Madrid 11-Day Tours and Trips

The trip will be memorable for many reasons. Our tour leader Lucas is a commendable young man, who knew exactly when and were he was needed and when to relax and let us enjoy our own company. His knowledge of the area and the environment was extensive and he delivered it in a relaxed and unobtrusive way. A special thank you must also go to our two leaders, who hosted the tours in Leon and Santiago. Both were incredibly knowledgeable and made everything funny and not at all dry, which some tours can be. The hotels were of a good standard and a special mention has to made about Hotel Pazo de Sedor. After a very long day it was like an oasis at the end of a very long walk. The building, which is an old manor house, the staff and food were quite brilliant. A special thank you, has to go to my fellow travellers, we were an amazing group which made everything even more special.

This tour took us through a wonderful variety of landscapes, historical sites and picturesque villages. As we drove, we learned about the civilizations that had moved into each area over thousands of years, the effect that had on the culture and beliefs of the inhabitants. We visited traditional farms and businesses which produced food and wine that is famous around the world. Our guide was delightful in gently unwrapping each of the regions we visited to make our experiences authentic and memorable.

It was a fabulous tour. Great tour guide and the experiences we had were superb. Some great walks to El Hambre and plenty of time to get explore and rest. The accomodation was simply amazing, most was situated in the old Medina’s. The driver was excellent and we travelled at a good rate. Plenty of photo stops and historical information made the venture memorable.

We can highly recommend Iberian Inspiration as we loved it. Our group was fantastic and we had so much fun traveling throughout Spain. Our group leader(s) were knowledgable and we all became friends. This trip was our third trip with Blue-Roads and once again we were impressed with the choice of activities (especially the ones that were not planned), and hotels. We will definitely return for another trip with Blue-Roads

We loved the fact that the little bus could be navigated ( by Carlos) through narrow streets, historic hotels established in great locations, professional, informative, approachable guide, Eva. All wonderful thank you.

Just brilliant! I can't recommend this trip enough. It was tough going at times but all worthwhile when we eventually marched into Santiago in glorious sunshine. Our guide, Rocio, was beyond brilliant. She was so supportive, set the pace to suit everyone and kept us all going when people were struggling towards the end of the day (usually me). She helped us all in so many ways over the 12 days and always with great efficiency, competence and good humour. Nothing was EVER a problem. It was truly a fantastic experience, not always easy but the people you meet, the sights you see and great sense of achievement when you are done make it all worthwhile. So, if you are reading this and thinking should I/can I/will I do the Camino – DO IT. I promise you won't regret it.
