Spain Wine tasting Trips

A really well paced holiday. Plenty to do and the walking pace was gentle and very enjoyable. I got to see parts of Spain and Portugal that I wouldn’t normally visit and taste quality wines that aren’t generally available in the UK. I would recommend this holiday to anyone who enjoys their food and wine.

I loved the trip! It was a great Experience and I would use Explore again! Magdalena was the best! Everything went very smoothly! Magdalena was very knowledgeable. Her recommendations enhanced our experience! I would only eliminate the Protos tasting. The smaller more intimate tastings were a lot of fun and I feel gave us a more real experience!

The trip was amazing. Our guide, Magdalena, made sure everyone was taken care of and that we had all the information needed, even though the Explore App provided excellent info about the itinerary. She went out of her way on more than one occasion to accommodate requests from the group. The places we visited were interesting and enjoyable and it felt like we got to see the places the locals would go to. And the walking views were fantastic. There was a good balance between tour time and down/free time.

Exceptional locations and cities in both the north and the south of Spain. Wonderful local tour guides, personable and very knowledgeable on the specific location. However, the structure and switch of Tour Director during mid tour (50% completed) was inefficient and badly planned. This was in effect, two (2) tours placed together and sequential which caused inefficiency during the tour. This should have been communicated to all the Spanish Heritage tour travelers much, much more clearly. Two SEPARATE hotels during the three days in Madrid was badly planned and structured increasing the pace, stress and frustration among many of the travelers who had signed up for the Spanish Heritage Tour. Mostly good and wonderfull, but badly planned and structured by the administration of Insight Vacation. Respectfully.

The best tour we have ever been on. Magdalena was a fantastic guide! She was extremely well prepared and organised, knowledgeable and lots of fun. Magdalena went out of her way to find new experiences that she thought the group would enjoy. We walked to places that we would never have found by ourselves and stayed in villages that were off the tourist track. The hotels were clean and comfortable. We are already looking for other walks run by Explore World and preferably led by Magdalena. We have already recommended this tour to many people we have met since we finished the walking tour.

If you choose to do all of the 'optionals' then you won't miss out on anything, but you will put on a lot of miles! Wear good supportive walking shoes. You are constantly 'on the go'. Be mindful, if you do not do any optionals, then you won't see anything unless you are pro-active and feel comfortable doing things on your own. Keep in mind when figuring the cost of this tour, that the optionals will cost you extra, as well as, all lunches and many of the dinners.
