    I have been to the pre Pyrenees and Medieval town of Rupit tour with Spanish Trails. We had an amazing tour guide who knew so much about the Spanish and Catalan culture. The tour started with a traditional Catalan breakfast, which I liked a lot. The medieval town was very great to visit. The pre Pyrenees had an amazing view I had never seen in my life before. At the end of the tour we had an amazing Catalan lunch. The restaurant had so much to offer. Firstly we tried a local Catalan wine, which was a great experience. The amount of various meats they offered was unbelievable. This tour gets a 5-stars ranking from me. From food to wine, I experienced the local culture and it was wonderful.

    I don't usually write reviews because I am usually not impacted by a business but that is not the case for Spanish Trails. This is my first review because this was such a positive experience. This was my first time in Spain and all of the tour guides I interacted with were so nice and helpful. The Pyrenees Mountain trip is a once in a lifetime experience filled with a good hike and authentic food, for any guided tour it is definitely worth the price. I will be recommending Spanish trails to anyone who travels to Barcelona, 11/10.

    Spanish Trails is such an amazing experience! It was my first time doing a tour with them and they are PHENOMENAL! The tour guides are so fun and the staff makes it such a fun and memorable experience. The staff is super fun and super knowledgeable. 10/10!!!! If you plan on using a tour guide in Barcelona/ Spain, etc please use Spanish Trails! You won’t regret it :) Felipo, Isabel, Craig, José Luis, Raúl, Faye, Loek, and Dennis are AMAZING!

    Spanish trails excursions have been some of the best highlights of my trip to Spain so far! I absolutely loved how funny, knowledgeable and interactive the guides were, not to mention the delicious authentic meal. 100% would recommend these tours to anyone who wants to explore the gems of Spain while having a good time 😊

    My trip to the Costa Brava with Spanish Trails was spectacular! Having only a short amount of time in the Barcelona area, spending a day on their small-group tour to learn the history and culture of the northeastern part of Catalonia was a day well spent. The views were unsurpassed, as was the knowledge of our guide. Stops were well-investigated beforehand so that we could maximize our time - including a delicious three-course meal in Girona before touring the Jewish Quarter. I learned so much about the area, we're planning a trip back and won't hesitate to spend another day with Spanish Trails.

    Excellent Tour Group. Spanish Trails specialise in small groups (8 max), and on our tour, only 5. We did the medieval Villages tour. Guide (Jon) was excellent, very helpful and informative. We went to the 10th century village of Rupit, had a nice breakfast (included) then did a couple of hours walking. Terrain was up and down, and bush tracks, but thoroughly enjoyable. Breath-taking views of the village from high up. Back then to village for lunch, with wine and beer (also included). Great day out. Highly recommended. This was our THIRD tour with Spanish Trails. Previously did Tapas tour, and Costa Brava tours back in 2014.

    We travelled to Barcelona this summer 2018 and used Spanish Trails exclusively to tour in and around the city. They were outstanding! I exchanged many, many emails with Isabel prior to our trip and she always got right back to me. Every tour we took went perfectly and our entire experience with this company was top notch. Our first afternoon in Barcelona we had a private Old Quarter Walking Tour with Angelic. The next day we took the Barcelona Explorer Tour - this was fantastic as it gives you an in depth view and experience of many parts of this magnificent city. We had Angelic again as our guide. The Catalan culture is a passion for her and her enthusiasm made the tours just that much more entertaining. The last tour we took was the Montserrat & Wine Country Tour with José. He was very knowledgeable about the history of Montserrat. He arranged for us to have lunch at an olive farm. There is no way a tourist would ever find this place, as it's tucked away in the hills. The food was outstanding and such a unique experience that we'll never forget. Next we drove to the winery where the owner greeted us and gave the tour. You felt as if you had just made a new friend, such a lovely experience - all thanks to Spanish Trails.

