Throughout the trip, our guide Blanca was providing historical background and interesting facts about Spain. She was also quite mindful of the long trip and allowed us to sleep and rest during the 3-3.5 hour bus ride. Kudos to our bus driver, Sebastian for keeping us all safe during the wintry drive. Do not miss this 3 country tour with Amigo! It’s well designed with ample time for each of the places visited. Guide is knowledgeable and very caring about all the attendees.…”

He picked us up on time right at our hotel and made the drive to Montserrat fly by as he shared stories about the region, local culture, and what we were seeing along the way. Once there, he dropped us off to explore while he parked the van (down the hill - what a guy!). We wandered for a bit and then met up to explore the market together, sampling cheeses from vendors he clearly knew personally. Everyone greeted him warmly, and they treated us…”

“The trip was absolutely amazing. We had a small friendly group of 8 people. The guide was fantastic, we learnt so much and the timing at each stop was perfect. Alongside, the girl at the ranch who was so lovely too. Being someone a bit afraid of riding, they were both so supportive and I came out of the experience a lot more confident and proud of myself for getting back on a horse which I couldn’t have done without them. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and the scenery is truly one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen. You won’t regret booking this trip!Read…”
