An unforgettable experience! Nick and Ana were incredibly experienced and helpful taking us around Spain. While we were visiting in December, at a more touristy time of year, they knew all the local secrets of how to get around without feeling overwhelmed by tourists and tourist traps. During our trip, we visited the Costa del Sol, Andulucia region, and Madrid. Each came with its own unique experiences. Even though it was the off season on the Costa del Dol, they helped us find activities and restaurants that were open and inviting. We experienced so much warmth and kindness from locals due to Nick and Ana’s wealth of knowledge and comraderie with business owners. We found ourselves in places most tourists might never find all due to their good communication.When traveling through the Andulucia region, Nick made sure to stop at any of the places we found interesting on the way. It made our experience one of a kind and extra special. I don’t feel like we missed a single thing! Having a local take you through Madrid is the most fun you can have. We found so many more gems of bars, restaurants, shops, markets, breweries, etc. all because they knew what neighborhoods catered to our expectations. Being able to rely on Nick and Ana to guide us through the city let us take our eyes off the map and just enjoy roaming the beautiful city streets. I can’t wait to book them for our next European (or Asian) adventure! They’re the first ones I’ll call when I need help planning a trip. They’re are so knowledgeable about traveling and getting the most bang for your buck.
