Raquel and her several assistants put together the perfect trip to Spain to see the eclipse for 8 travelers. The hotels were nice, in the center of cities, the guides were very knowledgeable, and suggested restaurants and excursions were appreciated.
We enjoyed the next trip to Barcelona for just the two of us as well. I wish we had more days to explore the city. I appreciate the effort Raquel and her team put into finding the best hotels for our budget, and the best experiences to give us a sense of how wonderful Spain is.

Amazing trip to Barcelona. Our planner Hector did a fabulous job of preparing a wonderful trip for my family when we came to Spain to watch the total eclipse. We stayed in Barcelona at a wonderful hotel (Ohla Barcelona) and loved the city. I and one of my daughters are vegan so we were thrilled to find that Barcelona is a center of vegan cuisine with many restaurants to choose from. Hector was very informative and planned a lot of great activities with great guides which included Tapa bar tour with Boris, tour of old city with Miguel, trip to Montserrat with a winery tour and tasting and a visit to the Black Madonna, our travel to Zaragoza for the eclipse, and finally our kayaking and snorkeling trip with Stepan on the Costa del Sol. We hope to come back to Barcelona again and would definitely use Kimkim again.

We took a 30-day trip to Italy in May. Starting in Venice and ending in Catania. From the initial planning - more than 6 months in advance I knew we were in good hands with Marina. For one week, my husband and son traveled with us, but the remainder of the trip it was just me and our 3 girls. It was important to me that things were as seamless/safe as possible and I hoped to not stress about our exchanges/transfers/reservations. It was worth every penny having Marina and her team take care of us. I never felt alone - we had a couple hiccups and I just reached out to the team and they helped us or handled things for us.

We wanted the trip to focus on history and special outings for us and not just seeing crowded tourist sights. Marina really listened to what we wanted and suggested several things I would never have known about. The hotels were all lovely - amazing locations and exceeded our expectations. The app and daily notes and recommendations came in handy too.

There were several times the travel team arranged for little extras for our family - like a delicious birthday cake delivered to our hotel for our daughter’s 21st birthday.

Truly an experience we will remember forever.

Our favorites:
Capri and our private guide was worth the splurge!!
My favorite - the hotel in Agrigento and the location and apartment in Florence and the team being available to help when fun travel things come up - like train strikes.
Husband - wind surfing on Lake Garda and Venice
18 year old daughter - visiting churches in Venice
13 year old daughter- the food. All of the food and wind surfing
21 year old daughter - hiking around Lake Garda and the Agrigento hotel
23 years old son - Lake Garda and wandering around Venice

Thank you so much for all the attention and planning that went into our trip

Hotel baglio della Luna
Valle dei Templi, Agrigento

The best stay of our trip. It felt like we were in our own little luxury villa. The staff went above and beyond. Dinner outdoors over looking the Valley of the Temples - we ate here every night. So special. At this point in our trip we needed to rest and recharge - it was perfect. Excellent recommendations from the staff. Only a small number of rooms so it felt like it was just the 4 sometimes

We let the front desk know we had a package coming and it was important - they refused delivery of it. It had $37 due upon receipt - we were not aware at the time. The hotel did not contact us while we were out on a hike. We had to get a private car to go pick up the package. We missed one of our planned activities and had to pay $150 for the private car. It was more the time we lost as a family together that bothered us. And that the hotel didn’t try to fix it. It was only $37 - we had 3 rooms for 4 nights. They were nice - just wish they had contacted us or paid for the package - which they had our credit card information- they could have handled it differently

We couldn’t have asked for a better trip planner than Hector at Spiritu Travel! From start to finish, Hector went above and beyond to make sure our vacation was seamless, stress-free, and truly unforgettable. He was extraordinarily patient, took the time to answer every single question we had, and even jumped on phone calls with us multiple times before our trip to walk through the itinerary and make sure every detail was covered.

The Spiritu Travel app was an absolute game-changer, putting our complete itinerary, travel details, and key information right at our fingertips whenever we needed it.

Every excursion and local guide Hector booked for us was top-tier, exceptionally professional, and always right on time. On top of that, the private transports Hector arranged were wonderful—the drivers were incredibly friendly, highly knowledgeable, and made getting around a breeze.

Thanks to Hector and Spiritu Travel, we enjoyed every single minute of our trip. We are already looking forward to booking our next adventure with Hector and cannot recommend him highly enough!

Awesome hotel! In a quiet neighborhood, where locals live, yet lively in the evenings while walking back. Right on the canal. Restaurants nearby, lively atmosphere at night yet not loud at all. We had a family suite that was very spacious, modern decor, breakfast was excellent as well. The hotel is very clean, our room was perfect! The bar downstairs was really great too, with delicious cocktails and a nice sitting lounge for grabbing a drink before heading out for the evening. Would definitely stay here again.
