Just returned from an unforgettable 8-day family adventure through Barcelona and Madrid, curated and flawlessly executed by Kimkim — and we’re still glowing from the experience!

From the moment we arrived, everything was seamless: private transfers, luxury accommodations, expertly guided tours, and personalized touches that made this trip exceed all expectations.

Top Highlights:
• Tapas & Flamenco in El Born – food, music, and culture in one vibrant evening, guided by Katya
• La Sagrada Família – a jaw-dropping masterpiece by Antoni Gaudi brought to life by our guide Jordi. Serene, spiritual, and spectacular, with stunning mountain views
• A visit to a vineyard with our guide Pol in the Penedès Wine Region where we were warmly welcomed by Ana, a third-generation member of the founding family. We tasted award-winning cava and tapas served in the family's private dining room.
• Family-friendly walk in Madrid – Our guide Majo made history fun with fascinating stories.
• Art immersion in Madrid – audio-assisted tour of the Prado & Reina Sofía museums
• Toledo Sword-Making – a hands-on history lesson with fifth-generation master swordsmith Antonio Arellano guided by Natalya
• Toledo Historic Walk with our engaging guide Carlos

Our stays at H10 Madison (Barcelona) and Radisson RED (Madrid) were top-notch —central, stylish, and perfect for families.

And shoutout to Kimkim’s live support team, who were always just a message away and made everything effortless. From itinerary planning to real-time support, the service was exceptional.

We left with full hearts, incredible memories, and a new appreciation for Spain’s culture, history, and cuisine.
We returned home full of gratitude and inspired by Spain’s rich history, beauty, and spirit. This was more than a vacation— it was a deeply meaningful family experience we’ll never forget.

With heartfelt thanks to Coraima, Summer, Alejandra and Diliana at Kimkim and all our incredible guides— Katya, Jordi, Pol, Majo, Natalya, and Carlos—gràcies y gracias!

The La Sagrada Família & Park Güell Visit was breathtaking. The architecture and design of La Sagrada Família are awe-inspiring, and Park Güell was equally impressive.

The Toledo Family Experience & Sword-Making was a unique experience. Although we didn't make swords, participating in the early stages of the process was interesting. It was a fun and educational activity for the family.

The Private Montserrat & Penedès Wine Region Day Trip was wonderful. We visited a family vineyard, where Ana, the guide, treated us warmly. We enjoyed a meal in their private dining room and tasted their award-winning Cava. It felt special and personal.
