Barcelona Tours in October 2026

I recently completed the tour through Northern Spain. Our tour guide, Laura was very knowledgeable and took good care of us. She led the group professionally and with humour. The cities and communities that we visited were interesting, culturally diverse and easy to walk around, except for the cobblestones, but that is Europe. Loved having time to sit in the piazzas and enjoy a drink or meal. Would recommend for those who like visiting unique areas and not just big cities.

Love our tour manager, he made it fun & was very informative about the places we were going. Appreciated seeing off the beaten path areas. Getting to experience the culture of a Fado meal, having a meal in the home of local family, cooked by them! Doing part of the Camino trail and day trip to France were such great experiences for us. We loved our trip.

This is a fairly rigorous itinerary and there is a lot of walking involved, as you would expect in Europe. Sidewalks are sometimes narrow and cobble stoned. If you have any difficulty maintaining balance and walking over a mile at a time, this itinerary will tax your ability. If you take advantage of the many additional tours offered, many of which are in the morning, and evening meals, you are in the coach from 8 am until 9 pm.

A great experience of Spain and Portugal giving us an understanding of the culture and history. Our favorite experiences were seeing the Port cellar, the olive mill, and the winery. Learning the history of how these industries have affected the culture and how important they remain to these nations was wonderful. We also enjoyed the many cathedrals and each one’s unique history. Overall a very enjoyable, informative experience.

Walks were varied & were done in a logical manner with easier ones first gradually increasing in length & severity. All the walks were capable of being done by an experienced walker. Our guide, Bert, was very knowledgeable & also ensured that all the guests were comfortable going at their own pace.

We had a wonderful trip to Spain and Portugal with Trafalgar! We saw so many amazing places in two weeks! We were happy we opted for all the Optional Experiences. We were able to see and learn so much more about each location from the tour guides. They were very knowledgeable and spoke passionately about their tours, along with adding their own humor to the stories. Our tour director, Javier, was excellent! He was like our father away from home. He cared for us, watched over us and guided us from beginning to end. He was a fun-loving man who made us laugh all the time! I cannot say enough good things about Javier. He made our trip extra memorable! João was an amazing driver! He kept us safe on the roads, he was timely with pick up and drop offs. Worked so hard to unload our luggages behind the scenes. His driving and parking skills were superb! They made a great team! This is our second tour with Trafalgar and we love this company! We're already booked for our next adventure with Trafalgar!
