Espíritu Travel

It was a Hilton Garden Inn. Good for the night before travel. shuttle every 15 minutes to the airport. Not much airport traffic noise

Fascinating to be here. Location was right next to the old city and had a peaceful garden surrounding the villa. Hostess was wonderful, especially when she saved a little breakfast for my sleepy granddaughter!

Well located business-type hotel right next to the old part of Bari. Comfortable.

Wow! great place with fabulous ambiance! Loved seeing the construction of a modern hotel in old caves right in the middle of old Matera.

Very pleasant place away from the crowds but within walking distance of all the shops, restaurants and activity

Very nice once inside. the street entrance was not well labeled and took some scrutiny

Great fun to move around with the golf cart. The guide was on a Segway, and had grown up in the town. He had wonderful stories and experiences to share. Have the transportation made is possible to see just about the whole area in the 3 hours, as well as stops for a little shopping and lunch. Lunch was at a local's home, with a cooking demonstration and stories about the couple who lived there shared by the guide. We were also able to see the inside of a house that had been brought up to date and was currently a residence on the Unesco side of the town, as well as a house recreating what the former residents had for living space.

Restaurant had exceptional character, and a wonderful, charismatic owner who taught us to make some Puglian dishes. Very patient with me -- I had a hard time mirroring her quick hands making orecchiette. The story of her place and strategy in having a vegan restaurant was so interesting. Having someone there to translate made a huge difference to what turned out to be a very genuine experience. Loved it!

Excellent Guide named Roberta. Very informative, very impressive to see the engineering of the place, so much more that I expected.

Excellent guide, great fun to walk around Naples

Beautiful and spacious room very close to the touristic center of Malaga. The breakfasts were amazing and the staff was friendly and accommodating.

Beautiful and spacious hotel, our room was facing the water with a beautiful view. Unfortunately we were only there for one night.

Our guide Milady was friendly and knowledgeable, she ran a great tapas tour through Madrid

This was so much fun. We enjoyed a catamaran with just 13 guests and 6 crew members. The vista was beautiful, the food and drinks were excellent (I even tried the sardines). And the staff was extremely accommodating and fun.

Relaxing river cruise with winetasting Breath-taking heights and winding roads Beautiful wineries and food Highly recommended

Highly Recommended Great Guide Fascinating information Well organized SMALL GROUP - this was a huge benefit. We saw large groups parading down the streets behind a guide with an high-flying flag. No thank you. In small group tours, one gets to meet and enjoy others in the group. In small groups you can hear the guide and ask questions as they arise. It was all very enjoyable.

I’m not certain that I would stay here again and that it is truly a three star hotel. The lobby area and the dining area were exceptional. The pool was beautiful. The rooms however, are very very poor in their furnishings. One of our rooms, even smelt very musty. But the location was wonderful. Again, the exterior of the hotel was really pretty and the staff was so kind and nice in the restaurant area. One night we even ate at the hotel and the food was so delicious. For us it was just the rooms that were terribly lacking in comfort and decor.

This is a definite five star hotel not a four star. It is beautiful inside and the staff is so very helpful. The location is perfect as well. We will definitely stay at this hotel again in the future. Very luxurious very beautiful. And we enjoyed our aperitifs before we headed out for dinner. The person in charge of the bar area was so kind and gave us beautiful history of the resort in the area. A definite asset to the hotel.

This is a very small place, but the staff is so kind and helpful. It is very peaceful, although a bit out of the way from the center of Perugia. If you are looking for a peaceful, quiet, clean place to say I would recommend this holiday house for sure.

Truly, one of the most beautiful hotels we have ever stayed at. The hotel staff was exceptionally kind and helpful. The location was terrific and the hotel itself simply beautiful. We will definitely stay here again when in Rome.

If I could get this experience more than five stars I would. It was just the best day that we’ve ever had in a long time. The boat crew showed us so much and also made us laugh. It was just a really happy fun easy day. The stops were great in Amalfi, Positano, and another area which name escapes me that is where we stopped for a very authentic delicious lunch. If you’re looking for a wonderful day on the Mediterranean please look no further than this boat trip. I cannot recommend it enough!!

Another wonderful tour with Liv tours! Our tour guide was exceptionally knowledgeable, showed us the off, beaten places. We learned so much through her about the city of Florence. Would definitely recommend!

Our Liv tour guide was exceptional in her knowledge! We learned so much that otherwise I don’t think would ever be possible if you went on your own or with a group. This was a wonderful private tour and we definitely recommend this tour group.

This was an amazing tour by a Liv tour guide. We were able to learn a lot about Rome and experience the Trevi fountain away from the crowds. Our tour guide was so knowledgeable and kind. I would definitely do this private tour again.

What are great, family run B&B! Lots of history, very comfortable, and located in a quiet little country town. Ideally located for visiting Monsanto. Excellent breakfast.

Excellent riad in a great location.

