Your overall comments on the trip and the travel company:

Our travel specialist of the company planned an absolutely perfect family vacation (2 parents, 2 adult sons and their spouses) in Spain in October, 2019.
After exchanging initial emails about about budget, dates, ages, physical abilities and interests, our travel specialist planned a trip that included relevant sites and activities, top-notch hotels, personal drivers and knowledgeable guides. Every detail was taken care of including train tickets, museum tickets, dinner reservations and even a personal WIFI that we could carry with us throughout the trip. Our itinerary included both the cultural "musts" and opportunities to find the delights that come from a casual walk through town and meals in local tapas places.
Local guides were invaluable. Each provided their own personality and insight. They were able to pivot when our interests were piqued by unexpected finds.
I cannot say enough how much having personal drivers enhanced the trip. They allowed us to focus on the "fun" parts rather than the details of navigation.
Our travel specialist was professional, knowledgeable, flexible and a joy to work with. There is no way I could have planned this trip on my own, even with all the available online travel sites, recommendation and ratings.

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

In addition to the cultural sites:
Personal guides in every city. Terrific insight.
The Plaza de Espana in Seville. Yes, it's a beautiful place, but it was fun to see that people from all over the world, speaking many different languages, are brought together by a site that was used as a location in a Star Wars film. Many were recreating a scene where Padme and Anakin are walking in Nabu. A non-English speaking person asked my son to take a series of photos of her and her boyfriend and afterward parted with a joyful "may the force be with you."
The food- high, low and everything in between. Food is such an important part of learning about a culture. It's also one of the most fun. A tapas crawl in Madrid on our last night with a local guide who took us way off the tourist path and shared his passion for food and spirits.
5 star hotels. A good night's sleep and a full breakfast to power the day.
Time with family. That's what it's all about.

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

That's a tough one. I surveyed our whole group and we couldn't think of a thing. The trip was perfect. It will be one of our fondest memories.
