Oleg, it was a real pleasure to plan another trip for you, this time in Barcelona. Having clients come back to us after a previous trip is something we never take for granted, and it means a great deal to know that we got it right for you again. Thank you also for recommending Totally Spain to your friends — we really appreciate it.

Hi Marie-Helene,

Thank you so much for this lovely review. After your trip to Andalucía a few years ago, it was great to have the opportunity to work with you and Alan again and show you a very different part of Spain.

I'm particularly pleased you enjoyed the guides. We are very fortunate with the people we work with in the north, and it sounds like Xavier at the Guggenheim made quite an impression! I'll make sure your comments are passed on.

And of course, it was lovely to finally catch up with you at the Parador in Santillana del Mar.

Thank you again for trusting us with another trip. It was a real pleasure having you back.

Warm regards,

Ken

Hi Brendan,

Thank you for another lovely review. I only just spotted it!

It was a pleasure helping you and Cathi put this trip together, and I'm so pleased everything worked out just as planned. I was especially happy to read your comments about Zaragoza. It's a city that often surprises people, and I know from our conversations beforehand that it was exactly the sort of place you both enjoy—easy to explore on foot, full of character and without the bustle of larger cities.

Thank you too for your kind words about the guides and the arrangements. It always means a great deal coming from you both.

As always, it's been a pleasure working with you, and I hope we can help with another Spanish adventure before too long. Maybe in Cantabria, my neck of the woods, where we first bumped in to each other.

Warm regards,

Ken

Thank you so much for your kind review. It was a real pleasure helping you and Sue to plan another trip, and I'm delighted you enjoyed Portugal as much as you did.

I really appreciated your comments about our guides. We put a lot of thought into the people we work with, so it's wonderful to hear that Claudia, João, Elsa and Pedro all made such a positive impression. I'll be sure to pass your kind words on to them.

Thank you as well for your continued trust in Totally Spain. It means a great deal when clients come back to travel with us again, and I look forward to helping you plan the next one.

Thank you, Vita.

What I enjoyed most about your review was that even after so many trips together, you still let us persuade you to try somewhere new. Alcalá de Henares doesn't always get the attention it deserves, so it was lovely to read that you enjoyed it as much as we hoped you would.

I also smiled when I read your comments about Esther. I'll be sure to pass them on to her. She has a real gift for making places and works of art come alive, and I know she'll be genuinely touched by your kind words.

It's been a privilege helping you plan so many different trips over the years, and we never take the trust of returning clients for granted. Thank you for continuing to travel with us. We all look forward to helping with the next one.

Warm regards,

Dear Ann,

Thank you so much for your wonderfully thoughtful review. It was an absolute pleasure working with you and Doug once again, and I’m so pleased to hear that your second experience with us lived up to expectations.

I particularly enjoyed helping shape this more extensive and deeply personal itinerary with you both. Your curiosity about Spain’s lesser-visited regions, combined with your enthusiasm for history, food, and culture, made the planning process especially rewarding. I’m delighted that the local arrangements, guides, and travel documentation all contributed to a smooth and enriching experience across such a wide-ranging route.

Thirty days travelling through Spain is no small undertaking, so it means a great deal to know that everything felt seamless and thoughtfully coordinated along the way.

Thank you again for placing your trust in me and the team for a second time. We would be absolutely delighted to help you plan a third Spanish adventure whenever the mood strikes.

Warmest regards,

Belén

✧ Ann & Doug’s Journey Summary ✧

2 nights Plasencia · 3 nights Cáceres · 5 nights Sevilla · 3 nights Córdoba · 5 nights Málaga · 4 nights Valencia · 4 nights Zaragoza · 3 nights Madrid

Ann & Doug’s beautifully curated 29-night exploration of Spain unfolded at an unhurried and immersive pace, weaving together grand historic cities with lesser-known cultural treasures. Beginning in Extremadura, with stays in elegant paradores in Plasencia and Cáceres, the journey traced Roman, Moorish, and medieval heritage through Mérida, Trujillo, and Zafra before continuing south to Andalucía. Highlights included a flamenco evening and market cooking class in Sevilla, a night visit to Córdoba’s Mosque-Cathedral, olive oil tasting in the hills around Ronda, and leisurely days along the Mediterranean in Málaga and Valencia. The final stretch brought them through Aragón’s rich wine country and medieval villages, finishing in Madrid with a private excursion to Segovia. Throughout the month, carefully paced rail and private transport, centrally located hotels, expert local guides, and thoughtfully prepared travel documentation allowed for both independence and reassurance at every stage.