Great riad in the middle of the old town area. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here.

It is hard to rate this hotel! Our first impression was a five star based on the amazing reception courtyard and historic decorations and appointments! However, our allocated room was in a very poor location overlooking a noisy alley. It suffered from some sort of drainage smells for which staff had placed a noisy electric air freshener in the room and the air conditioner malfunctioned. (Our early notes indicated that we would havea pool view room - which this was not). After raising concerns with Marina, there was rapid action to shift us to a pool view room which was vastly superior to our original room. If we had had this room from the start we would have rated this hotel five stars!

Beautiful hotel on a lake in the mountains. We loved the ski lodge feel and look of this hotel! Amazing use of rough hewed wood and stone throughout. The meals were excellent! Rooms were very large and comfortable

We were a bit disappointed. Descriptions suggest this camp is set amongst the dunes and you ride camels to get there. In fact, the government moved all camps out of the dunes some time ago and now there are more than 100 camps all located on the fringes. We reached camp via a very bumpy 4x4 trip. The "luxury" camp is already starting to show its age and there was no orientation welcome to tell us what to expect. In the event, camels did eventually arrive and we had a pleasant ride into the dunes for sunset! We have previously done a desert experience in Dubai and it was far better organized and set up than this one.

What are greatly, family run guest house! The rooms are excellent and the owner is so friendly! The cook is also a family member and the included dinner and breakfast were excellent!

We really enjoyed this Riad, once we got used to the walk through the narrow, twisting alleys to the very unpretentious entrance door. Then, like so many other medina riads, it opens into a hidden world. It is inside the very large medina and we greatly enjoyed being able to wander at will.

Very nice hotel. We were upgraded to a junior suite with a large balcony. Very comfortable! Not central in city but we were more interested in exploring the island so it was ideal!

Nice location on the river but very crowded area. No air conditioning and the room overlooked an alley with little air flow into the room.

A beautifully appointed luxury hotel on the banks of the Douro River. Everything was amazing and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

A large, historic hotel with amazing views and very comfortable rooms. Our experience was impacted by large numbers of children filling pools, saunas, etc. It tends to be a family hotel with access to the nearby skinheads and mountains.

Perfect location inside the old city walls and very comfortable but a bit sterile in design given its location.

A grand old hotel in a very good location. Fantastic location near public transport.

Our team/guide were happy to let us have some extra time in Chefchaouen in the morning before heading to Tangier. We didn't walk to the overlook. Today's drive was a pretty easy trip and they were happy to check out the suggested Cave of Hercules and lookout and lighthouse for the Strait of Gibralter. The cave was a tawdy tourist spot - though with valid history... the lighthouse, viewpoint and museum at the key point of the strait of Gibralter was a great stop. Tangier itself didn't appeal.

Loved the blue and we had a fantastic guide with Hamid. He loves the city and explained the history, pointed out the wall and the remaining towers. He was able to help us find some of the quieter streets and great views then down into the main square. He was really good about helping us understand the 'blue' and yes other colours of the old city. It is a delightful place to wander with the guide and on our own early the next morning. It was kind of interesting - motorcyles are not allow in the streets of the old town... but as it was a Sunday - young locals knew the police were not about so there were some buzzing through the narrow streets... but nothing like Marrakech.

Loved the countryside we passed through, amazing agriculture, quaint towns. We also stopped at the Roman ruins and had a guide take us through this amazing remnants of city that has been uncovered. It was a bit like being in Greece... except greener.

Our guide Hamid was excellent. Very friendly, informative and helped make the day engaging in spite of it being a friday and having much of the medina and craft shops closed. We did get to see some of the ceramic work - our guide explained some of the areas where there were no staff working and got us behind the scene to see those craftspersons who were working. Though the tanneries were not working we were able to do a short informative tour on the process. The Nejjarine Museum of Wooden Arts and Crafts was also closed. Hamid provided us with a very informative and enjoyable day in Fez (plus there were no motorbikes in the narrow alleys?)

We really enjoyed the drive through the landscape and forests. We did not explore Azrou, we did see the monkeys, and visited the dead old tree. Ifrane is a beautiful city, lovely gardens and we quite liked the 'Lion of the Atlas' . Our onboard guide was much more forthcoming about the areas were travelling through which was good. We drove by the University but were told that they do not allow visitors anymore.

We did a short tour of the souks - which most were closed as it was Friday. There were a few craftsmen working and our guide took us to a trader of many items from the many different tribes that live in the surrounding area. We did not see the Tomb of Moulay Ali Cherif, the square or the large garden. We did get a great view of the oasis of Aoufous. Did not stop for photos of the dam or gorges, or tunnel. The oasis and the scenery were quite enjoyable.

