This trip gives an awesome exposure to the Spanish history and key cultural places in Andalucia over the 10 days. Coupled with an excellent tour guide and specialist guides at specific locations, we came away with a great understanding and had a lot of fun doing it.

This was my first trip to Spain and I loved it. Great itinerary, definitely suggest adding time at the start and end to explore Madrid/Barcelona. Berta was great, knowledgeable guide. Can't wait to explore northern Spain next!

Excellent tour with wonderful tour guide. Intrepid do look after their clients
10/21/2023
This Intrepid Tour was great. Small group size made the trip worthwhile. Our TOUR GUIDE was outstanding. Will definitely book a tour with Intrepid in the future.

The Premium Spain tour was a great way to get an overview of southern Spain. We had a small group of only 10, which was good, and our tour leader Lilian was very organised and helpful. We visited many fascinating places.

As someone who has travelled a lot, I was initially hesitant to go with a tour group. However, Intrepid came highly recommended and it certainly lived up to its reputation. The tour ticked off so many of my bucket list dreams, as well as surprising me with amazing memories of places and activities I had never really thought about. Our group was fun and a lot of credit has to go to our leader, Maria. She was patient, helpful, fun and knowledgeable. She really helped make the whole trip outstanding. Thanks Intrepid! I’ll be back!

My wife and I took our parents along with us on this tour and we an enjoyed it immensely. The hotels were great and in the middle of where you want to be. Everything was fantastic The tour leader made us feel like a family. This small group tour was everything that we could have hoped for.

Absolutely an amazing trip! Excellent hotels and tour guide. More than I could have imagined .

Premium Spain- so worth it!! My first Intrepid trip and I’m sold- a group of 12 people so it was easy to get around, and was quite manageable. Our tour guide Maria was a delight to be with, despite her love of Burger King! Seriously we went to some lovely restaurants, and saw some great flamenco dancing, and really learnt plenty-Loved it!

This was a very well organised trip visiting most of Andalucia's awe-inspiring monuments, enjoying the delicious food and learning about Spanish culture. The only negative point was the heat (avoid the summer months) and I would have liked to have spent more time in Barcelona (book extra days).
07/04/2023
Spain is a magical place to visit! This was a nice itinerary with a great group of people. I value that Intrepid is a B Corp as this aligns with my personal values. They did a good job with planning the logistics but sadly they provided a guide that had never led the Premium Spain trip before. The guide was kind and did his best in this scenario but his lack of experience with this itinerary and some of the cities did impact the trip.
07/28/2023
We would advise that you get an assurance from Intrepid that you will have an experienced local guide for your tour. We have done three trips in Spain with the Northern tour far superior to the others as we had a local experienced guide. The other two had a German girl who had never been to Spain as leader and it was a nightmare. We were given assurances that we would have local guides in future but were misled and had a last minute replacement leader in Liviu who was Romanian but living in Spain. We were so disappointed and angry.

The Spain-Portugal Intrepid Travel Tour is brilliant. Both legs are well led, well organised and well-run.

The Premium Spain tour with Sergi as a guide was fantastic!
06/03/2023
This was a great overview of Southern Spain and the small group size is a really nice way to travel. Our guide, Sergi, was phenomenal. I would recommend adding a day on either end to allow for more time in Madrid and Barcelona.
06/04/2023
Wonderful tour of Southern Spain. Well organised tour, interesting activities, knowledgeable local guides. Tour guide was thoughtful, had good knowledge of the area and went out of his way to provide a great experience
06/05/2023
The main reason I took this tour, was the chance to visit the beautiful cities of Toledo, Seville, Cordoba and Granada. These cities and the attractions within them did not disappoint.
05/19/2023
This is a truly wonderful experience that is both sybaritic (food, scenery) and informative, especially about how Spain evolved through the joint influence of the Western religions. Architecture buffs will especially appreciate the journey. Requires a couple miles of walking most days but not on really challenging terrain. Loved it and are glad we went.
05/16/2023
There is much to see and experience in Spain. Having a small group of Intrepid Adventurers should give you lasting memories
05/06/2023
Our tour guide, Sergi, is an awesome guide and person. This trip covered a lot of Spain and Sergi is very knowledgeable about the country and his passion and love came through in everything he does. The restaurant recommendations and information he shared with our group was spot on and he stated that all of the guides with Intrepid share their findings with each other to ensure all tours are great. We had a great group of 11 (max was 12) that traveled well together which enhanced our experience. I would definitely do this exact trip again so my family can experience it too!
