Great location and attentive staff. The breakfast had wonderful variety and felt very homey.

Cannot give this villa enough praise. The location is absolutely breath-taking. The service and warmth of the staff was so wonderful. The spaciousness of the room was also wonderful. Highly recommend!!

What a cool, unique guest house in such a fun part of town!

It rained the whole day but we made the most of it. Was really fun to travel the Amalfi Coast during off-season. If there's any way to request Giuseppe as your driver/guide, you MUST!

The "Get to Know Lisbon with a Local" tour was a great way to explore the city’s rich history and hidden gems. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate, offering fascinating insights into Lisbon’s culture and landmarks. However, the pace felt a bit slow for our group, and there was a lot of walking, which might not be ideal for everyone. That said, it’s a wonderful experience for history buffs or anyone looking to dive deep into Lisbon’s story. Overall, an informative and enjoyable tour, but best suited for those who appreciate a slower, detailed exploration.

The Portugal Scenic Trails: Sintra Coastal Hike was an absolute highlight of our trip! Our guide was incredible—thoughtful, attentive, and adaptive to our group, which included both older and younger travelers. They ensured the pace was comfortable for everyone while keeping the adventure exciting. The scenic views along the Sintra coast were breathtaking, and the guide’s insights into the area’s natural beauty and history made it even more special. The picnic was the cherry on top—a delicious and relaxing moment surrounded by stunning landscapes. This hike was the perfect balance of adventure, relaxation, and connection with nature. Highly recommend for groups looking for an unforgettable outdoor experience!

The Tapas & Flamenco Experience in Seville was just okay. The tapas were just a light snack, but not particularly memorable, and we felt the selection could have been more diverse. The flamenco performance was passionate and authentic, but the venue felt a bit cramped and didn’t quite capture the vibrant energy we were expecting. Overall, it was a decent way to spend an evening, but it didn’t stand out compared to other experiences on our trip.

The Private Lisbon Culinary Food Experience was absolutely amazing! We savored authentic Portuguese dishes, explored local markets, and learned about Lisbon’s rich food culture from our fantastic guide. The highlight was a hands-on cooking session where we made traditional dishes and enjoyed them together. It was delicious, fun, and truly immersive—a must-do for food lovers in Lisbon!

The Private Guided Visit of Seville was a pleasant experience that gave us a great overview of the city’s rich history and stunning architecture. Our guide was knowledgeable and shared fascinating stories about landmarks like the Alcázar and the Seville Cathedral. The pace was comfortable, and the guide tailored the experience to our interests. While it wasn’t the most exciting tour we’ve done, it was well-organized and provided valuable insights into the city. A solid option for those looking to explore Seville with a local expert!

The Private Local Market Visit & Cooking Class was hands-down the highlight of our trip! This experience was the perfect blend of culture, cuisine, and connection. Exploring the local market with our guide was so much fun—learning about fresh, regional ingredients and selecting the items we’d use later was an adventure in itself. The cooking class was equally incredible! The hands-on experience of preparing traditional dishes under the guidance of a skilled and personable chef was both educational and entertaining. Everyone in our group, from seasoned cooks to beginners, had an amazing time. The best part? Sitting down together to enjoy the delicious meal we created—it felt like a true celebration. This activity brought us closer as a group and gave us memories (and recipes!) that we’ll cherish forever. A must-do for anyone visiting and looking for an authentic, interactive experience!

Great location, very friendly and helpful staff, clean and modern

Great location, staff were very friendly and helpful, room had a small balcony which was really nice to have for a sit outside to watch the city go by. Has a rooftop bar which is amazing for a night cap.

Great location, staff were very friendly and helpful, great bar/lounge for an after-dinner night cap. The balcony with the room and the hotel pool were a nice touch. We didn't make an appointment but there is a spa where you could book a massage or treatment if you'd like.

Beautiful hotel in an amazing location in Lisbon. We were upgraded to an incredible suite with a sitting area where we could enjoy a nice glass of wine and some pastries - so lovely! Staff were very friendly and helpful.

We saw two great wineries, learned about the history and process of port and wine-making in the area, and had a lovely boat ride on the Duoro. The visit to the first winery also included an olive oil tasting and they had gluten-free bread available for me (I have celiac disease). Our lunch stop was a small unassuming place that made amazing food. Our guide, Pedro, took great care of us and was very patient as we stopped to pet all of the friendly dogs we met :)

Our guide, Emanuel, was very knowledgeable, friendly, and funny. He knew a lot about the local flora and fauna, and the history of the area we were in. Despite him believing the water was too cold, he was happy to let me go for a swim in some waterfalls :). We had a great visit in a local village and enjoyed some drinks at a small pub to cap off the day.

This is a beautiful region and I highly recommend visiting. Sergio, our guide, was very knowledgeable and friendly, and took us on some great trails and to two beautiful Schist Villages. He was able to find a restaurant in Lousa that could accommodate my gluten allergy (celiac) and offer traditional regional dishes (chanfana and wild boar). It was really fun exploring the mountains in the area in his jeep, and meeting some of the locals who still live in the villages.

Pedro, our driver, was very friendly and a great companion for the drive. He did not rush us at all as we visited the Convento de Cristo, Castelo de Tomar, and the Castelo de Almourol. We were able to find a lovely little cafe in Tomar for lunch - Insensato cafe and livraria - that made us the perfect lunch and had gluten-free options (I am a celiac).

