Spain Cultural Tours

Outstanding trip that was well worth the investment. was an absolute standout as our Travel Director. While Trafalgar already has a strong reputation, she truly put her own personal stamp on the trip and made it exceptional from start to finish. She built genuine, easy connections with guests and made everyone feel seen and cared for. Her positive energy, professionalism, and warmth showed through in both group settings and one-on-one moments. Thanks to , the trip felt not just well-run, but truly special. I could easily list countless thoughtful things she did and said throughout the trip, but one moment especially stayed with me. I mentioned in passing that my daughter loves cats (almost as much as does), and later that evening during her free time, I received a WhatsApp message from her with a photo of a cat sweater she’d spotted in a local shop, asking if my daughter might like it. What meant the most to me was knowing that this was personal time, and she still took a moment to follow up on a simple conversation we’d had earlier. People like are special. I hope Trafalgar knows what a gem she is!

Absolutely fabulous trip. Our trip leader Raquel was superb. I can’t speak highly enough of her. She was so knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the landscape and led us on many varied walks sharing her extensive knowledge. The trip was well organised with good accommodation and private transport for the most part. It was also interesting to experience the public transport on the mountainous roads and see some local towns and villages. Dining options were good and we experienced both local and world cuisine. The group size was ideal and we were extremely lucky to have a great group of fellow walkers. The grading of the holiday was accurate in our view, with both easier and more challenging elements. It was our first holiday with Explore but will definitely not be our last. Excellent.

The trip was just long enough for us to get a taste of Europe- well organized and quality. The only problem we had, however was sorted, was that our first trip Manager was not as clued up and informative as the one that replaced him. He struggled to grab the attention of the group and didn't share information on where we were and what we were doing. However, when joined it was a whole different experience. She knew what she was doing and captured the entire groups attention. The hostels were clean and well situated- we were never more than a 2km walk from the city center. What a great way to spend Christmas.

- was amazing and had a great experience. The trip and atmosphere was incredible. Was very happy and impressed with the experience. Excellent is not the word is outstanding!!!

The itinerary was excellent but a bit hectic. We visited a lot of UNESCO sites that we wanted. The tour director and the driver were excellent. The tour was extremely organised with no hiccups whatsoever. The local guides were all professional and knowledgeable. The hotels and included meals were hit and miss though. Some meals were very good but not all and some hotels seemed pretty basic with no kettle and bottle water provided. Otherwise, the sightseeing part and the people part were great and enjoyable. Would recommend.

The tour, the tour manager, the accommodations were all great! I just wish that it had lasted longer. This was our 6th time to travel with Collette, and we were very pleased.
