5 Star Spain Tour Reviews — 31 to 60 of 190

Our Coastal Camino experience (self-guided) was truly amazing! The incredible scenery, the amazing hotels, and the connections we made wth fellow pilgrims from around the world. The tour company in Portugal was very responsive and went out of their way to ensure our experience was special. We stayed in the most incredible locations, including a fortress, a castle and an incredible old textile mill that has been converted into a literal ‘Garden of Eden’ with its own waterfall. We loved walking 5-6 hours per day (very achievable) and the routes were so beautiful (they took our breath away). Arriving at the Santiago de Compostela was an emotional and joyous experience. This trip exceeded our expectations and we are already planning our next Camino adventure!

The landscape was fantastic, the villages were beautiful, and we were mainly alone on the roads: very few cars. The hotels were also well chosen.

I really appreciated the thoughtful routing of the GPS track, it put in great places to experience so much that was wonderful in Catalan country. The mediaeval towns and historic spots, great restaurants and boutique hotels in unique settings. We had fabulous support from Your staff when we experienced misadventure on our first day, due some learning curves with the technology.

Exceptional organisation. Great contact person who was in touch daily and available instantly for any queries arising . Extremely helpful and gave advice as to sights and restaurants etc wherever we were. Excellent hire bikes and the route perfect with lesser roads and bike paths . We enjoyed the variety of cities, small towns , history and rural areas . Excellent accommodation. Would thoroughly recommend this self guided tour .

Route hotels and food were exceptional. Come prepared knowing how to navigate using technology.

Tripsite chose comfortable properties with fantastic food for our 7- day Spanish Way Camino hike. We appreciated their attention to detail which helped make our trek go as smoothly as possible.
We had need to contact their office during our trip. They responded quickly and the issue was resolved with ease.
We are already thinking about our next big adventure and look forward to using Tripsite again.

The route was varied, mountains the first half of the week then the coast the second (of course we were lucky with the weather). Food was great in various places. Hotels, especially along the coast, were very nice.

A good experience of a less well-known part of Europe to many tourists, especially Americans (Cadiz is well known but not the other parts of the Spanish Atlantic coast.

This is a wonderful trip and you definitely need e-bikes. The scenery is really nice and the bikes we had were simply amazing. We have e-bikes at home and the Scott e-bikes were far superior to ours. There are steep up and downs and easily half are on paths. Also, you come across a lot of walkers and you’ll need to work your way past them but you just have to be patient at times when the path is wet or narrow. Everyone was super nice in allowing us to pass. You do need more than basic riding skills for this ride. The hotels were great, the people along the way were awesome and locals are super. There are plenty of places to stop and get something to eat or drink along the way. The bike shop that sets up everything did a great job with the daily check ins, transfers to/from the airport and the GPS maps. They gave us a small GPS that proved very valuable and the routes took us to the hotel each day. The cathedral in Santiago was jaw dropping. To get in (free) it’s around the side.
We loved this and would encourage anyone to consider it. We did the 9 day and we were really glad we did as the 40 mile day would’ve been too much with the trails.

Was an excellent trip, beautiful scenery, great guide and wonderful food

Ignacio was a fantastic guide. Lodging was very nice. He was knowledgeable, helpful and fun.

