What travelers think of our Spain experiences

Monica 7 February 2026

We had Lisa...she was wonderful... our walk about of Madrid was through her lens which helped us see things we would never have noticed about the history and certain icons that are a building or establishment significant. Would work with her again

We had an awesome tour with Antonio. He was knowledgeable and was able to cater the tour to our family likes and interests. We did one or two slight diversions from the original plan, but it worked out fantastic! Would highly recommend him.

Lisa was an excellent host. She was sweet, knowledgeable, and adapted our tour for our senior with a wheelchair. She even planned the route so we could avoid hills and stairs.

Gwen and myself enjoyed a wonderful tour from Patricia Morcillo on Wednesday, January 7th. Her wealth of knowledge included Sol, The Royal Palace, Plaza Mayor, and much more. For nearly 3 hours we journeyed through the most important historics in Madrid. I’m confident that we learned a lot more because of the Tour from Patricia than previously known. I would recommend the tour to anyone!

I was fortunate enough to get to know our host (Patricia) and experience this tour with my older one. She is very knowledgeable and skilled at what she does. She took the time to help us understand the nuances of Spanish Culture, the city vibes of Madrid and its many hidden spots for shopping, I just wish we had more time on this one! Thanks very much, Patricia! Very much appreciated!

FAQs

Your questions, answered

Are experiences the same as tours?

No. Our experiences are unscripted and designed around you. Instead of following a rigid itinerary, your host will plan a personalized journey that feels natural, immersive, and unique.

What if I don’t know what I want to explore?

That’s completely fine! Select an experience theme or a flexible discovery experience, and after booking, answer a few questions so your host can design the perfect experience for you.

Will I be able to speak to my host beforehand?

Yes. After we match you with your host, we’ll introduce you so you can chat about the plan and make any tweaks before the day.

How do you match me with a host?

We ask a few questions. After you book, you’ll fill out a short questionnaire about your interests and travel style. We’ll then match you with the best local host to design your experience.

Can I request specific places or types of stops?

Yes! After booking, you will receive a questionnaire where you can highlight must-visit spots and anything else you’d like to include, and your host will craft your experience around them.

Will I know my itinerary in advance?

Yes, you will have the opportunity to chat with your host directly and agree on a plan for the day. However, there’s always room for spontaneity and local surprises!

Can I mix different themes in one experience?

Yes! You can blend food, culture, history, neighborhoods, or even a bit of nightlife if time allows. Just share your interests in the questionnaire, and your host will build the day around them.

Can my host meet me at my accommodation?

Hotel meet-ups are available upon request in central areas. If you're staying outside the city, your host will recommend the best meeting spot and guide you with directions.

Can I cancel if my plans change?

Yes. You can cancel for free up to 24 hours before your experience date—no questions asked.