The drive to Todra Gorge was a letdown.. the gorge while at one point was probably spectacular has been overrun by tourists, stalls selling the same thing over and over and trash and tagging (grafitti). On our arrival at Merzouga our camel ride didn't really proceed as described as we were transferred to camp by vehicle not camel. After a bit of confusion, a guide and several camels arrived at camp and we did get to ride out into the dunes to watch the sunset with a friendly young guide who took us out to the top of a low dune where we got off and sat relaxing to watch the light and shadows travel over the dunes. It worked out well as we were not part of one of the large groups we watched traveling through the dunes towards the many camps scatttered along the edge of the dunes and the camels climbed the dunes for us for sunset! Our guide was helpful and informative and it was a beautiful and relaxing sunset.

The best part of the day was the tour of Ait Benhaddou and the drive through the countryside. The driver was an excellent driver, his offsider the 'guide' didn't really understand what his role was at this point so was unable to answer our questions regarding the countryside we were driving through. We did stop at a viewpoint of the mountains (the required 2 hr stop for the driver). We really enjoyed the tour of Ait Benhaddou as we had a site specific guide who took us through the site and was very knowldgeable. An amazing historic site! On to Ouarzazate for a view of the remaining movie sets still standing from some of the famous movies made there. We opted not to do a tour and did not realise there was the "musee de Cinema' till after, driving straight through the town and heading to Boulmalne Dades. The valley is beautiful.

Our guide was excellent. He spoke very good english, was very knowledgeable helped us understand the amazing medina area of Marrakech. We loved the history and architecture, were very thankful for his helping us get our bearings around the winding alleyways. He was very easy to ask questions of and happy to discuss the cultural and political environment of Morocco. He also helped us skip some of the long lines of tourists at several of the areas we visited.. We were not focused on shopping so he was able to walk us through and explain some of the different areas and what and where to look for items if we decided to explore on our free day.

The Park is beautiful and the waterfalls we visited were wonderful. Our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable, loved the area and it showed. We were extremely fortunate that it was a holiday (easter) so there were not many visitors to the park pn the day, it made the experience special and a treat. We also enjoyed visiting the local village and sharing a meal. The trails are quite steep so it would not be for anyone with mobility limits... The guide and other 4 participants were much younger than us (25+ years) so we did slow them down a bit but we made it to each site! It was great to get out in the forests. The addition of a visit to the historic olive press was fantastic. Note: the guide and others often got a bit in front of us so we missed out on some of the commentary.

We weren't expecting it, but this turned out to be one of the major highlights of our trip! (12/10) An incredible evening in a superb penthouse unit with our own private chef and his informative, friendly and fun guide/assistant! We thought it would be another cooking class but we were able to sit and watch this very talented professional chef prepare a gourmet multi course meal for us - all the time sipping on readily flowing quality wine! The night was enhanced by the friendliness and humour from our two hosts! Great night and highly recommended! The tour usually includes a visit to the local markets but they closed early for the holidays - The chef went ahead and selected an amazing array of food based on our openess to trying different fppds. Fantastic.

This is a beautiful and fascinating city with much to see. We were the only tour participants which was very good. The guide was very friendly and knowledgeable, however, we think the she tried to fit too much in the time available. There is lots of up and down walking and our guide tended to try to move too fast and fit too much commentary into each stop. We greatly enjoyed seeing the city but would have preferred a slower pace with slower commentary. (7/10)

We were expecting more from Aveiro based on our reading and our request to include it in our schedule. In the end it was something of a tourist trap. Very crowded and a disapointing network of canals.

An excellent day viewing the vinyard landscapes of the famous Douro valley. The olive oil tasting experience was great, both in terms of the tasting itself and the farm host who did an amazing job with his knowledge and humour (9/10). The port tasting was interesting but not as well presented as some (7/10). The river cruise was enjyable but the boats are very crowded (7/10). The overall day was well worth doing (8/10).

We thoroughly enjoyed the tour of this amazing property where there is mixed production of a range of agricultural pursuits, including cork, in a certified organic environment. The wine tasting was excellent and the guide for our individual tour did a great job. Highly recommended.

Our driver was very friendly, and did provide a bit of an overview of Sintra however suggested one historic property to tour but didn't accompany us... the signage in the property was not good- none in English so we wandered around not understanding what we were looking at and missing some highlights. We spotted other visitors with audio headsets after we were well into the property unfortunately and didn't have time to go back. We were then rushed off and didn't have time to explore further. Cascais and Estoril were time wasted. It would have been better to focus the day on Sintra only.

We really wanted to learn more about cork, it's growing and production. This tour was great for achieving this.

We really enjoyed the restaurant, the staff, the food and especially the music.

A fascinating location, beautiful historic village. We didn't have a guide but enjoyed walking around. We were pleased our driver got us there early.

A wonderful experience. Our guide was enthusiastic, entertaining, informative and helpful. The food was pretty good also 👌 😋

The area really didn't have what we expected, though it was good to see the famous custard tarts being made.

Our guide was enthusiastic, informative, humorous and happy for questions. He gave us a wonderful feel for the old neighborhoods of Lisbon.