    We took a full day tour of Costa Brava, Pals and Girona with our family of five. A truly special day with our amazing guide Andrew who was full of history, humor and local knowledge. Everything was just perfect! My family is still talking about the views, the numerous history lessons and the special lunch in Pals. Thank you Andrew!

    I underwent an unforgettable night in Spain with wonderful food and wine. if you would like to try a wide variety of cheese, Iberico Ham, delicious Tapas and wine from Spain, you should join the Tapas and Wine walking tour in Barcelona. Our tour guide Ersiliando is humorous and knowledgeable, she talked about Barcelona's history, culture, fantastic landscapes and fine foods with us. We are very satisfied and truly enjoyed this trip.

    We booked a 3 day wine tour of the Priorat and Penedes regions. Our guide, Andrew, was top notch - personable and knowledgable. Accommodations and meals were great. Had we been on our own we would have never had the access and experience that we enjoyed with Spanish Trails. Highly recommend - we would book with the again.

    We took the Monserrat & Winery tour, which comprised a full day outside of Barcelona. Monserrat was completely stunning. The lunch at a local restaurant was a good respite before moving on to the winery, which showcased some of local wine. Our guide, Jose, kept us informed of the history associated with what we were seeing, as well as local customs, myths, and more. It was a full, long day but we enjoyed it all!

    My extended family of 11 had a great time with Dan seeing Montserrat and Sitges during Easter Week. Dan met us at our hotel and on our way to Montserrat he shared lots of information about Catalunya and Barcelona. Once we got to Montserrat he gave us a great tour and offered several options for seeing the mountain. He helped my parents find an option with less walking and then walked with us on a hike getting some great pictures along the way. After that, we had a wonderful lunch at an outdoor restaurant and then went on to Sitges. Sitges is a beach town. While the kids enjoyed the beach, we walked around. Spanish Trails was great with customizing our tour since it initially included a vineyard which we knew wouldn't appeal to the kids. Adding Sitges in was a great option. As our guide Dan was fantastic. He knew how to talk to both the adults and kids and keep us all happy. I would definitely use Spanish Trails again when I'm in Spain!

    We had a wonderful D.O.Q. Priorat tour with Dan. Can't recommend this specific tour from Spanish Trails more! What a unique experience! So interesting and fun would gladly take the same tour upon returning, that's how much we loved it! You get to see wineries that would not normally be open to the public and enjoy a beautiful drive out from Barcelona to the Priorat region. Quite a long drive but well worth it! If you love wine you MUST take this tour on your visit to Barcelona!

    My son and I registered for a small group tour , but we were the only participants for the day! What indulgence! We felt like old friends of Phillipo to whom he was showing the sights. His preparation and background was excellent. The lunch provided was beyond all expectations. Warmly recommended.

    We had a great time with Alex and the adorable village of Rupit! Wear your walking shoes, because you will need them! The trails and views are amazing, and Alex is full of knowledge of the area and its history. (She will also help taking great photos!) We had a lovely lunch after our hike and I would highly recommend to anyone.

    So first, our flights got messed up and we arrived a day later than expected. We were originally scheduled for the Montserrat tour, but we would have missed the departure time. With a quick email Tracy transferred our reservations for a tour that was available on the following day. We met our guide Maria outside our first stop. The tour group included Maria, my husband and myself, and a family of three from Sweden. We loved being able to talk in a small group setting and learning so much about Sweden culture while we were learning about Barcelona! I think this was definitely the best part of our entire trip to Barcelona. We spent four hours walking through different areas of the city learning history and culture all while sipping delicious wines and tasting new and authentic Catalonian cuisine. It was nice to have someone who knew what to order to get the authentic experience and who could converse so easily with the serving staff. We were introduced to Vermouth at a small side stop, Cava for dessert, and so many other foods!

    I had the amazing opportunity to go on several guided tours led by Spanish Trails, and left every single one thinking "that was the best tour I've ever been on". These guys blow every other AirBnB and competing tour guide experience out of the water, and I will no doubt be going on more Spanish Trails' tours when I return to Barcelona.