This is in the top of the bike tours I've taken. We had a party of 8 and the local tour operator worked with us to make it happen (we've done a previous tour with this operator and they are top notch). One issue we have, my wife is short so finding a bike that fits her is a challenge, they came through 100% for us. The operator moves your luggage daily and provides assistance should you need it, they were great. Unless you are a strong biker I recommend an E-bike for this tour so you can concentrate on the many great sites.
The tour takes you to some of the top locations in Andalusia. We were picked up in Málaga and taken by van to Ronda for our first hotel. However, before you go to Málaga for the rendezvous take some time to tour some of the UNESCO sites in Spain, they seem to have more than any other country. Our hotels were wonderful and of Parador quality. You start in Rhonda which is famous for the bridges that span the canyon, the largest towers 390 feet above the canyon floor, and the oldest bullfighting ring in Spain. We rode local the next day and found the blue Surf Village!. The next day is to Grazalema where after a wonderful ride we soaked in the pool. Day four was through the town of Grazalema into Sierra de Grazalema Natural Park where you top out and then have a wonderfully long downhill descent ending up in Arcos de la Frontera, another one of those beautiful White Towns, remember to conserve your battery a bit for the last uphill! The next day was a great day of cycling ending in Medina Sidonia, will we get tired of white villages? The next day, how many have we been out here, ends in Vejer de la Frontera, yes another hilltop walled village. We saw fighting bulls grazing today and some of those wonderful black pigs we so loved to nibble on. Finally, we were riding to our destination Tarifa. This day was spent riding along the ocean, passing through fishing villages and as we closed in on Tarifa discovered it is one of the top wind sports destinations in the world, what fun to watch. Once at your hotel take some time to watch the ferries as they cross to Morrocco, yes you can see Morrocco from here. We loved this tour, the operator and all of the hotels. With some planning you can make this trip the cornerstone of a wonderful tour of Spain. We headed off to walk a Camino after this!

The medieval towns of Pedraza and Sepúlveda were wonderful. The Duratón River Gorge and Ermita de San Frutos.

It was great to stay for 2 nights in each hotel. Breakfasts were just continental (i.e. no cooked eggs). For a cycling tour it would be nice to have some more protein!

Tour was amazing, cycling was the right distance to enjoy each village. Accommodations were basic and quaint. I would recommend purchasing train tickets from Madrid to Segovia ahead of time, we went to the train station the day of travel and there were not many options and the price was 40 euros, not 11.

This is my 4th trip with Tripsite.
And I will definitely choose them every time!
This time was a family trip.
We are a party of 5 and our kids are mid 20s
It was their first bike trip and it exceeded the espectadores of everyone
The hotels are great, the route is superb!!
Beautiful views, the route is quite flat and with different scenarios which makes it even better and the Spanish people is great!!
Waking up with a great breakfast, heading to the next destination and being surprised with beautiful farms vineyards , medieval towns anthem arriving to Thea wire
Towns in the Mediterranean Sea is
Priceless.
The laughs and
Good Time with my family was the best

I highly recommend all of the tours I’ve done with Tripsite

This was great for family time . Friendly paths, great views , nice wine and food!

Everything great!

We loved our Catalonia bike trip! Having the routes set up for us without having to give them a thought was invaluable! They took us to a variety of towns each with their own flavor and style. The hotels were wonderful, and the tour operator couldn't have been more of top of picking up and delivering our luggage as expected. We would not hesitate to recommend this vacation to others and already have!

Riding through the cobblestone streets in every town. And taking in all the beautiful authentic homes and buildings.

The white villages were beautiful. The hotels were excellent and our guides were so kind and attentive. Great trip and we had e-bikes which we needed for elevation changes.

Though the entire self guided Ebike trip was amazing! (except for not being picked up at the airport in Porto on our arrival & having to take a taxis) For me probably the final leg of the EBike trip entering Santiago de Compestela knowing that we just completed the 7 day trip. At age 71 getting the Certificate of Completion is special. Though staying in the Castle in Bayonia & the Torre do Rio Hotel in Caldras de Reis where the waterfall flowed directly into the swimming pool were wonderful as well.

The whole trip was most memorable. From our arrival until the last day. The staff, the food and the accommodation was excellent. We had such a wonderful time. The scenery is so beautiful.

Riding along the coast, seeing the kite surfers, was amazing, in Tarifa, and the major down hill in the National park, was an incredible experience. Really well done trip, great guides, and hotels. The white villages were great - all the little back alleys, artisans at work, numerous small restaurants and bars to explore. Moroccan food in Vejer, and the dinner at the Pamadore, all wonderful.