Dear Vera,

Please forgive the delay in replying to your lovely review — I have only just seen it.

Thank you so much for taking the time to write such generous words about your experience with us. It truly means a great deal. I’m especially pleased to hear that the balance of elegant hotels, private guiding, seamless transport, and carefully paced experiences allowed you to enjoy Spain in a relaxed and meaningful way.

Your itinerary combined some of Spain’s most iconic cities with deeply rooted cultural experiences, from Gaudí’s Barcelona and the monasteries of Montserrat to the layered Jewish, Moorish, and Christian heritage of Andalucía, finishing with the grandeur of Madrid and timeless Toledo. I’m delighted it all felt effortless and enriching from beginning to end.

Thank you as well for your particularly kind comments regarding my own involvement. It was a genuine pleasure helping shape this journey with you, and I’m so pleased the final experience reflected the atmosphere and authenticity you were hoping for.

I do hope Spain continues to call you back in the years ahead.

Warm regards,

What a pleasure to read your kind words—thank you so much! I’m delighted that you and Bill enjoyed your second adventure with us, and that everything flowed so smoothly from start to finish.

It was a real treat following your travels—especially when I spotted that wonderful photo you posted of the old city walls of Ávila. What an incredible shot! I’m so glad the itinerary, logistics, guides, and background materials all added to the experience and allowed you both to simply enjoy the journey.

We’d love to help plan another trip when the time is right—there’s still so much more to explore.

Trip Summary:

Anne and Bill’s 18-day bespoke journey through central and southern Spain blended history, architecture, and local colour with seamless logistics and thoughtfully selected experiences. Beginning with a rental car, they explored Cáceres, Mérida, and Seville, where private guides brought each city's layered past to life—alongside memorable visits to Itálica, the Dolmen of La Pastora, and an intimate flamenco performance.

From Seville, the trip continued through Córdoba and Consuegra, before transitioning to train travel from Toledo to Madrid. After recharging in the capital, Anne and Bill hit the road once more to discover Chinchón, Segovia, Ávila, and Alcalá de Henares—each offering unique cultural highlights and architectural beauty.

With well-located boutique hotels, a mix of private and self-guided touring, and curated background materials for each stop, their itinerary balanced freedom with structure—creating a relaxed yet deeply enriching experience. A wonderful second chapter in their ongoing discovery of Spain, supported by the kind of behind-the-scenes planning that makes everything appear effortless.

Dear Joel,

Thank you for your kind review and I really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.

It’s been a pleasure working with you on both trips, and I’m glad to hear the planning, guides, and support along the way have made a difference. The fact that you’ve come back to us for a second long itinerary says a great deal, and it means a lot.

Looking forward to helping with the next chapter whenever you're ready for Spain and/ or Portugal again.

Warm regards,
Belén


Trip Summary:

Joel’s second tailor-made journey with Totally Spain was a rich 18-day cultural and culinary exploration of Portugal, beginning with four nights in vibrant Barcelona before flying to Porto and diving into the heart of Portugal’s traditions and landscapes.

In Porto, private walking and panoramic tours unveiled the city's historic charm, complemented by a Fado show and a full-day excursion through the terraced vineyards of the Douro Valley—with a boat ride, quinta visit, wine tasting, and traditional lunch. From there, Joel and his travel companion explored Viseu, Santar’s Vila Jardim gardens and winery, and coastal towns like Aveiro and Costa Nova, all with private transfers and well-paced free time.

The journey continued south with visits to medieval Belmonte and Trancoso before a two-night stay in the walled town of Óbidos, followed by private guided day trips to Tomar’s Convent of Christ and the historic synagogue.

The final four nights were spent in Lisbon, where a mix of guided panoramic tours and gastronomic walking experiences brought the capital to life. Day trips to Sintra, Cascais, and Évora completed the itinerary—with all logistics and entrance tickets seamlessly arranged.

A beautifully layered trip through Portugal, combining regional depth, seamless planning, and a thoughtful balance of independence and expert guidance.

Dear Jeremy,

Thank you very much for your review—and for your continued trust in us over the past two decades. I only just saw your review today, and wanted to say how much I appreciate your kind words.