    Amazing experience! A group of 9 of us hired a private 2 days tour hiking in the Pyrenees Mountains with a couple guides and we stayed in a refuge over night. As a student studying abroad in Barcelona for the semester, this has definitely been my favorite weekend yet! I would highly recommend this tour with Spanish Trails.

    Due to life events, I'm writing this review late, but I had such an amazing time on my adventure with Spanish Trails, I still wanted to make sure to write this. In August I was in Barcelona for vacation and I came across the opportunity to take part in the experience offered of kayaking in Costa Brava. I had never been kayaking before, but I felt like this was a once in a lifetime opportunity. Craig was my tour guide for this, and I felt very fortunate to have him leading the way for us! He was very patient and kind with everyone in the group. He was filled with knowledge and experience that allowed me to feel safe in doing this for the first time. The scenery was breathtaking, Craig was wonderful, and I HIGHLY recommend anyone doing this if given the opportunity! It was well worth the cost and I would do it again in a heartbeat! Thank you Craig and Spanish Trails for giving me this experience I would never think was possible! It was my favorite thing I did during my time in Barcelona!

    We booked two trips with Spanish Trail and both excursions were extremely educational, interesting and enjoyable. Our guides, Stephan and Mariela, were incredibly accommodating, knowledgeable and made both trips easy to navigate and relaxing ☺️ We explored all Barcelona’s landmarks and neighborhoods under Mariela’s expert guidance. While with Stephan’s help, we were able to appreciate Dalí’s aesthetic and to partake in a gorgeous scenery of both Dali’s hometown and home- studio. Both trips are absolutely worth taking!!!

    Spanish Trails is incredible in they're end-to-end service. Jose, our tour guide for the Pyrenees trails tour brought us snacks, explained things in great detail and left us feeling so satisfied at the end of the day. Thank you Spanish Trails and Jose! Highly recommend.

    An extraordinary day! From 8:00am - 7:00pm, Andrew "taught" a class in Dali that was comprehensive, insightful, and humorous. While on the road, in our very comfortable van, Andrew regaled us with "jaw dropping" stories about Salvador Dali's life - his relationship with his family, with the many people - Miro, Fredrico García Lorca, Luis Buñuel, Picasso - he encountered, and with Gala (his wife of 48 yrs) - stories that led to questions, discussions and regret we had reached our destination! Andrew walked us through Dali's home and garden in Port Lligat where he lived with Gala for 34 years (although he gave her a "castle" in 1968, where she spent considerable time 'alone' over the years - another fascinating STORY...). Dali was born in Figueres, spent summers on the Costa Brava and he found it comforting to make the Cadaqués area his primary residence as an adult. During our walk through, Andrew pointed out many items Dali used in his paintings and gifts from people which had just been incorporated into the decor (many, he just gave to the townspeople). After a delightful lunch in Cadequés at Casa Nun, we were off to Figueres to the Dali Teatre Museu (which Dali designed and built). Again, Andrew was a fountain of knowledge and gave us an overview of what to expect. He also suggested we walk through and let our interests lead us - to not follow the map. Such good advice - I just let myself be immersed in Dali. Dali was an intriguing (tragic?) human being. Andrew provided a breadth and depth of information about him that has been a marvelous jumping off spot to learn more. Thank you Andrew!

