the Canary Islands, picnic lunch which we enjoyed in a lava tube!

This activity was a blast! We took a short ferry ride to La Graciosa were we were able to explore on our own for about an hour. Then we boarded a catamaran and sailed around the island, stopping for lunch and a swim. This was a perfect day that I will not forget!

These five stars are a direct result of our tour guide, Lina. She was given a tricky assignment - to show us Tangier in three hours or less. She wisely kept us in the old quarter - not only did this mean we were able to see some historical sites and visit some local artisans without spending precious time covering long distances, but this is also where she grew up, and therefore where she was most familiar (and recognized!). Lina was warm, engaging, and knowledgeable about her home neighborhood and the history of Tangier. We had lovely conversations as we meandered the winding streets and somehow left as the proud new owners of two Moroccan rugs.