It's always a pleasure to work with you and Rommy, and I’m glad to hear this latest trip came together as planned. We know how important the finer details are, and it’s rewarding to know they’re noticed and appreciated.

Looking forward to helping with the next one, whenever that may be.

Best regards,
Ken

Trip Summary:
Jeremy's itinerary was a focused and scenic journey through Cantabria and the Basque Country, designed as a relaxing counterpoint to their earlier travels along the northern Camino de Santiago. The trip blended charming countryside stays with short cross-border excursions into southern France, all while maintaining a comfortable and unhurried pace.

Following their Camino walk, they left Llanes and continued to Cosgaya, nestled in the Cantabria Picos de Europa. Their time here included a memorable ride on the Fuente Dé cable car, with spectacular views over the mountain peaks. From there, they continued to the Puente Viesgo area and an exclusive boutique Palace hotel, enjoying one of the Cantabrian region’s finest countryside retreats.

Private drivers and pre-arranged transfers made for smooth logistics throughout, including day trips to Bayonne and St. Jean de Luz in the French Basque Country, and thoughtful planning around car rental and return in Torrelavega and Bilbao. Carefully selected hotels, scenic drives, and support throughout ensured the experience was relaxed yet enriching.

Dear Melissa,

Thank you so much for your deeply touching review. It was truly an honour to help you and your family create such a meaningful journey—one that paid tribute not only to your father’s memory but also to the heritage and places that meant so much to him.

I'm so pleased to hear that everything—from the hotels and timing to the professionalism of our partners—supported the experience you hoped for. It was our goal to ensure you could focus entirely on the moments that mattered, and I’m grateful to know that the planning helped make that possible.

If ever you choose to return to Spain, whether to revisit meaningful places or explore new corners, it would be a privilege to assist you once more.

Trip Summary:

Melissa’s 13-night journey through Spain was a moving tribute to her father—carefully designed to honour his memory and birthplace. Beginning in Madrid, she travelled north to León and the ancestral villages of Villalba de la Loma and Mayorga, before spending time with family in Gijón. The itinerary continued to the historic streets of Salamanca, with a stay in a converted palace hotel, before heading to Torrevieja for time at leisure.

The final days were spent in vibrant Barcelona, where Melissa explored Gaudí’s Sagrada Familia and Parc Güell, with pre-booked entries to avoid queues, and enjoyed a private guided tour bringing the city’s modernist landmarks to life. With every transfer, ticket, and hotel carefully chosen and timed, the trip unfolded with ease, allowing for space to reflect and connect. A truly special journey—rich in heritage, memory, and quiet moments of meaning.

The final four nights were spent in Porto, where highlights included a wine cellar tour with a Fado performance, a deep dive into the Douro Valley, and a day exploring Braga and Guimarães. A final night in Lisbon rounded off this beautifully curated journey—a perfect harmony of private guides, elegant hotels, and thoughtfully timed experiences.

Dear Dan,

Wow—thank you ever so much for your incredible review! I truly appreciate the time you took to share your experience in such detail—and I’m especially touched by your kind words about my responsiveness and persistence (yes, sometimes a little push is needed when we’re racing against the clock!).

It was an absolute pleasure to design this trip with you, and I’m so pleased that it hit the mark, especially as your first experience with a private itinerary. I know how important flexibility, clarity, and peace of mind were for you both, and it means a lot to know that the logistics, guides, drivers, and hotels all supported that sense of ease and enjoyment.

I’m especially glad that your private day to Fátima was so meaningful. That personal touch from the driver says everything about the type of people we choose to work with—and I’ll be sure to pass on your thanks to him.

Should Spain or Portugal call again (and I hope they do!), I’d be delighted to assist you both in planning the next chapter of your travels.

With warmest regards,

TRIP SUMMARY
Dan & Irene’s 6-night custom journey from Barcelona to Madrid, Seville, Lisbon and Fátima was a fast-paced yet beautifully balanced exploration of culture, cuisine, and faith. From tapas trails in Madrid to Moorish palaces and flamenco shows in Seville, and on to the cobbled lanes of Alfama in Lisbon, their adventure was crowned by a moving private day trip to Fátima. With seamless high-speed trains, expert local guides, and handpicked hotels throughout, it was a tailor-made experience designed for flexibility, depth, and delight—Totally Spain, from start to finish.