    My husband and I went to Barcelona in April. After looking at all of the amazing tours Spanish Trails had to offer, we decided to spend all 9 nights in Barcelona and take day trips with Spanish Trails to explore the area. We couldn't have been more pleased! We booked 5 tours and loved them all! 1. Full-day Barcelona Tour on Friday, our first full day there. Fabulous way to become acquainted with the city. Our lovely guide seemed to have the answer to any question we could ask, and we were very happy that someone else was doing all of the driving. We didn't even realize that our tour would include a huge lunch. (That was the case with all of our tours.) We avoided all of the lines at the Park Guell and Sagrada, so for that alone, it was worth it. Very good value! 2. The next day was a lazy one for us, but we did the Food and Wine Tour in the evening. Wow! My husband was skeptical, but I had done one in Rome once, so I insisted. I have to say, this might have been our favorite tour of all, but then, how can we decide? Our guide knew all of the best spots to go, and we just walked past the crowds at each stop, straight to our reserved table or room. Great food and wine at every location! Be sure to take notes so you can find them again. This is also a walking tour of the city and we were able to see sights we missed the day before. Also, the tour wasn't over until about 11:30 at night, and it was fun to be guided through lively, hip neighborhoods and into churches and other monuments for a nighttime view. The city was beautiful, and this was something we would never have done on our own. 3. We took Sunday off, but had a full day trip planned on Monday to a Medieval Mountain Village. What a fabulous day we had! It started with a surprise breakfast (oh well, who's counting calories), then a walk through the most picturesque village you could imagine and on into the mountains. The hike was easy enough, with plenty of stops to take in amazing views, but it was still a good workout. When we got back into town we had another fabulous lunch with wine and something I would call an orange float with a healthy pour of Grand Marnier! Guess what we all did on the way back to Barcelona. Yup! We slept as our entertaining guide, Samuel, drove us home. 4. We took another day off on Tuesday, then went on the Montserrat and Wine Day Tour on Wednesday. Unfortunately, our good luck with the weather did not hold out, and it poured all day. Although we couldn't enjoy the hike and views at Montserrat, our guide worked very hard to make sure we had a good time, and we did. It wasn't what we expected to do, but we still enjoyed our thorough tour of the cathedral and other buildings. We offered up prayers as we touched the Black Madonna and then heard the boys choir. We went to their museum (instead of the hike), and I have to admit, it's an amazing little museum with works from many famous artists. Luckily, the weather can't dampen the fun of a vineyard tour, and we thoroughly enjoyed getting to know wines from the Penedes region. And of course, we had another delicious meal as we dried off between our Montserrat visit and the wine tour. 5. The very next day we went on the Costa Brava and Girona Day Tour. Although still cloudy, we didn't get rained out, and the day turned out to be a winner! In fact, if we go back to Spain, we'd love to stay in Girona and/or on the coast for a few days. We couldn't believe we'd never heard of Girona before. It's lovely! We also saw Pals, a quaint walled city, and we had another delicious regional lunch, where we met up with our guide from the food tour and her group. It was a nice reunion! We all felt like old friends by the end of our tours. Choose Spanish Trails like we did, and I assure you, you'll have a great experience!

    Spanish trails is a fine company to tour with. I myself went on the Costa Brava Hiking tour and had a fantastic time. The guides have a lot of information about the tours and are very welcoming. Any questions you have are answered immediately. besides, everything is well organized from top to toe, allowing you to enjoy the tour to the fullest! It is definitely worth going on one of the tours. It's an experience you won't soon forget!!!

    Honestly a great company. Our tour guide, Filippo kept things light hearted and gave us tons of information along the way. He even introduced us to a local friend who has a dream catcher gizmo to make your dreams come true. We got a great authentic lunch along the beach, while he ran back for 50 minutes to our starting point to get the van so that we would not have to wait. Highly recommend the Costa Brava trip!

    We had the most wonderful day on our Penedes wine tour! We went off the beaten track to some beautiful wineries and our lunch was amazing. Our guide Jose was great fun and really knew his stuff. Highly recommend!

