We were in the Canary Islands and we had the privilege of having the best guides, allowing us to know the best places and secrets of the places we visited. Yranzú in Lanzarote showing us the magic of who had the vision of what it is today, the great César Manrique. And our guide Jaime in Tenerife who not only took us along less touristy trails in Teide, but also took us to special corners and enjoy the good gastronomy of the place. Really 100 points 👌

I cannot speak highly enough of the experience we had with Your Trip To Spain and Portugal. Ana and her team put together an amazing itinerary which allowed us to see so much of Spain in the 2 weeks we had. Our guided tours were seamlessly organised and every single guide was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. Having the local phone was great and we loved the app which detailed our programme every day. I would highly recommend Your Trip To Spain and Portugal if you are looking for a memorable, completely hassle-free holiday. Their service was exceptional and we will be forever grateful to them for the fabulous family memories they helped us to create.

Having never used Elsewhere, we had a little bit of sticker shock when we saw the initial pricing and wondered if we were going to get the value for our 30th Anniversary trip to Spain. However, after 16 glorious and worry-free days, we feel Sara Gámez and the team on the ground exceeded our expectations with a wonderfully planned trip that took us from Madrid to the incredibly beautiful cities and villages in Andalusia and then on to the beach coves and quaint towns along the Mediterranean in Costa Brava. Too many amazing experiences to name all but highlights definitely included tapas and spirits tour of Madrid, Flamenco and more tapas in Seville, an immersive Sherry experience and the most incredibly prepared lunch by the wife of a charming vineyard owner outside Jerez, the view of Toledo from the hillside, gazing out at the stunning beauty of Costa Brava from kayaks along the rugged Mediterranean coast. Excellent guides and drivers and the agency was always there to support if we needed anything. Highly, highly recommend.

WOW! What an amazing trip. From the day of our first contact with Ana we knew she was passionate, knowledgeable, attentive to detail and thorough. What we didn't realize is how well connected and how highly respected Ana, Patty and the YourTripToSpain&Portugal Team are in the industry. While on this trip, we heard multiple times that, "with Ana and Patty looking after us, we were sure to have a wonder trip" and "how much the guides enjoyed working with Ana and Patty."

The itinerary we settled on was amazing. The accommodations exceeded our expectations, the drivers and guides were punctual, courteous, helpful, knowledgeable and professional and we the couple of times we contacted Ana for assistance/clarifications, her responses were immediate and most helpful.

We highly recommend YourTripToSpain&Portugal!

There were so many highlights on this trip; however, I'll list just a few:
• Touring Pina Palace in Sintra, Portugal
• Dinner at Ponto Final in Lisbon, Portugal and all the other amazing meals we had
• Private boat tour of the caves and beaches in the Algarve
• Day trip to Gibraltar
• Exploring the Pueblos Blancos (White Villages) in Andalusia
• Private tour of the Alhambra in Granada
• Ronda ... walking, hiking, staring at the natural beauty
• The mountains and forests of the Sierra de Tramuntana and especially Soller
• Gaudi Day: Guell Park, Sagrada Familia, Casa Batllo and Casa Mila (La Pedrera)
• Montserrat ... Cable Car, Hike, Boys Choir, etc.

This company is over the top wonderful from start to finish! They provided service from day one helping us decide on itinerary , hotels and anything else we wanted. They took the time to go through many options and sent great descriptions of all the possibilities. It was so nice to communicate with a trusted Agency personally. All our plans were on the AXUS app which was so nice to review the night before excursions, It included pick up times, driver and guide name and contact etc. It was a flawless trip!

Once we had our plan completed they were ALWAYS available for any questions or concerns we may have. They would communicate often during our trip through Whats app just to make sure all is well and let us know they were there if we needed anything.

Our trip was amazing. All of the guides and drivers were polite and helpful. Actually more than Helpful, they were Awesome!

I can not say enough positive about Your Trip to Spain & Portugal. I wish I could use them for all our European trips!

My boyfriend and I just got back from our two week vacation to Spain which was put together by Mercè. I can’t say enough about how wonderful it was with tours and events that were amazing and unique experiences unlike any I’ve done in the past. All of our guides were incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the places we were seeing and they taught us so much about the history of Spain and the venues we were touring. They were always on time or early, and they made each event fun and memorable.

The hotels, transportation, suggestions on meals and places to visit between our arranged tours were top notch and perfect for what we wanted. When I come back, I will without hesitation use them again and will certainly recommend them to our friends visiting the country!

My husband and I used Ana Calvera at Your Trip To Spain and Portugal for our three week trip in October 2023. Ana was unbelievable! Very thorough, personable, made wonderful suggestions, and she was in constant communication with us. I cannot say enough good things about her. We would most definitely utilize her services again. One of the best trips and travel agents around.

Exceptional every step of the way. The accommodations selected for us were top notch and well-situated. The guides they work with (food and general city walking tours) were engaging, knowledgeable and fun to be with. A live person was available and responsive whenever issues arose (dropping off luggage before rooms were ready, coordinating pick-ups, adjusting to a late schedule change). We had a spectacular week-long 3 city family vacation in Spain and I highly recommend them.