This was a great trip! This was our first time doing a trip like this. We loved it and are definitely going to do it again.

The planning and logistics for the bike trip to Santiago was extraordinary: The GPS on our Garmen was easy to read; The transportation of our luggage to meet us at our new hotel each night was seamless; The staff gave us a walking tour of Porto and port tasting then on the start date of our 8-day bike trip escorted us out of Porto to ensure that all was OK with our bikes and ability. The selection of the hotel at each destination was wonderful and breakfast was always included before we mounted up again. The staff responded to any questions on What’sApp in a timely manner. There were no bike breakdowns or repairs during or 290 km trip for any of the 6 bikes of our group. A beautiful experience.

I loved the tour, the cities are beautiful, the hotels are fantastic, our guides are perfect and everything was wonderful.

We loved our entry into Spain from Portugal when traveling on the Camino de Santiago. In the morning hours we boarded a small boat and huddled with our bike, we crossed the river landing on a sandy shore where we disembarked directly on a beach (felt like survivor!). Later that day we entered Baiona where we stayed at the beautiful ancient castle Castillo de Monterreal that sits prominently at the entrance to the bay. The journey rewarded us with deliciously varied seafood, awesome biking and a spiritual uplift which we felt directly when entering into Santiago de Compenstela where hundreds of other people had pilgrimaged and shared their journeys. Don't miss the delicious handmade almond cookies made by nuns (it's a bit of a puzzle to find) and the Portugese Pastal de Nata. Thank you TripSite for everything you truly were our caretaker making our travels safe!

This bike trip was fantastic from beginning to end. We have been on many bike trips and this was one of the best. local partner did a great job of organizing and supporting the trip. The bikes and other equipment they provided were excellent. Would definitely use Tripsite again. The biking was varied, at times challenging, and interesting every day. At the end of each days ride we would look at each other and say “that was fun”. The hotels were all very good with a couple over the top. This certainly is a five star trip.

Fantastic route through rural Spain on quiet roads. More climbing than expected so be prepared to pace yourself unless you were born in Basque country. Food sources can be sparse so be sure to carry some nourishment at the start of the day.
Accommodations and hosts were good but as expected some rooms are very small and we we were in very rural communities for the first 3 days.
I've taken similar trips in Italy and Portugal which were very good but this ticked all the boxes for me.

The most memorable part of the trip was everything! Each location offered it's own special treat. The rides were diverse, beautiful, adventurous and enjoyable. The hotels exceeded our expectations. Breakfasts were far beyond anything we could expect.

The bikes could use a weight loss program. LOL. They were enjoyable to ride but had a few issues that need addressed. Brakes were an issue and needed cleaned daily to keep them from squeaking. Minor maintenance along the route was performed and minor adjustments for gear changing. Recommend going through them and giving them a lot of TLC.

We took this trip during the last week of April, and probably one or two weeks earlier would have been ideal to catch the very best of the wildflowers. The trip was excellent with very little highway biking and good hotels and transfers. Most of the biking was on quiet country roads with masses of flowers, olive groves, stone walls, and the scent of citrus blossoms everywhere. We've been on about 10 tours with Tripsite and this may have been the best.

The entire trip was excellent - memorable - great fun - challenging at times - but the hotels Tripsite booked us in were superb!

-Cycling along the coast of Portugal and Spain
-Spending the evening in Baiona at the converted nobleman's castle, Parador de Baiona and enjoying a VERY festive Saturday evening in town center
-Spending the night at the amazing "rural house, Torre do Rio, in Caldis Dos Reis
-Cycling the off-road Camino trails on the last two days, some challenging hills and descents as the alternative to many flat miles
-Entering Santigo de Compostela city limits during an intense 5-minute downpour that felt like a "cleanse" before arriving at the Cathedral of Santiago. Not sure how our guides arranged than one?
-Meeting fellow adventure travelers from different countries