    Best winery tour I’ve been in so far, very passionate people with a wealth of knowledge. Got to meet the families who own the wineries who are equally passionate and did everything they can to make your experience as good as possible. Highly recommend next time you’re in Barcelona, thank you Jose

  • 5/5 Douglas P. 1 year ago on Google
    My wife and I spent 4 days in Barcelona as part of a two week vacation in Spain and Portugal. We went on four tours with Spanish Trails guides and cannot compliment them enough on our experience. First we had Craig for a 3-hour walking tour focused on the ancient Roman quarter; then later that evening he led a 5-hour tapas and wine tour. Craig is extremely personable and just fun to be around. The next day, we had Jose Luis for a 4-hour Barcelona Insider tour focused on the architect Gaudi with Park Guell and Sagrada Familia, which is absolutely stunning. He is very knowledgeable on the Guadi architecture. Finally, we went on an all-day tour with Mariela to Montserrat including a brief recital by the Boys Choir and viewing of the Black Madonna. Next stop was a winery tour and tasting at Bolet Vineyard. Mariela has avery interesting background, knows several languages and a wonderful guide (and driver!) This is our third trip to Europe and we have had many guides - Craig Jose Luis and Mariela are at the top of the list!

  • 5/5 Bowmanlaurapiper 1 year ago on Google
    We had a lovely day on a tour of Costa Brava and Girona. Our guide was knowledgeable, kind, and attentive. The walk along the Costa Brava Coast is breathtaking. Being an artist, I now have many beautiful photos to paint. Girona is an intriguing town of winding streets, castle walls, churches, and stone buildings. We ate in the newer part of Girona at a grill type of restaurant with farm to table food and many local favorites. This made for a lovely day filled with memory making moments.

  • 5/5 daphne a. 1 year ago on Google
    The Spanish Trails tours are such an incredible experience! I have been on the Medieval Village tour and on the Costa Brava hike. The tour guides are very knowledgeable and speak great English! You can truly see that they like doing their job, and are truly interested in the guests and provide you with so much interesting information. The views on both tours were beautiful. The tours were on time, provided delicious food, and left you feeling fulfilled. Definitely worth it.

    I had the best trip to Rupit (the medieval village) last month… look no farther than Spanish Trails for the best excursions in Barcelona!

  • 5/5 Kelly M. 1 year ago on Google
    Our hotel recommended Spanish Trails for a day trip we were trying to plan last minute. Filippo was very helpful with helping us select the best for and putting it together for us last minute. Our family of 5 ranked this one of the best things we did while in Barcelona! Our guide was great, the hike was beautiful and the lunch was delicious. Highly recommend Costa Brava and Spanish Trails!

  • 5/5 Markham S. 5 years ago on Google
    HIGHLY recommend booking a trip to the Pyrenees Medieval Village. Easy 1.5 hr hike with lots of stops along the way. Waterfalls, cliffs, excellent viewpoints! Visiting the village was like going back to ancient times. Our guide Jose Luis was outstanding and very well informed of the area. He took us to the best local restaurant with some of the best steak, chicken, and rabbit I've ever had. Jose was funny, easy to talk with, and a fantastic driver. Everything was taken care of, all you have to do is show up. Take a day and book this trip!!

    Craig provided us with a great Barcelona food tour experience. Three couples bouncing around Barcelona like we were old friends, experiencing new foods! One of our highlights on our trip to Spain

    The wine tour we took was excellent, Samuel our guide was informative and entertaining, Pares Balta Winery with BeBe was interesting, nice visit the wine cellar and taste some good wine. Lunch with Sylvie serving typical Catalan dishes and wine, after was ready for siesta, but she took us to Cava Hill winery again tour was from fields to bottling, she is the only person allowed to bring guests, like having your own winery. Great day, nice that only 50 minutes from town plus had 5 year old with us, she even had good time.

  • 5/5 Ken B. 4 months ago on Google
    We did 3 private tours with Spanish Trails in early December and they were all fantastic. Guides arrive on time and all arrangements went smoothly. We did the Ultimate Barcelona: Private Full-day Tour with Mariela, the Private Montserrat Tour and Boutique Winery Experience with Ines and then the Private Priorat Tour: Exclusive Czellars, Wines and Unique Countryside with Craig. Montserrat was my favorite but they were all great and we would highly recommend them. I would have no concerns at all about recommending Spanish Trails to anyone wanting Barcelona area tours. There isn't anything we could think of as a critique, it was all great.

