Spain Tours and Vacation Packages

The Iberian Inspiration was an amazing tour, and our tour guide Chiara was amazing and went above and beyond to make the tour fun, informative and easy. It was a great experience and I would highly recommend going on a Backroads Tour to anyone.

Majorca Hike: Sierras & Monasteries - lived up to all the pictures! Accommodation was as described (Valldemossa was a highlight) and the walks were all fantastic. A highlight was fresh orange juice on the walk to Deia. Having walk options meant you could manage indifferent weather (which was rare). Our second U Tracks and we are already planning another one.

Fantastic week of cycling in a beautiful part of Spain. Exactly as described, we covered about 28 miles a day with about 40 on the final day, cycling through fields of wild poppies and flowers, traditional villages, almond trees, olive groves, hills (some pretty big) and some stunning views. Some climbs were steep and tough, and some cycling was on gravel tracks which some people found challenging. If you're not a regular cyclist, or mid-level fitness, an e-bike may be the best option - you can still cycle most of the way and use the extra power when you need it. Our guide, Miguel Angel, was perfect - patient, gentle, generous with his time. He looked after us exceptionally well and went the extra mile on numerous occasions, without fuss. He genuinely wanted to make sure we all had the best time possible - and we did. His knowledge of the area and route was comprehensive (he's a Murcia local), as was his knowledge of bikes - we had one puncture which he fixed in a flash, and we were on our way again. He really made a difference to the success of the trip. The accommodation was good but basic in some places - no problem though. The food and drinks in the evenings were all excellent, especially the last night when Miguel took us to an authentic, busy local restaurant in Murcia where he ordered an array of wonderful dishes for us all - definitely a highlight. A wonderful experience in a beautiful part of Spain.

We had a very enjoyable holiday. Our leader Juan Jose was excellent, very knowledgeable and pleasant. He and his family run the small hotel in Sotres, where we were based. It's pretty basic but quite adequate and very friendly. The group was very sociable and everyone enjoyed the 'craic' in the evening. One minor criticism:- I think the grading of the walk is a bit misleading and would grade it higher than moderate, mainly as the hikes were quite long and at times the ascents were prolonged. In summary:- a great holiday.

It is a nice full experience to see both the North and South of Spain. A lot of the optional excursions were good. The bus drivers and our tour director did a great job. Sometimes it felt rushed with just 1 night at a location, but it was cool to see so many cities in 18 days

We took advantage of all of the optional excursions, so that we saw a lot of Spain. Almost every afternoon, we had some free time to relax with some down time. We averaged roughly 9,500 steps each day with one day at over 13,000 during our first day in San Sebastian. The local guides were excellent, with deep knowledge and a warm and welcoming manner.
