10 Day Private Tour: It was such a pleasure to work with Emily. Everything went off without a hitch! There were some changes either in drivers or guides but this was communicated in advance via whats app. Drivers were always on time and very professional. Our 2 favorite guides were Daniel Guia in Madrid and Luis Salas in Seville. They gave great recommendations for shopping, restaurants or sights to visit when you were on your own. We had so many wonderful experiences on our trip from the private horse show outside of Cordoba with a live Spanish guitarist to the white villages , tapas bars, walking tours of Seville, Madrid and the Alhambra. Emily was in contact all the time if needed . Sorry Emily it took so long to write this, life gets so busy and that 's why you have Guided Spain plan your trip!

South Spain Tour I used Emily and her team to help plan and organize a 20-day long trip through South Spain. We visited Granada, Malaga, Frigiliana, Arcos De la Frontera, Jerez, Seville, Ronda, Madrid, Toledo, the Alpujarras, Cordoba... omg each stop was amazing and the tour guides and drivers were world-class. I can't rave about her team enough- such an incredible company to work with, the customer service was amazing. We had drivers, tour guides and assistance with Train Bookings. I credit the success of the trip directly to Emily and her team. My father is older and can't walk a lot, Emily took that into consideration with planning and it made such a difference with my father enjoying the trip more. I am definitely using Emily and her team again for our next trip to Spain.