This was our favourite day of the trip! We hiked lots, and our guide Felis knew how to get us off the beaten path. We had a wonderful, quiet lunch spot on the trails with a stunning view of the palace. We explored the Pena Palace, the Moorish Castle and the Quinta da Regaleira (including the caves/tunnels). We were able to add on another hike at the end of the day, a trip to the coast to go to Praia da Ursa to drink wine, eat cheese and watch the sunset on the beach. I can't think of a more perfect way to end the day!

Artur was SO lovely, it was like cooking lunch with an old friend. We visited the market and shopped for fresh ingredients, learning some tips on how to find and store the ingredients properly. We walked back to Artur's house where he has a well-appointed and cozy kitchen and learned some of his techniques, and how to get the best flavour out of fresh, simple dishes. We enjoyed a lunch of roasted tomatoes, sea bass, asparagus, pinto beans, mushrooms, suckling pig ribs, roasted almonds, mango, and queso fresco (and of course vino verdhe!) This was a highlight of our trip for sure!

The fado singers were absolutely incredible! We had an amazing table, right up front, where we could fully appreciate the musicians and singers. The talent of these artists cannot be understated. The restaurant service was very prompt and friendly, the food was decent, and they were able to accommodate my gluten allergy (celiac).

Amazing location. Fantastic rooftop pool, bar and views Incredible breakfast! They will make fresh eggs to your liking AND cappuccinos at your request as well! Very friendly staff, always so kind, attentive and helpful. Be prepared for firm beds everywhere in Spain. but the pillows were nice and we slept well. Would definitely stay here again

FABULOUS! WOW!!!! We stayed here before our flight out... and the SPA was sooooo nice after a busy 10 days of exploring and adventure. The outdoor pool was cold but I still went in. The dinner at NOXE on the top floor was so delicious with an amazing view, great vibes and very friendly staff. Incredible breakfast! Huge Spread! and so nice to eat out on the patio with the view of the beach. Would definitely stay here again

Our guide was soooo knowledgeable and fun. We saw so much on this full day, customized private tour and learned a lot! The Sagrada Familia and The houses on the Block of Discord were incredible!!!!!

OMG it was so beautiful up on Montserrat! The views were amazing, the funicular was so much fun, our hike was worth it for the views, and the tour of the monastery & other buildings was impressive. Our private guide was so funny and made the hike/walk enjoyable (wear good sneakers/hiking shoes and bring water!) The winery was very nice and the tasting was delicious. We learned a lot.

Mariona and Pere are AMAZING! They are full of knowledge, are so kind & funny, and have so many wonderful stories to share. The tour of the Market in Palafrugell was a great way to start the day shopping for our ingredients (seeing all the fresh seafood was the best part), and then we were welcomed into their own home and kitchen... which was such an honour. I could go on and on about the delicious food we learned to make and the incredible experience of working alongside this lovely couple in their beautiful home to create this masterpiece seafood Fideua (Paella made with Pasta instead of rice) and Creme Brûlée. (oh and I can't forget the suprisingly delicious Catalan Tomato Garlic Bread with Spanish Anchovies as an appetizer - SO good!). Our conversation over the meal was so special and I felt like we were old friends by the end of the day. Thank you for the most amazing experience Mariona & Pere. You are incredible!

This was an incredible experience... the views along the coastal hike were unreal, and then when we got to paddle our kayak down along the coast, it was so neat to see everything we'd hiked along from a different vantage point. We had perfect weather and fun waves... we were brave and paddled through caves and near cliffs - it was a fun team-building experience for my fiancé and I haha! and the lagoon dipping and snorkelling was made extra special when we got to jump off of various heights of cliffs! Bucket list item checked! Our guide was so informative and funny, and he even took photos for us while we were on the kayak and cliff jumping using his own phone which he sent to us that night.... that allowed us to fully enjoy the experience but still have the captured memories. This was one of the best excursions of my life!

Good location, friendly staff and the breakfasts included in the stay were very tasty!

Lovely hotel! Concierge was super helpful in restaurant selection! He really seemed to enjoy seeing us when we'd come by the front desk!

Not as far from the Florence attractions as I initially thought but we did have to do a good bit of walking, which isn't bad! The staff was mostly accommodating to some of our needs. They couldn't come fix a closet issue, and brought us extra toilet paper and trash bags at 22:30! That was late for us Americans! We were in bed already! I would suggest having instructions for things like the coffee maker, washer/dryer & dishwasher. Letting us know what the checkout process was, and what to do with the trash would have been helpful too. Maybe having an information sheet with restaurants, markets, pharmacies etc would have been nice too. The lock for the door was something none of us had ever seen so that was a challenge initially but we got used to it! Overall a nice place to stay!

Learned a lot! Lovely guide

Loads of fun! Guide was great and drove us all over the place! He was very knowledgeable and explained a lot of history & culture to us! He was losing his voice and we felt bad about that. a microphone would have help us and him out a bunch!

Started out rainy but turned into a lovely sunny day! Really enjoyed the Funicular and the chair lift to the top of Anacapri!

Fascinating to learn all the details of these ancient cities!

Interesting place. Lots of people. Didn't find our guide for about half an hour. It was beautiful but felt herded like cattle through the Sistine Chapel. Didn't get to see the Rafael Room which was on my list.

So fun! Loved this event! Made pasta and an appetizer and were served plenty of wine in the process! Friendly Chef, translator and staff too!

Good tour. Lots of information. Lots of standing which is hard sometimes! We did walk a lot though too!

So fun! Really enjoyed the wine, luncheon an both wineries! The guide was very friendly and talkative as well (I talked about him in my overall review

Fun day driving through the Tuscan countryside!

Did not go to Cinque Terre because of rain. Very disappointing to me! We did go to Lucca and Pisa. It was sunny but didn't make up for not being able to see the sea!
