I greatly appreciated not having to wade through all the details of planning things myself. In addition, our agent was very helpful with advice for additional things to do and in being a real-time resource. There was also a very nice range of activities for everyone to enjoy--activities that might have been busy or sold out if we had decided to pursue them without prior reservations. We had excellent tour guides: Geza in Madrid, Ana in Barcelona, & Alex in Montserrat. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again for an upcoming vacation.
Hotel Reviews
A very nice hotel right in the middle of everything. We were there during the busiest Pride events in 2025: parade, music, dance parties until 2:30 am. The black out curtains and nice thick windows ensured that sleeping was no problem. If you're looking for a quieter or slightly more residential location, this might not be the right choice for you. It was a great vantage point for exploration throughout the city. Staff were very helpful and friendly.
We stayed in one of the 3 bedroom villas. The size of the villa and views exceeded our expectations. It was nice to have a common area and some room to spread out. The views from the terrace were absolutely stunning. The breakfast/dinner area offers gorgeous views of the water and the medieval city on the other side of the beach. The pool and adjacent beach area are great. The hotel is easily accessible to the main part of town but a little set apart, so not too busy or loud. Lovely and highly recommended.
An excellent hotel in the Eixample neighborhood. I really appreciated the location--very close to many historic sites and the Gothic Quarter--but also in a residential area. It felt less touristy but still very close to everything we wanted to see. Clean and absolutely met all of our travel needs. Would highly recommend.
Activity Reviews
A wonderful overview of Madrid, hitting all the necessary highlights with some funny and informative stories along the way.
Ana was a lovely tour guide and absolute fun! I would absolutely recommend her to other groups.
My family and I LOVED this experience. It was on a very hot July day in Madrid. I was worried that we would be too worn out to appreciate it. However.....it helps that the experience involves both food and alcohol! I'm embarrassed that I can't remember the definite name of our tour guide--Alberto or Alfonzo....definitely started with an "A". He was lovely and we clicked with the family of 5 from the UK. The not-too-touristy neighborhood was a definite win. I loved the historical background. I would absolutely recommend this as a wonderful experience--and one that will likely meet your dinner requirements, at least for us Americans that are used to eating at an earlier hour than Spaniards.
Hola Ann! Thank you so much for taking the time to share the feedback of your trip to Spain!