The ladies at YourTripToSpain&Portugal set us up with a wonderful 3-week trip to Spain and Portugal. We visited Barcelona, Granada, Sevilla, Madrid, Porto, Lisbon, and several places in between. Every hotel was centrally located with great amenities. All of our guided tours were top rate. I was especially impressed with the high-end food and wine that we were treated to when included on our tours. I would highly recommend this travel agency. Be prepared for lots of interesting activities - you'll need to pace yourself.

We used Your Trip to Spain and Portugal to plan our 25th wedding anniversary trip to Spain, and it was honestly the most incredible travel experience we’ve ever had. From the moment we landed to the moment we left, every single detail was taken care of so thoughtfully that all we had to do was enjoy ourselves. We started in Barcelona, staying in a beautiful boutique hotel in a perfect area. We had private guides and a driver throughout the city, and our favorite experiences there were a relaxed bicycle tour and an amazing scuba dive along the coast. We visited the major landmarks—La Sagrada Família, Park Güell, the Gothic Quarter—and every moment felt curated just for us. From there, we headed to Seville, where the team arranged one of the most memorable activities of the entire trip: shopping at the local market with a chef and then cooking a traditional meal with her in her home. It was such an authentic, intimate experience. We also had a flamenco lesson before seeing a live flamenco show, and learning the history and emotion behind the dance made the performance even more special. Our tours around the Alcázar, Plaza de España, and the historic neighborhoods were all private, perfectly paced, and full of great stories. On our way to Granada, we stopped in Ronda for a beachside picnic with a gorgeous view—it felt like something out of a movie. Granada itself was breathtaking, especially with our private tour through the Alhambra and the Albaicín. Again, the accommodations were beautiful and in the best part of town. Finally, we took a comfortable train to Madrid, where we toured the Royal Palace, the Prado, and the vibrant neighborhoods with yet another wonderful private guide. Every city felt effortless because transfers, tours, and timing were coordinated so smoothly. What really sets Your Trip to Spain and Portugal apart is how responsive they were—anytime we had a question or needed anything, they replied immediately and took care of it. We felt safe, supported, and genuinely looked after the entire time. This trip was a dream, and we owe that to their incredible planning, incredible partners, and truly personalized service. If you’re looking for a beautifully crafted, stress-free, unforgettable vacation, we couldn’t recommend them more.

I can’t recommend Ana and her team at Your Trip to Spain and Portugal highly enough! They did a phenomenal job planning our adventure across Spain—every single detail was thoughtfully handled, from our drivers and private tours to all the transportation within the country. Ana and her team stayed in touch throughout our travels, checking in to make sure everything was running smoothly. When we needed to add extra luggage mid-trip, they even worked over the weekend to ensure it was included in our flights. Their care and dedication truly made our trip stress-free and unforgettable!

My husband and I just returned from a glorious 12 day, custom itinerary, including the driving of our own vehicle for close to 350 miles in Andalusia, Spain. Patty, and all at YourTripToSpainandPortugal….We thank you so much! The entire experience was seamless…. from airport transfers,hotel transfers, the acquiring of our vehicle, the return of our vehicle the planned itinerary ….it simply could not have been done better. Not only were our guides personable and comfortable to be with, they were simply walking encyclopedias…..Every question that we asked was not only answered, but it was an answer in depth. Upon the finalizing of our itinerary, we received an APP that was our trip. It was the complete itinerary down to the name and telephone numbers of our guides. Complete addresses, complete day by day summary….what to expect and what to wear! I cannot thank you enough for making this trip simply wonderful!

We worked with Ana Calvera at YourTriptoSpain&Portugal to plan a 14 day trip from Barcelona to Alquezar to Larrede to San Sebastián. It was fabulous. Every detail was planned and executed flawlessly by Ana and her team. This included four hotel stays and 9 guides. We had non-stop fun! We had never been to the Basque Country and San Sebastián. Ana told us they would be fabulous and she was absolutely right. This is our second vacation with Ana and we highly recommend her if you are going to Spain and/or Portugal.

Our trip with various guides through Spain was 5 star-all guides-knowledgeable and so very nice! Carmen in Madrid, Clara, Alba, Peter,Paco and Ima-each full of information and details-well done!

Tim McCowan

Ana and her team provided us with the most excellent and memorable trip through Spain imaginable. From their arrangement and attention to every detail of our itinerary, listening to our needs and interests, to their excellent choice of experienced and high quality local guides and drivers for every transfer, to the fine selection of comfortable hotels, to making all the bookings for galleries, museums, trains and planes, and their availability 24/7, was outstanding. With the grace of storytellers and the insight of locals, our guides revealed the deeper spirit of each town and region, bringing the culture to life in unexpected ways, a great gift for non Spanish speakers. The provision of an app that contained not only our itinerary but all the documentation and guides for each town and dining options was a huge plus also. We would definitely book with them again.

The Most Stress-Free Trip We've Ever Had My wife and I have been lucky enough to travel to many places around the world, but our April-2025 journey organized by Your Trip to Spain and Portugal was easily one of the best. Ana and her team thought of every detail. All we had to was show up and enjoy these two beautiful countries! We went to 4 cities: Lisbon, Porto, San Sebastian and Barcelona. The itineraries were thoughtfully planned to give us great experiences without wearing us out too much. And the guides in each city were fun, knowledgeable and engaging. The transportation was always easy and on time, and the hotels were top-notch. When we return to the Iberian peninsula, we'll definitely use Your Trip to Spain and Portugal again.
