Barcelona Explorer Trips

I loved my Back Roads tour to Northern Spain. Everyday was fabulous! Julia was the most wonderful tour guide. She was knowledgeable, enthusiastic & such fun!! The best tour guide ever! The accomodation was better than I imagined. Very disappointed in our meal at Monasterio de Boltaña. It was inedible! I hate to think what we’d paid for it!!!!!

Julia was an exceptional tour leader, her ability to speak Spanish was a fantastic help.. She had a lot of patience and was a great organiser. Antonio the driver was tops and we felt safe in is hands

Great trip!! From the hotels, to the optional extras and the time spent in each place was awesome. Didn't feel too rushed, the travel days weren't too bad/long and all of the group activities really helped me experience and immerse myself into the Portugese and Spanish culture

We really enjoyed our tour, our guide Georgina was outstanding. The accommodation was great and each day was timed to perfection with walking, activities, leisure and travel. We also had a great group of fellow travelers.

We saw some amazing places and stayed in wonderful places. Our guide and local guides did a great job of instilling a sense of how proud the people are of what they have been through history. I don’t think I had ever heard of Girona, but it was a wonderful stop. Pamplona was a bucket list stop so only half a day is somewhat disappointing. We had the most amazing tour director. Julia went so far behind her duties to make sure we appreciated that part of the world. She organized group meals that were so much fun and gave us a great taste of local customs. She introduced us to Basque cheesecake. She told us about quirky local customs.

The Backroad Highlights of Northern Spain was a wonderful tour. OUr tour guide Georgina was very helpful and was able to provide many interesting facts about the areas we visited. She also took time out to help with restaurant bookings and also took those, who were keen walkers, on some longer walks. The Pyrenees region is beautiful and formed a major part of the tour. We would like to do other Backroad Tours in the future.