  • 5/5 Glenn R. 4 years ago on Google
    I've gone on two tours now with this company and both were excellent. The guides are very knowledgeable about the area, history, customs, and cuisine. I hope to go on more Spanish Trails tours on future visits to Catalonia. A+!

  • 5/5 Tania L. 7 months ago on Google
    Beautiful scenery while hiking with a few stops to enjoy the view. Mariella was fantastic; knowledgeable with great positive energy. Food was delicious too! If you want to get away from the bustling streets of Barcelona and take in calming sights with a good laugh, we highly recommend this hike with Mariela. You will be so happy you did ❤️ Thank you, Mariela!

    I had the most incredible experience exploring a hidden gem of a city with Craig Markarian as my tour guide! His deep knowledge of history, art, and culture made every moment come alive with rich stories and fascinating insights. From the mesmerizing spiritual sites to the mouthwatering local cuisine, every aspect of the tour was carefully curated to provide a truly immersive and authentic experience. Craig's passion and enthusiasm were infectious, and he effortlessly navigated us through charming streets and captivating landmarks. I couldn't have asked for a more knowledgeable, personable, and engaging guide. This tour was an absolute highlight of my travels, and I can't wait to explore more hidden treasures with Craig in the future!

  • 5/5 Kirstin D. 8 months ago on Google
    Our tour of Salvador Dali’s museum and house in Cadeques and Port Lligat will most likely be the highlight of our trip to Barcelona. While Dali was the subject, what made it an amazing experience was our guide Craig! He provides the perfect balance of local information, regional history, and Dali expertise with an incredible ability to make it all conversational, interesting and engaging. There isn’t one thing to think about…just get in the van and it’s like hanging out with a friend who lives in Spain and knows all of the hacks and great restaurants. I highly recommend Spanish Trails as your tour choice, no matter what you would like to experience. Should I ever make it back, I will definitely book a tour with Spanish Trails and request our new friend Craig.

  • 5/5 Candella M. 11 months ago on Google
    My husband and I attended three tours with Spanish Trails. Each of them was amazing! Stephan took us on a three hour walking tour in the Gothic Quarter…allowing us to stop at any point of interest that caught our attention, as well as the intended places. He was more than patient and full of wonderful information… So genuine and personable! He also took our little group to Monserrat. Craig , another amazing guide, took us on the Dalí home and Museo tour. We loved every minute! Being an art historian and an architect, he shared information that only a professor might know. We absolutely loved everything about the tour! This was our second time to Barcelona, and both times we used Spanish Trails. I prefer them over any tour service!

  • 5/5 Steven B. 5 years ago on Google
    Great experience with our tour guide Craig. Very knowledgeable of the history and architecture of Barcelona. Had tips on restaurants and other things to do. I would highly recommend this tour to get the most out of the city without just aimlessly wandering.

  • 5/5 Tori G. 5 years ago on Google
    Our experience with Spanish Trails was nothing short of amazing. Dan, our guide, took my parents and I up to the Montserrat Monastery, where he explained the history and importance of the entire site. He was funny, knowledgeable, and accommodating. The views were incredible and our tour included a meal at a small Catalan restaurant which was delicious! We ended our day at a lovely winery where we were informed of the wine-making process, and given samples of multiple different types of the wine they produce. I would highly recommend this company, as well as this tour to anyone looking for a guided day trip! Will definitely be booking with them again soon!

    Aurora is wonderful and takes you out for an unique, informative and best of all delicious food and wine tour. Good variety of establishments and food and drink and history behind some of the neighborhoods and proprietors and Catalan culture. Absolutely will be happy you spent the evening with Aurora as a guide.

    The best ever, Andrew is an excellent tour guide. Like him so much, professional, funny and knowledgeable!

