Joel did an excellent job planning our trip. He listened to what we wanted and was flexible when our plans changed from a driving trip in the beginning. Joel also provided great support while we were on the trip when we ran into a couple hiccups that were totally beyond his control.
Our local guides were great, on time and very knowledgeable. I especially remember Natalie in Toledo and Maya for our Basque country trip to the cheese and cider making locations. But they were all great! Now if Joel can just find my suitcase that Iberia has lost.........

Great location!!
Activity Reviews
While the guide was great, it didn't feel like the "tapas" we were expecting. We essentially sat down in 3 restaurants and had a single item in each place.
The guide was lovely, however the Royal Palace was closed that day so we couldn't go. We went to the Prado, where she spent way too long talking about a couple of paintings by Greco. We would have rather seen more in the Prado than the focus on a couple paintings. That said, she was a very good guide and very personable.
Loved Natalie! She's a doll. She went at a perfect pace and was fun.
Both good, glad we did them.
Amaya was terrific. Great overview of San Sebastian!
We were glad we did a small group (rather than private) as it made it more fun. It was a great group. ....we went to 5 places!
It was raining, so we did plan B....a train trip to a different spot up the coast. Great guide, who we had for tomorrow as well...Anna.
This was a really fun trip....highly recommend it!
Loved Maya....she was so enthusiastic about the area and preserving the small farmer culture that it really made the trip enjoyable.
Another great guide....though her name is one I can't pronounce or spell! She was a great guide for the Guggenheim, gave really good perspectives.
