Travel Review: Mother-Daughter Spain Trip, Madrid, Barcelona, San Sebastian, Toledo, Girona, Prado & Guggenheim, Cooking Class

Outstanding from start (first contact) to finish (end of trip). Quick and flexible responses to some last minute needs (stemming from our side) to make changes during trip.  Many unique experiences we would have never had on our own (and we are pretty seasoned unassisted travelers).

The guides were all amazing: varied and interesting personalities, incredibly well informed on the topic(s) with which they were covering, fun, and accommodating.  Obviously carefully vetted and carefully picked for this particular trip.   When I was (seemingly) out of hearing distance my daughter seemed to be enjoying practicing her Spanish with them. 

We had the complexity that my 15-year-old daughter is an ambulatory partial paraplegic and it was just the two of us travelling on a mother-daughter trip.  At every turn they had worked subtle accommodations into schedule (always a driver on call nearby during private walking tours, etc.). In no way was the scope of our travels limited, and we never had to explain; all guides, drivers and hotels were briefed on her needs and, more importantly, her significant capabilities. Guides adjusted appropriately without any disability-centric discussion required. All seemed to feel perfectly competent in handling this (no solicitous "do you need a break?" questions, just a statement to both of us at the beginning to just let them know if we wanted to sit down and have a coffee break or whatever at any point.  Amazingly, the disability just wasn't an issue, which is as good as it gets.
