Our trip was incredible!
From the planning of specific planned activities, to our “own” time, as well as all of our service providers such as the private drivers and the assistance from Espiritu Team through online messaging via the Trip Plan app. Every driver was professional, safe and vehicles were exceptional. Each of our guides from the food tours, wineries and olive oil estate were top notch. We loved the mix of small group events as well as the private guides we had on several of our experiences.
In Porto - we loved our guide’s (Joao) knowledge and the local establishments that we experienced; the Douro Wine & River Cruise was perfectly timed and our private guide’s (Tiago) personal winery experience was equally enjoyed.
In Lisbon - Our dinner with a local family was a unique experience that we will always remember. Our excursion to Sintra, Cascais was made special by our private guide (Nuno) was great. Also, our private guide (I no longer have his name) who took us on a walking tour of Alfama area of Lisbon was a joy to spend the morning walking the neighborhood.
In Lagos, Algarve the boat tour to the Benagil was a nice getaway for a few hours.
While our time in Seville was a bit compromised due to the excessive heat, the Flamenco event had a feel of real authenticity. The Olive Oil Estate also was a unique experience. Our day trip to Cordoba had beautiful sights but the heat caused us to shorten that day trip unfortunately.
Mallorca was amazing! From the accommodations at the Cala Fornells Hotel to the overall island. I think we’ll be back there in the future.
Lastly, Barcelona was so enjoyable. The Tapas tour was so much fun, the trip to Montserrat was nice as well. But the private tour of the Vins El CEP winery was a perfect end to our trip.
In summary, the timing of each stay, of each planned event mixed between our “own time” was simply perfect. The accommodations were wonderful - great locations and high quality. Without exception all of our guides and drivers made our experience a trip of a lifetime! Thank you so much for all your efforts in planning and assisting us throughout our trip.

Hotel Reviews
Great location, friendly staff, clean rooms and very good breakfast
Staff was excellent. Room was very small given the amount of luggage we had for our extended vacation. Location was exceptional. Breakfast was in a small lobby - it was adequate but could have been better.
Very nice resort. The pool area is very nice, and location to beautiful coastline is a big plus. Room was large, clean with beautiful view. The breakfast was excellent..
Location was close to some key attractions - Cathedral and Royal Alcazar and local dining establishments. A short taxi to others key attractions as well.
This was such a nice hotel. Great location, great views and wonderful staff. The facilities - Breakfast area, Patio and beach were amazing. It is one place we would not hesitate to come back to.
Very nice size room, lovely view, great breakfast and a nice bar area. Walkable to many key attractions or a short taxi ride to them.
Activity Reviews
Going to local establishments with our guide made this a fabulous experience
The morning walk through Alfama was so much fun
The day was perfectly planned. The Douro River Cruise was timed just right (about 1 -1.5 hours on the boat). The going to visit an old, small winery and a newer, larger winery was a perfect mix.
Our driver was great. Provided us with recommendation for our time in Coimbra as well as restaurants with good Fado in Lisbon
Very unique experience to visit a nearly 500 year old olive oil estate once owned by Christopher Columbus’ son!
Most fun night we had in a small group experience. First time we did a cooking class and it was som much fun. Would do it again.
The drive and walk through Sintra was amazing. Cascais and Estoril were also beautiful. Lunch at Sintra was perfect too. Having this as a private tour made it even more special.
The trip to Montserrat was very nice - but the visit to the winery was exceptional.
Coastline is spectacular. The Benagil Cave was unique, but a bit underwhelming - the journey was more scenic that the cave.
The most unique experience you can have if you want to get to know what life is like at a local. This was so much fun.
Loved the different type of local establishments that we went to
