Our family was thrilled with our recent trip to Spain planned by Marina. We had the perfect amount of busy days and relaxing days. Some of our most memorable moments were-
kayaking and snorkeling in Costa Brava followed by relaxing on the beach. We loved our guide Stepan and he was so wonderful with the kids in the water and showing them about the plants and animals in the area.
the tapas tour in Barcelona - food and people were all wonderful! Boris had a great outgoing personality and really made everything so personalized and fun.
The Sagrada Familia was so beautiful.
The caves in Nerja were amazing, as was the town of Frigiliana. This was a great way to slow down a bit and enjoy the pace of a smaller town.
We loved Valencia and the Science museum campus.
In Madrid, we went to Euphoria - Art is in the Air, which is an inflatable art exhibition. It was so cool to see and interactive for the kids. We really want to see it again in Chicago.

Overall, we loved the people, food, sights, and lifestyle in Spain. We thank Marina so much, and all our guides, for a wonderful trip!

Explore Costa Brava: Kayaking, Snorkeling & Scenic Coastal Walks

Spain

We loved this chance to see and swim in the coast. Stepan was great with our kids. The landscape was beautiful and we had such a nice day on Costa Brava. It was not crowded and we had a great meal after on the beach.

Our guide was so great with the kids - answering their questions, helping them with the kayak, pulling them around in the kayak, talking to them about the marine and plant life. Terrific!

Guided Visit of Alhambra for Families

Spain

The Alhambra is such a beautiful place to see and walk around in. And I loved learning about the history and culture that shaped it. I would not visit here with young children, unless they are very much into walking around and looking at buildings. It's hard for children that need more movement and action.

This was the best way to see some of Madrid's sights while also keeping the kids engaged and interested. We loved this tour and it was the perfect length for time and distance.

She did an amazing job with the games and scavenger hunt style work for the kids. They loved looking for the answers each place we went.
