Anonymous | Traveled in October
Guillermo our Guide was amazing so knowledgeable kind helpful and patient. The bus driver Eusabio was fantastic. He was so cheerful loading and unloading our bags and we always felt safe while he was driving. The itinerary and accommodation were really excellent too.
Catherine Ru | Traveled in October
I cannot fault this tour of Northern Spain. It was loaded with charm especially the medieval hilltop villages scattered throughout the countryside each with their own compelling history. From Bilbao and the Guggenheim museum, the Bayonne Cathedral and the towns history, the vineyard and winery of LaGuardia, walking in the footsteps of the bulls to the ring in Pamplona and with a cookery class where we worked for our lunch! From delightful boutique hotels to a monastery for accommodation where we were wined and dined very well. No complaints!
Emperatriz A. | Traveled in September
We are very satisfied with all aspects of our trip. The guides, the driver, the hotels, the sites visited. Unfortunately we had to end it prematurely because of a medical emergency. Would love to have the opportunity to complete the last leg of the trip from Seville to Zaragoza with the grand finale in Barcelona

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!!!!!
Logan D | Traveled in September
This trip taught me so much about not only other cultures in this world and the history behind them, but about myself and the person that I can shape myself to be in this world. The people, experiences, and places that this trip offers is truly life changing in the best way possible. I had the most incredible experience and will be going on another trip as soon as I can.