  • 5/5 Chris S. 5 years ago on Google
    We had an amazing time on our day trip to the Dali museum followed with a walking tour in Girona. Our tour guide, Andrew, was funny, knowledgable, and super friendly. He is what made the tour amazing. His knowledge into art history and historical importance of Girona taught us so much about Dali and Girona. He was very kind and accommodating to all our requests. We had a group of 5 and luckily no other group booked the other 3 slots in our tour so we basically got a private tour. We opted for the lunch option as well and the restaurant Andrew took us to was authentic Catalan food and a great experience. Highly recommend Spanish Trails for the quality of the tour, tour guides, and price. What a great deal! Ask for Andrew if you can!!

    If I could rate my Costa Brava experience more than five stars I would! Filippo was an incredible guide with great energy. He was very knowledgeable about the area. To top off our beautiful hike, we had a delicious meal right by the water. You do not want to miss this one of a kind experience!

    A Unique Day to Remember We took the day tour from Barcelona to Montserrat and a winery and loved it. Our tour guide Samuel was great. He was able to not only give us the history of the areas we were seeing but also to talk with us meaningfully about ancient and modern things of interest in Catalunya, and Montserrat fits into all these pictures. There were five people in the tour and he looked out for each of us. In Montserrat, after explaining everything in detail and outlining all the options for our time there, he let us pursue our separate interests for a couple of hours, which was great since some people wanted to take the cable car then hike down the mountain, for example. Then we all found our way to see the beautiful Black Madonna (an amazing experience) and listen to the angelic boys choir. Then Samuel took us to a small town at the foot of the mountain where we all enjoyed traditional Catalan dishes. Samuel explained the menu dish by dish to help understand what to order, and made sure the vegetarians could find good options. The afternoon winery visit was something extraordinary and memorable. Instead of taking us to a big, typical winery, we went to a small winery that is not only fully organic but also biodynamic, which means that they use additional traditional and modern techniques including local manure and harvesting - by hand! - according to the phases of the moon. This place was exquisitely beautiful, with wild flowers and flowering "weeds" growing freely between the rows of vines. The wine lovers amongst us sipped wine amidst rolling hills of the vineyards, with the mountains of Montserrat on the horizon, lit up by the afternoon sun. The whole setting was amazing even for those of us who don't drink. It is a scene I will close my eyes and remember with delight for years to come. Then we went to the wine cellars where the passionate young winemaker had us sample his best wines as he described their techniques. The whole things was charming and rustic, and the wine was great. The whole day was a unique and fascinating take on what might seem like a standard itinerary. If we return to Barcelona we will definitely take other tours with Spanish Trails.

    We did the sea kayak and caves tour with Craig and Lya! This was a unique and exciting opportunity to see something off the beaten path, and the scenery was extraordinary. Booking, meeting, transportation...all of it was a breeze. Craig was a knowledgeable and engaging leader. It was a great opportunity to get out of the city and see some of Catalunya’s natural beauty.

    Two tours with Craig, a university faculty member. An interesting 3 hour walking tour of the very old section of Barcelona and an exceptional all day wine tour in the Priorat area outside Barcelona. He was helpful, attentive, personable, and very knowledgeable. Highly recommend him! Shelley and Bob from Portland Oregon

    A group of us took a private 2-day backpacking trip in the Pyrenees with Spanish Trails and it was amazing! It was great getting to enjoy the hike and the views without worrying about the navigation. Our guides knew the trails well and were a lot of fun! Highly recommend.

    The trip I took to Girona with Spanish Trails was amazing! We got to see the big parts of the city, walked around in the forest, and had some really good food. Our tour guide was very informative and knowledgeable and it was just a train ride away from Barcelona. Highly recommend.

    Really great experience! I booked a tour for 4 (Costa Brava & Medieval Girona) and our host was the best. He was a very safe drivers, chatty and informative, and incredibly nice, thoughtful, and warm. He is very good at respecting group time vs tour time and was always ready to show and tell us little secrets to each location. Very, very happy with the entire process and would book again.
