(TrustPilot wouldn't let me enter a date more than a year ago but we have traveled with them 3 times so far) We are preparing for our 4th trip with Culture Discovery Vacations. We've been to Italy twice, Portugal once, and now we're headed to Madrid, Spain. This company does SO much more than take you to locations and give you a history lesson before moving on. No, CDV wraps its arms around you and welcomes you by introducing you to locals who become friends by giving you a place at their table, and giving you the opportunity to prepare a traditional meal, drink all the wine you like, and learn what it's really like to LIVE there. These trips are about relationships forged through a common love of the land you visit and the timeless traditions that make it special. You don't go to the tourist traps, you visit places that you've sometimes never heard about before, but instantly feel that you belong. It's a learning experience you never expected, and you come away wishing you had just a few more days - or weeks. I can't say enough wonderful things about their staff; these lovely people are not just chosen but IMO, divinely appointed to be a part of this group. You are never rushed through a place, you are given the chance to relax and take in the scenery, the amazing food, and the people. There isn't enough time or words to accurately describe how excited I always am to meet new CDV friends and find out what they have in store for me! The only thing I can tell you is, choose one of their trips - you absolutely cannot go wrong!
