Your overall comments on the trip and the travel company:

Raquel, our travel agent, was fantastic. We cannot stop raving about her amazing communication from the planning stages to the end of our trip!
She was super flexible with times to meet with us to plan the trip and really listened to us with regard to things we wanted to see and do. Raquel came up with so many unique experiences for us, from a personal guide through the markets of San Sebastian to cook dinner at a gastronomic society, to a motorbike tour in Madrid and so much more! She met us on our very first day at our hotel, which was lovely! There were little surprise treats along the way and regular communication about the days' events/schedule or just to check in. Raquel is so warm and genuine - it was an absolute pleasure to work with her and Maria, her counterpart.

What were the most enjoyable or memorable parts of your trip?

I think all four of us (two adults, and two college kiddos, 18 and 21) absolutely loved San Sebastian. Our days there included time at the beach right at our hotel, walking through the immaculate town and side trips to Biritz and Saint Jean de Luz France and the Rioja wine region. We loved our guide, who is a member of a gastronomic society and runs a tour agency, who took us to local markets to shop for ingredients of our choosing to create and cook a meal at her food club. It was a night none of us will soon forget! The motorbike tour in Barcelona was such a unique way to see the city as the sun was setting. And the personal kayak tour of Lloret de Mar showed us such beautiful places along the coast we never would have seen otherwise. Our guide for that was super knowledgeable and gave us a good lesson on kayaking as well.

If you could take your trip again, what would you do differently?

I would still see and do everything we did! Honestly, I wouldn't change much. We were tired by the end, not used to such late nights coupled with early morning starts. So perhaps I would try to start tours later in the mornings, but we were glad to get out of the heat midday and head to the pool or beach to cool off!
